Scarpa F3 Alpine Touring Boot

If you're looking for lightweight touring boots that'll drive your fat skis in the steep and deep, grab the Scarpa Men's F3 Alpine Touring Boots. The F3 AT boots' ergonomic bellows allow for a full range of motion for skinning up the hill, while the overlaping cuff and dual density shell offer the support to charge the fall line on the way back down. Scarpa gave this Dynafit-compatible boot three buckles and a power strap to lock your foot down, so you won't have to worry about foot slop while touring or skiing. The included Intuition Precision liners are heat moldable to create a snug fit, and they'll keep your feet warm and comfortable on multi-day tours.

Bottom Line: Buckle up the Scarpa F3 Alpine Touring Boot when you want downhill performance without the weight.

Light but powerful

I am just making the switch to AT from tele after 20+ years. Was skiing in T2s for the last ten years. For me this boot has been the perfect transition. Because of the bellows it tours like my old T2s, but lock it down and the control is stellar. They are incredibly light, feels like I have running shoes on; and they were comfortable starting on day one. I tend to ski steep terrain, especially tight couloirs, and I'm finding these boots are plenty of boot for my purposes. I'm skiing them with the Dynafit Vertical, on a pair of two year old Atomic Kongurs. I'm having some trouble adjusting to having my heel locked down, but in terms of performance these boots have far exceeded my expectations. If you ski steep terrain but also like to log 10,000+ days, these boots will get you there.

F3 Ski Boot

I've had a few pair of F1's- so the F3 seemed a natural choice. It has a soft flexing bellows- hopefully the F1 boot will change too. The upper is stiffer, more of a traditional shell. The top buckle has a funky catch for touring- took it off- didn't allow to use the teeth from the 3rd on. Have used the boot with and with out the tongue- tours better without. Haven't tried bringing the tongue for tougher conditions- usually know what to expect and plan accordingly. I'm not a fan of big stiff, heavy gear- so this boot with light performance skis (TRAB) fits my needs.

My boot of choice for most BC skiing

By: Andrew McLean (23)

I Scarpa boot in general, and love the F3 in particular. For almost everything but the steepest of slopes, the F3 has ample control and can drive a mid-phat ski (95mm waist) in most conditions. The beauty of the F3 is that it is so light, reliable and tours so well that you can get many extra thousand feet of climbing (and thus, skiing) in per day. The bellows make it easy to walk in, the fit is legendary Scarpa (super-plush) and when combined with a Dynafit binding you can fly up hill.
