It's getting more and more difficult to find lightweight 3-pin boots for XC skiing, so I was really excited when I found these. They fit my feet well and offer enough support for a little off-trail skiing when the white stuff starts accumulating. They're warm enough to ski in when the thermometer hits zero without relying on 8 pairs of socks, and they're fairly comfortable. They don't offer too much support up top because of the laces higher up, but I haven't had any problems rolling ankles in them.

They're a nice boot for the money, but they're also pretty much the last 3-pin boots you'll find that aren't super stiff and super heavy. Go for it if you just can't bring yourself to put new plastic bindings on your Bonnas. They're a little low-tech, but if that mattered you probably wouldn't have 3-pin bindings on your skis.

I was encouraged to order these boots by a review from another bigfoot (size 15 US, 50 European). It's hard to find size 15/50 XC boots, and VERY hard to find them to fit a three pin binding.

I have been hunting three years for boots to replace my old Alpina boots, which I bought used from a rental shop because they were the only boots I could find that fit. I paid about $50 twelve or thirteen years ago. Even at the size 15/50 premium price these new boots are a much better deal. The quality of construction is up a step from my old boots, and they fit my rather narrow feet just fine over thick hiking socks.

I was looking for a heavier, backcountry, boot but jumped at these because they will at least keep me going until I find what I want or give up. I ordered them two days ago and they arrived today! Excellent service! I may have bought the last pair this size; I don't see 15/50 on the list today.

This Alpina boot is well-made, warm, and comfortable. I am very pleased with my pair--especially since it's harder and harder to find boots that fit my ski bindings. For those who don't want to give up their 75mm three-pin bindings, these boots are a great choice.

I outgrew my favorite Alpina touring boots so I was hurriedly trying to find a suitable replacement. Honestly, these were the cheapest 3-pin boots I could find but they were from a brand I trusted, so I ordered them. Arrived very quickly, in time for a trip to Methow Valley. The fit was perfect and they are very comfortable. They don't slide up and down on your heel, and the toe box is generous but not too wide (I wear a women's 9B-C and I ordered a size 41). The lacing system secures the fit well. The heels were very stable on both backcountry and track skis. They didn't feel as warm as my older Alpina boots, but we were skiing in -6F conditions and although my toes felt cold for about 30-45 minutes of the day, feeling came back quickly once we were skiing hard. Great price, very comfortable fit, warm enough for skiing 5-6 hours a day in -6F conditions, good stability, and a good secure fit.

These are the perfect boots for my light weight favorite cross country skis that have the three hole binding. The boots were warm and comfortable from the first use. Buying the boots let me get more enjoyment out of my old ski system. Thanks!

This boot worked out well yesterday the first day I used it. It was rather snug in the forefoot when I first tried it on and that will work out to my advantage. Since I like to skate with my three pin, I may add a belt/strap to the ankle for support. However, for touring this boot is the bomb.

We were pleased to find new all-purpose 3pin boots at a reasonable price. We tested them out on ungroomed Sierra cement and found that we had good support and control. I'm sure we will enjoy these boots for years to come!

These boots were a gift for my wife. She is very happy with them, they are warm and comfortable.

I love my new boots, particularly since they fit my old bindings & now my skis should last me the rest of my life. Unfortunately, the boots arrived at the end of skiing season, so I haven't had the chance to wear them on the trail, but in the house they're great!

I bought these 3-pin boots to replace my old backcountry boots that had fallen apart. I did not yet want to discard my old backcountry skis and 3-pin bindings and I did not want to spend hundreds of dollars on new boots. I used these boots on a hut trip and they were pretty good, although I did not do any skiing on mountainsides. They were great ascending and more stable than I thought descending. The boots are a bit narrowly cut. I went up one size. They still pinched, but were tolerable. You might want to go up two sizes. They are a decent buy for the price.

Found web site because 10 year old boots falling apart and spouse (who does all the gear stuff) a 3 pin binding fanatic. As pretty intermittent recreational skier happy to find what appeared to be good boot at good price. Picked a size too small but process of return and reorder very smooth.

Boot itself comfortable and good quality at a reasonable price. Will order additional ones as our additional family boots wear out. Great web site, good boot, smooth customer service!!!

These boots gave me a cheap way to get into XC skiing -I got a used pair of skis/bindings/poles for cheap on eBay and these boots. For about $110 total, I now have a rig to zip around in parks and up and down the lakeshore here in Chicago.

It is always nice when manufacturers give a nod to backward compatibility (in this case the 3-pin binding) in this techie jungle of newfangled, mutually incompatible designs. By using equipment older than the cutting edge, you can get good results for a small fraction of the price of the latest designs.

The boots are comfortable for my narrow, flat feet. (As always in footwear, though, your results may vary.) They keep my feet plenty warm and dry. I haven't yet run into any problems with soreness or blistering. All told, these boots are a winner.

I have been very happy with these boots. So much so, I recently bought my wife a pair. They are a very economical way to keep using your favorite older skis.

I have used these boots a few times and am very happy with them. They fit my old three pin skis perfectly and have a nice fit.

excellent boot and very comfy!

Last year, when my old 3-pin boots bit the dust, I went looking for another pairl. Boy, were they hard to find. I reluctantly bought this synthetic pair. But it is even more comfortable and useful than my older leather pair. Hope they last a long time.

I found the Alpine Blazer Touring Boots to be a good value. Today the three pin boots are hard to come by so I was thrilled to find them at a reasonable price. With them I can extend the life of my vintage Fisher skis. And the web site, and customer service are easy to use. I am a happy camper/skiier!

This is a comfortable, warm, sturdy boot that works well for the casual skiing I do on mostly groomed trail. Bought size 42 for my size 9-91/2 foot. A tad roomy in the toe, but better than too small. I was so happy to find these so I can get more years out of my trusty old Rossignol skis without the expense of new bindings and $$ boots. These seem a real bargain at $55.

This boot fits the bill for all with older three pin bindings, price is great and boot fits well, nice big toe box but still go up 1 size....
Very happy customer

Boots are comfy and warm. The boot is so well constructed that it adjusted itself to my flat feet. What a bargain for such quality!

Glad I was able to find 3 pin boots for my daughter. We have quite a few pairs of skis from over the years. Didn't want to invest in all new gear for her not knowing how much she'll use them. They did run a bit small, should order 1 size larger.

Great Boots!!!...Very Happy with Price...I Will tell my friends and family about you...Good Job!!! I'll be back...Good Luck for the New Year.

The people at Back Country are great. But the product unfortunately has an integrity problem in the plastic lace eyelets. Before I even got the second boot on one of those plastic eyelets cracked and would not hold the lace. Plastic does not seem like a sturdy choice for material especially in the cold weather which is requisite for skiing.

The boots are great,finally. It took 3 tries to get a pair to fit! Your sizing chart needs to be adjusted for U.S. sizes. I wear 9 1/2E and ended up with a 45 that is supposed to be size 11 according to the chart,when they arrived the box states 10.5 US. Boots are of good quality and priced right.

Saved a ton of money by buying old x-country skis. At the time i didn't know I was buying out of date skis, but in the end I found these boots and they are working great.
