Re: Wide Last Xplorer Boot?

Well I bit the bullet and ordered some Alfa Vista from REI. They were half off, can’t beat that. Excited to try them on, hopefully they fit my wide feet!

Now I just need to decide on what Fischer ski I want. Leaning towards getting the 78 and 98.

Xplore Tips and Tricks?

I’m still on the fence about ordering the Xplore binding and boots. Couple of questions, when I get to a downhill run do I need to put in a different flexor every time? What about when I get to the bottom of the hill? Stick the other flexor in? Seems like a pain compared to my switch backs or cartri...

Re: Has anyone tried the Altai Skis Alico Boot

I have a pair of those. Unfortunately they are 1 size too big and didn’t use them or could return cus I skied them. Felt great around house however. I did get heel blister after I skied them probably because too big.

Make sure to double check size before sking them!

Re: Wide Last Xplorer Boot?

Thanks Tom. I plan on getting the Fischer 78s. I’m about 200lbs and 6ft 3. Go for the 199 length? Also I can’t decide between the Alfa Vista or Skaget for my Xplore binding. It seems the Vista is a little more burly and warmer from looking at reviews and pictures.

Re: Wide Last Xplorer Boot?

Good to know about Alfa. I think I might pull the trigger on the Vistas. How is sizing on them compared to Alpina? Size down from Alpina?

Wide Last Xplorer Boot?

Howdy,

I have a very wide foot. I wear extra wide in most shoe brands. Who makes the widest last boot for the Xplore boots?

Just some background, I’ve tried on several Fischer and Alpina and those were too narrow for my feet.

Thanks

Re: Does the Voile Transit Make any Sense???

Howdy, I might be a little bias. 😂 But here is my 2 cents. I have a few different binding options in my quiver for my downhill focused bc setup. Ranging from 3 pin, Switchback, Axle, Lynx, Voile TTS. Out of all the bindings I prefer the Voile TTS and second place is the Switchback. NTN is a great pl...

Re: Brand new tele skier seeking community guidance

Howdy, Welcome. Depends on what type of skiing your going to be doing. If your mostly doing backcountry skiing and your terrian is mostly up then straight down a NTN setup would work great. If your mostly skiing rolling terrian I’d look at a fish scale setup with 75mm. Reach out to Freeheel life or ...
