Ski touring is gaining in popularity, attracting those looking to combine physical endurance with the pleasure of gliding through often unspoilt landscapes. For advanced practitioners, the choice of ski touring boots is crucial for an optimal experience. This guide offers technical advice on selecting the model best suited to your needs.

1. Understanding the specifics of ski touring boots

A. Flex and rigidity

The performance of a ski touring boot is greatly influenced by its stiffness, often expressed in terms of "flex". Flex indicates how easily the boot bends. For advanced skiers, a high flex (generally between 100 and 130) offers better power transmission between leg and ski, essential for technical descents. However, too high a flex can limit comfort and mobility when climbing. So it's crucial to strike a balance based on your skiing style and frequently explored terrain.

B. Ski and walking modes

The boots feature a system for switching between ski and walk modes. This mechanism adjusts the angle of the collar for better amplitude when climbing. A boot with good travel (at least 60 degrees) is ideal for long climbs and varied terrain.

C. Binding compatibility

There are two main types of binding: insert bindings and alpine bindings. The former are lightweight but require specific footwear; the latter offer greater safety on descents.

2. Choosing the right size and fit for your ski touring boots

A. Foot measurement and boot volume

Size must be precise to avoid chafing on long days in the mountains; measure your feet at the end of the day.

B. Importance of shell and liner

The shell must offer support without restricting blood circulation; materials such as Grilamid or Pebax are popular.

C. Closure system

Fastening systems (buckles, laces) must enable precise adjustment; micro-adjustable buckles can refine tightening.

3. Innovative materials and technologies for ski touring boots

A. Lightness vs. durability

For advanced skiers, the balance between lightness and durability is essential; materials like carbon offer rigidity while reducing weight.

B. Thermal insulation

Good insulation is crucial for high-mountain excursions; check the quality of insulation in the liner as well as breathable membranes like Gore-Tex.

C. Additional technologies

Some shoes incorporate innovative technologies such as Vibram soles or quick-adjust systems to facilitate adjustments on the road.

4.Top recommended ski touring boot brands

When choosing your Tecnica ski touring boots, also bear in mind other well-known brands such as Scarpa or Dynafit. These brands offer a wide range of boots to suit different levels of experience and different types of use on varied terrain.
