Black Diamond Push Telemark Ski Boot - Men's
Changed my skiing
By Bill Schildknecht
Ranked #185 - Telemark Ski Boots
February 4, 2010
My old boot is a T2 - so these are significantly more stiff and burly. I'm finding that I feel more comfortable skiing aggressively and charging lines with this boot. Am also able to shift between tele and parallel turns more easily and can carve a better parallel turn.
pros:
-beefy front tongue allows you to apply greater forward pressure on the ski
-the boa liner closure is quick and works flawlessly
-going from walk to ski mode takes only a simple flick of the rear latch - and you can actually feel and hear the mechanism engage/disengage
-my first 4 buckle tele boot - love the adjustment possibilities
cons:
-weight - for long distance touring I'll likely go back to the T2's
