Scarpa Tornado Pro Alpine Touring Boot
Not for Touring

Ranked #80 - Alpine Touring Boots

I bought a pair of these to do both downhill and touring. I did not realize that they didn't have a rockered sole. When I got them, I was like "so what?" But on my first outing with them into the backcountry, I realized how uncomfortable a non-rockered sole is for walking in anything but soft snow. These boots are heavy, too. I would more or less classify them as a downhill boot with a walk feature, not a real AT boot.

You mat buy the Rally sole for this boot that will give it Rocker. Unfortunately you do Sacrifice weight for performance in an AT freeride boot.
