F3 Ski Boot

Ranked #750 - Alpine Touring Boots

I've had a few pair of F1's- so the F3 seemed a natural choice. It has a soft flexing bellows- hopefully the F1 boot will change too. The upper is stiffer, more of a traditional shell. The top buckle has a funky catch for touring- took it off- didn't allow to use the teeth from the 3rd on. Have used the boot with and with out the tongue- tours better without. Haven't tried bringing the tongue for tougher conditions- usually know what to expect and plan accordingly. I'm not a fan of big stiff, heavy gear- so this boot with light performance skis (TRAB) fits my needs.
