Alpina BC 1550 Backcountry Boot

Item #ALP0162 | 79 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Decent Boots

By Ranked #746 - Cross Country Skiing February 2, 2009

I'm new to xcountry skiing. Didn't experience the problems indicated in some of the other reviews for these boots. Had them out several times in the backcountry on moderate terrain, and so far so good. The outter tongue is a little weird and takes some getting used to when lacing but otherwise all seems well.

I should also add, that the folks at backcountry.com were great - a real pleasure to work with. Given their service and equipment assurance policies, it's tough to see how you can go wrong them. I have no financial interest in the company and think that when outfits do the right thing, they - and others - should be told !!
