Comments about Rossignol BC X11 75mm Backcountry Ski Boot:

great boot for all conditions. will crank those teles but just a bit flexible so get a ski/binding to handle them. they deliver a lot and at less weight/cost than bigger plastic boots. works great on track skiing.

Comments about Rossignol BC X11 75mm Backcountry Ski Boot:

I break trail and ski in rolling Colorado mountain backcountry with occasional tele turns for 40-50 days per year. Boot is warm except when submerged in powder for extended periods. Very comfortable and offers good support when turning. BUT, the ratchet buckle on the forward compression straps of both boots are riveted to flimsy fabric straps and have broken off after less than two seasons of skiing. Surely an old-line ski company like Rossi could have done a better job of engineering! Mine go back to REI this week.

Comments about Rossignol BC X11 75mm Backcountry Ski Boot:

My old Asolo Snowfield boots finally died, giving me a chance to try to update my gear. I tried out NNN-BC gear but it just didn' make me happy. The moment I tried these on at the store, I knew these were the right boots. They're comfy, supportive, and warm - better than my Snowfields in nearly every way.

These are the perfect compromise between tourability and just a tad of tele-ability for me.

Comments about Rossignol BC X11 75mm Backcountry Ski Boot:

i would caution against buying these boots! i have a pair and after only about ten outings they broke. the upper buckle is attached to the boot by a soft material that is not leather. i don't know how it happened (didn't slice it off with the ski, because it was on the outboard side of the boot away from the skis) but i'm guessing it was just wear from kicking and gliding. the buckle was still attached to the plastic strap and the strap was just waving in the wind!
i was wondering about that piece when i first got them out of the package... on the bright side, they are light and comfortable to walk in. i ski them with karhus 10th mountains and a voile 3 pin cable binding. i think the next purchase might just be some old school 3 pin leather boots.
i have tried garmont excursions on this set up and that was ok too. would prefer that if i was going downhill more often. kicking and gliding was very doable in them, just not near as comfy.

Comments about Rossignol BC X11 75mm Backcountry Ski Boot:

Man, I really wanted to like these boots and I waited until I put in a lot of miles before writing a review. The biggest problem I've had with these boots is the buckle/strap system. It's too small and you can't adjust the ratchet buckle without taking gloves off. The straps are also thin plastic, so if you're using them in -20 weather or colder, expect them to break.

Comments about Rossignol BC X11 75mm Backcountry Ski Boot:

My foot is on the wide side, and these fit me like a glove. The thermo-mold inner liner is great at conforming to your foot. The ratchet two-buckle system is great at giving a snug and secure fit. These are great for backcountry touring on low to moderate slopes with a variety of metal-edged skis. I use them with standard 3-pin bindings to keep things light and simple. I also pull my kids with the Chariot system and my boot/ski combo is great at giving the added support needed. One reviewer gave it a poor rating because it did not fit their foot. Fit should not be a criteria for rating footwear performance and construction.

Comments about Rossignol BC X11 75mm Backcountry Ski Boot:

Great boot, warm, comfortable, and just the right combination of rigid/flexibility. Great for overnighters since they are very comfortable and warm to wear around camp. Waterproof, and damage resistant since I always go off the beaten path. Overall a good boot for touring, and moderate downhill.

Comments about Rossignol BC X11 75mm Backcountry Ski Boot:

I skied about 20 days last season on these boots. Performance wise they are great. My technical ability noticably improved when I replaced my old leather snowfields with them. Durability is the issue. There is an upward facing seam that wraps around the toe that metal ski edges are subject to catching on and will eventually rip unless protective measures are taken. I returned those boots to REI for a new pair and bought some gaitors that may do the trick, but I may have to modify them.

Comments about Rossignol BC X11 75mm Backcountry Ski Boot:

Like the poster above said, there's a spot right below the right ankle that rubs all the time, and after 2 hours -- you can't even walk in them, it hurts so bad. I would suggest going with another boot.
