Alico Teletour Source in the US?

[JVSki]

Hey all, I'm looking for a pair of Alico Teletours (ideally with the strap) in a 41 or 42, and was wondering if anyone had a line of any stocking dealers in the US? I checked with Telemark Pyrenees and they won't be restocking this season unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

Altai has a very similar boot manufactured by Alico

Altai manufactures the Kom and Hok skis

Thanks for the tip, @fisheater I haven't checked their site since I ordered my Koms last year, I'll take a look!

The other boot I stumbled on that might fit the bill is the Crispi Bre, if you or anyone else have any experience with it, I'm all ears. I'm basically trying to replace a pair of Fischer Transnordic 75s that don't agree with my foot but drive my SBound 112s really well.

The reports I hear of the Crispi Bre is that it is a wonderful boot, well made, and a great 75 mm touring boot. I also hear that it is a little soft for downhill Telemark turning. I ran across these Alico boots looking for a possible replacement for my Alaska 75 should it fail, as many seem to do.
For now the Alaska 75 and my UK surplus Ski March are what I ski my Falketind Xplore with, I don’t use my T-4 with that ski. Hopefully the Alaska will go a few more years, but my next “softer” but still turn capable leather 75 mm boot will be a version of these Alico boots.

I'm basically trying to replace a pair of Fischer Transnordic 75s that don't agree with. Y foot but drive my SBound 112s great.

What king of issues are having with the Transnordic 75?

@Krummholz , just an odd fit for me, nothing catastrophic. It's a shame, because I really like how the boot skis.

I'm getting heel lift but the toe box feels a bit narrow and the flex point is giving my hotspots on the outside of my foot near my little toe. I had hoped breaking them in would alleviate the issues, and they've abated a bit, but after a season and a half are still persistent enough that I think it's just not the boot for me. I also tend to run hot and they're a very warm boot, especially on longer tours.

If you’re going to dump the boots you could try to do a little boot molding. Not much you can do about the thickness / warmth. I did some thermo molding on mine and got a better fit. In the tight spots “toes” you can do like this video and add a second toe cap sock to give you more room. You probably just need the hot rice in the toes. Not sure if heating the whole boot would help with heel lift.

I heated mine in an oven, used pieces of a beer cozy taped to my foot, then sock, put the boot on, then vacuum molded it to my foot. I got a better overall fit. This might help the heel lift. https://telemarktalk.com/viewtopic.php? ... =40#p49595

I didn’t have heel lift, just pinching in the ankle and toes.

You can email them directly, but make sure you translate your email into Italian in G-translate, the Italians have the worst language skills in Europe.

Personally I have never found them a terribly cooperative company.

This guy in England has your size range in the Alico double-boot. Brand new. I would negotiate shipping with him, he is overcharging for it.

Hi there, new here. I managed to get my hands on a pair of alico teletours off ebay at the beginning of the season and, while I really enjoyed them up and downhill, I did a longer mission last week and somehow managed to destroy the toes. I did about 10 miles on untracked spring snow and I was in and out of my skis probably 4 times, scoping out different areas. The boots I got are older but still in almost new condition when I got them.

Anyways, it looks like telemark Pyrenees has them in my size (46) but I can't seems to figure out if they have a 42. Also they're in France so shipping takes approx 2 months
