Burly Touring Boots

By Jason Mitchell Ranked #19 - Alpine Touring Boots March 5, 2009

If you're looking for burly touring boots that won't back down from any conditions, the Skookum's are the trick. Very comfortable right out of the box, but downright slipper-like after getting the Intuition liners custom molded, these boots are solid. If you are strictly touring, these may be a bit overkill, but for in/out riding or the "one boot to rule them all", these would be an excellent choice. Fit is nice and comfortable with a last in the 103mm or slightly larger range (don't know exactly, but it's not a narrow boot). Walkability is pretty good, but not as good as say, the Garmont Radium. The burly power strap adds to the overall stiffness, but does get in the way when putting them on or taking them off. Choose from A/T or Dynafit binding options and proceed to climb up and rip up the down.
