Terrible boots. I've also tried two pairs of Botas boots, different models. Both are far superior to these Alpina RSK boots. The boots lack stability. The torsional strength is poor; they flex and bend easily. In addition, the heel on one of the boots kept hitting the fins on the bindings, rather than settling smoothly into the grooves, which caused additional stability issues. The grooves/channels on the soles are narrower than on the Botas' boots, which I think contributes to the problem. If that wasn't enough, they also grated against my ankle, leaving me with a nasty blister after less than 10k. To top things off, the cuff has little padding and is uncomfortable. The only positive that I can attribute to these boots is the heel lock, which is made of some kind of rubbery material, and seems to work well. |
