Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices.

The folks at Scarpa tell us the Maestrale is the world's lightest 4-buckle randonee boot. We haven't weighed every boot ever made, but at only 3,032g (6 lbs. 10 oz.) per pair, it's easy to believe.

The Maestrale boots are perfect for backcountry tours that involve miles of hiking and skinning to reach fresh tracks off the summit of an alpine peak
Boots feature lightweight Pebax Rnew® plastic that is made from castor plant oil rather than petroleum as most plastics are
Pebax Rnew performs exceptionally well across a wide range of temperatures, ensuring consistent flex, strength and stability
Shell design combines the best of both the overlap and cabrio constructions to allow easy entry/exit, excellent volume control and strong support for downhill performance
Touring-style Intuition Pro Flex liners use 100% Ultralon® foam for a custom fit; liners offer good range of motion yet provide support with stiff tongues for the descent
Tongue-style liners (as opposed to a wrap-style liners) provide easy entry and comfortable flex through the shins when touring
See an REI ski shop professional to have the liners custom molded to your feet to maximize comfort and performance
Boots are compatible with all randonee bindings; tech fittings at the toes of the boots accept Dynafit-style bindings
Tech fittings have grooves that make getting into Dynafit-style bindings easy; fitting indicators can be seen from above to help you line the boot toes up with the bindings
4 magnesium buckles are strong and light; asymmetric tongues transfer power precisely
Wide rip-and-stick power straps wrap securely around the outside of the cuffs, distributing pressure and bringing the cuffs as close as possible your lower legs
Rear ski/walk mechanisms free the cuffs for walking comfort; flip the switches to ski mode and you can lock the cuffs at 18° or 22° of forward lean
Scarpa Maestrale randonee boots feature lugged Vibram soles for good grip while hiking on rock and snow

Great boot but one annoying downfall

Comments about Scarpa Maestrale Randonee Boots - Men's - 2011/2012:

This is a very comfortable touring boot. It also provides excellent downhill performance. It's not the lightest boot out there, but considering the price, comfort, and downhill performance it's a great product. It drives my Dynafit Stokes perfectly from powder to boilerplate. It drives my BD Justice perfect in powder and manageably on the hardpack. It is a light, moderately stiff boot - hence the performance decreases with a bigger ski on harder snow. Comparing it to my previous boot, the Dynafit Green Machine, it is far more comfortable - both for touring and the down. It is less stiff (rigid) than the Green Machine, but far more comfortable while still providing comparable downhill performance. The one downfall of the Maestrale is the ski/tour mechanism. I can't remember the last time it locked into ski mode without me having to beat on the back of the boot (near the shaft) to get it to lock in. This is annoying, but I've never not been able to get it to lock into ski mode. My old Dynafit Greens didn't have this problem much at all, but when it did happen I couldn't get them to lock into ski mode no matter what I did (including taking the boot off, the liner out of the shell, and trying to fix it while standing on a snow ledge I dug out at the top of a 45 degree, 15' wide couloir).
