Alfa Skaget Perform Mens (Rottefella Xplore System)

— Show original

Sturdy and wide enough boots. On the first test ski, there were huge cracks in the heels, but with the right choice of socks and enough use, the boots shaped to fit your foot.

Basic last, because it's a winter shoe and there needs to be enough room for socks.

A nice wide last, where the toe mobility and blood circulation are maintained even if the boots are worn a little tighter. My foot is about 275 mm long and the widest part of the foot is almost 110 mm, and the size chart was a bit of a pain for me (44). It's nice that you don't have to choose a larger size to get enough width, so the hinge of the sole fits better at the foot and the binding attachment is closer to the toes, which makes skiing easier and keeps the heel in place during telemark turns. Anyone who has skied a long distance with 75 mm rat traps knows what it's like when the joint point between the boot and the ski is too far away, when you have to take a narrow last boot a size or two larger. The Skaget is torsionally stiff and skis precisely even on uneven surfaces, and the stiffness of the Xplore is comparable to a Rottefella tip binding when you have to take the ski to the edge. The retaining balls on the Xplore binding may have gotten stuck for some users, so it's a good idea to keep them well-oiled and always carry a tool with you that can be used to release the ball by pushing in the opposite side, such as a set of house keys.

Very promising, no need to bend over when attaching or removing. Attaching to the mono requires precision, it is not always possible immediately.

The last of the boots fits really well for wide feet, they are also very warm. Skiing on skis is smooth and sufficiently supportive. The downside of the product is the lacing, which practically requires the removal of the gloves. At the Achilles tendon, it was really hard at first and caused chafing, but after enough break-in, it started to sit.

Great mobility is enabled by the bandage model. Warm and sturdy overalls.

Great boot. A little roomy in the toe box compared to Alpina. This makes it great for the cold, though perhaps less responsive.

I think the size is a little big. We recommend choosing a tighter size than your normal size.

I was worried because I didn't try it on, but it fits perfectly and feels great. It is a valuable item because it has not been developed in Japan. I want to try it on snow soon.

Alfa Skaget Perform Boots are what they say, comfortable, warm, super light with great ankle support. Well made and true to there size with lots of room in the toe box. Very nice boots. Mark British Columbia, Canada
