Telemark Talk / Telemark Tips Forum

So I am sorry that I truly missed the boat- I should have bought a pair of the Andre Rifugio when they still had my size...

Although I love the look of those Andrew Zenith- they are VERY expensive- and they at least appear to be a leather "Telemark" boot...

I am not looking for a leather "Telemark" boot.
I have a Scarpa T4- that I love- for downhill-focused Nordic touring- I really can't justify spending $700CAN (at least) to get a leather Telemark boot...I bet those Andrews are heavier than my T4...

What I am looking for is a leather 75mm-3pin BC-XC/XCD with a welted sole- something that is going to be more durable than the glued-sole boots (e.g. Alaska 75/Svartisen 75; etc.)

I already have a Lofoten 75 and- although I am not "thrilled" with them- I really should just resign myself to wearing these out and keep my eyes on a good deal.

Boots I am keeping an eye on:
- Crispi Bre
- Andrew Refugio (and that other one on the Australian sites)

I wish I had not ended up with the uber-wide version of the Ski March boot...My pair are imaculate- they are just ridiculously wide!

What about these?

Thats a bargain. Obviously, you'd be getting a nice book but its still a thermomolded sole. Not providing you with any info you don't yet have.

Guess it depends on your point of view. Take the bargain and try something new and possibly interesting. Or pay in full and get yourself one of the very best, hand made will love: Crispi Breeeeee

By the way I've got a pair of Alico Ski March 8 UK not too wide, used once maybe. Let me know if you're interested.

Fjellsport won't ship to CAN.

Looks like it might cost almost $700CAN (shipping and taxes in) to get a pair of Cripi Bre landed in Stanley!

↑ Alico Double? Too heavy and uncomfortable. Prefer my T4.

Chao Belle? Molto Bella? очень хороший ботинок?

So these are more boot than I was looking for but they are immaculate- barely used: They fit me like a glove.

As long as they fit, I think your Storetind will be very happy. Congratulations on finally getting that Norwegian welted boot!
Btw they look like they may have gone for a test ride maybe once, very cool.
