Alpina BC 1550 Cross Country Backcountry Boot - Womens

The Alpina Women's BC 1550 NNN Backcountry Boot has the all features, comfort, and stability you need to keep your feet warm and dry during your full days of backcountry touring. Alpina made the BC 1550 with a coated leather lower and a plastic cuff, with a hook-and-loop power strap for easy adjustment and enough stability to break trail. Constructed on a women's-specific last, the 1550 Backcountry Boot uses Autofit padding around the ankle and a lower rear cuff for a perfect fit. The Alpina BC 1550 Backcountry Boot is only compatible with the NNN BC bindings.

Bottom Line: Alpina's women's-specific BC 1550 is a best-selling boot for good reason.

these boots destroy my feet. It's hard to find a wide slection of BC XC boots so i felt somewhat trapped by Alpina. I think my foot just doesn't fit their design, the heel is wider than mine so i get blisters every single time i use them (despite copious moleskin, duct tape, inserts, etc.). For many they can work, but if you have a narrow heel, save yourself the agony!!

The man and I went out for a sweet little 8 mile tour near Mt. Audobon in CO this weekend. No blisters after 4 hours of touring! The conditions were thin and we had to do lots of technical side stepping over rock and up steep muddy sections. These boots are stable, yet light, and COMFY! I was really impressed with this boot. I have a wide toe box and a short foot. It's usually pretty difficult for me to find something that doesn't pinch the sides of my feet. This boot works great for me.

HiI have a couple of questions. I’m fairly new to this

HiI have a couple of questions. I’m fairly new to this sport. I inherited an older pair of Fisher crown touring skis. The bindings say Salomon SNS Profil Auto Binding. I think they are a decent pair of skis. But I want to explore more off trails. So now I’m on a quest to find a good boot that will work with the SNS binding. I was looking at the Alpina Women's BC 1550 NNN Backcountry Boot. Will this boot or any other NNN type work well with the Salomon SNS Profil Auto Binding. Or does it have to be specific to the SNS binding. Would it be better to change to a different binding? Also is this a decent boot and is it true to size? Or does anyone have any recommendationsThanks for any information I appreciategoobie

Although both SNS & NNN binding systems rely on the same basic idea (single metal rod/pin in toe of boot that attaches boot to binding & thus ski), they vary slightly in pin width and pattern of soles. Unfortunately, these difference make it virtually impossible to use a boot designed for SNS with an NNN binding. In this case, look for any binding that is labeled as NNN BC (Backcountry stocks many).

Happy Feet with these Alpina Backcountry Boots

By: Backcountry.com Employee

These boots go well with the Alpina Rotefella NNN BC Auto Binding - Item #ALP0206.

I was debating between these and the Alpina BC 200L Touring Ski Boot and went with these because I tend to have cold feet and the extra support can't hurt when you're out trailblazing. I took them out tonight and I was very happy with their performance. They were easy to get on/off and my feet stayed plenty warm. I felt that they gave me plenty of support and I was trail breaking in about 8-9" inches of fresh (but heavy) snow.

Great boots, they should last me a long time.

Sizing was spot on - I got the 38s which is exactly right for my foot.
