Scarpa F1 Men’s Alpine Touring Boot

The Scarpa F1 Alpine Touring Boot sets the standard for lightweight ski touring. With a medium-fit last, customizable Intuition liner, and smooth flex pattern, the F1 will keep most skiers comfortable and warm during big days in the alpine when lightweight uphill performance is the priority. 

Hit any busy trailhead during ski season, and you’re sure to see more than one pair of F1 boots being pulled on. The Grilamid shell combines a versatile 102mm last with an industry-leading Intuition liner for a custom fit that works for many types of feet. The Boa fit system creates a secure micro-adjustable midfoot fit, and is easy to adjust even when wearing gloves or mittens. On the skintrack, a 62-degree range of motion in the cuff and rockered Vibram® UFO Evo outsole keep things moving naturally. A fast-buckle cuff closure makes transitions fast and painless. When it’s finally time to reap the rewards of your effort, a 95 flex and carbon core Grilamid plastic provide lateral stiffness, and a smooth, progressive flex. 

Skiers seeking a day-to-day, high-energy (uphill and down) backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering boot should give the F1 a look. The balance of uphill to downhill performance has made these boots category-leaders for years.
