With warm insulation and tall supportive cuffs, these boots are designed for women who want to explore the untracked backcountry in comfort.

  • Plastic cuffs and heel counters give firm support; ankle straps add control
  • Synthetic uppers help keep your feet dry
  • Thinsulate™ insulation keeps feet warm over the long haul
  • Auto-fit inner padding and anatomically shaped footbeds maximize comfort and control; designed around a woman's foot shape (narrower than a man's)
  • Tough rubber rands offer toe box protection and resist wear in icy conditions
  • NNN BC soles efficiently transfer energy to the skis, plus provide nonslip walking traction off the skis

Sizing charts are a general guideline designed for the average skier. When selecting a size, please keep in mind that there could be additional factors that can affect which size would best suit your needs. If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding ski sizing, please contact us at 1-800-426-4840.

        Comments about Alpina NNN BC 1550L Backcountry Boots - Women's:

        I recently converted from 3-pin leathers to the NNN bindings with these boots. I have no idea what I was waiting for. These are fantastic - my ankles are well supported, my feet are never cold and I'm getting more control out of my skis than I ever did with the traditional 3-pins.

        sturdy but hurts the feet

              Comments about Alpina NNN BC 1550L Backcountry Boots - Women's:

              This seems like a great boot except, for me, there is a LOT of movement in the heel (a common problem for women) and they actually rub the tops of some of toes, which I have never had happen in skiing or hiking boots. Two pairs of socks didn't seem to help as much as I had hoped. I'll keep experimenting with socks and hope to break them in. I bought them at the end of the season in March but only used them starting in November. Obviously, the fit will vary with every person. They felt fine when I tried them on. I had to give them a decent work out to know the fit. Interestingly, the x-country ski center near Davis, WV uses these for some of their rentals, so if you are close to there, you can give the boots a real try.

                Comments about Alpina NNN BC 1550L Backcountry Boots - Women's:

                These are great for light backcountry touring. Not supportive enough to carve big turns. Too heavy-duty for groomed resorts. Good fit.

                Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                These boots don't give your foot much support. They are also very hard to get tight. They do keep your feet dry and warm though.

                  Ouch! Bend of boot during the kick motion comes right on the top of toes and they hurt for hours after use. Boot needs a major redesign. Other reviews have validated the same concern. I sent the boots back for a refund.
