Alpina BC 1550 Backcountry Boot

Item #ALP0162 | 79 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Looks great, functions poorly

By Ranked #95 - Cross Country Skiing January 20, 2012

I bought these boots primarily becuase I liked the way they looked. As my Dad always says, "no matter how well or poorly you might do, always look your best". Well I look good, but the blisters on my toes from only 4km trip are terrible. As with other reviewers, I tried a variety of solutions to this problem but without any better result. These boots will soon be relegated to the dust bin in the garage as I have purchased a different boot. Would return them if I could but bought them on sale at the end of last season.
