Better than the rest

2 years ago

I’ve tried multiple kinds of nnn bc boots and always found them to be extraordinarily uncomfortable. These are great so far. I’ve used them on about 5 skis already and haven’t had any problems. They have a big toe box which I find keeps my toes unconstricted and warm, but then slims down towards the mid foot and locks my heel into place well. The lacing system is also excellent. Support feels good on the downhills. I wear a size 11.5 (sometimes 12) and found the 46 to fit perfect. I love Salomon! No comment on durability but so far so good.

Love these

1 year ago

I have tried so many NNN BC ski boots. I have had blisters, broken zippers, annoying buckles, worn out velcro... But this pair is fantastic. Wore them straight out of the box with no issues, easy to lace and adjust to fit along my ankle, just the right stiffness, light, warm. I would say they are on the narrow side but seem to be breaking in a bit for my wide toes already.

Roomy, but secure, with no slipage

1 year ago

Compared these to Fischer outback boots and Alpina Alaska, in various sizes, and went with my usual size: 45. These boots offer a little more flex than the Alpina and Fischer boots, but also a more natural fit. I always have trouble with heel slippage and cramped fit in the metatarsal area with hiking and casual shoes, but have no such problems with these. The heel stays secure, with some room for my foot to spread out properly.

heel blisters

1 year ago

Sadly after wearing these a few times they still give me heel blisters. I'm not sure if they designed them for narrower women's heels? Otherwise they are great boots, waterproof warm and sturdy but they just give me blisters

Fantastic backcountry boot

4 months ago

Excellent support and accommodates my mildly wide feet. Fits true to size. Nice and warm. I had a small punch done on the right ankle where I needed a little more room and that dialed the boot in. Initially had the same issues with ankle blisters as reported in other reviews. Seemed to abate as the boot broke in but for longer sessions still tape my ankles, just to be safe. Have stood up really well after one season of use, look almost new. Highly recommend.

Smaller is Better!

5 months ago

Beautiful boot. Just the style I was looking for. Though a side zip for easy in/out could be cool. And heel / toe welts. Originally bought the size 40 and then exchanged for the 41. Normally I am a size 8/40/25.5 but these seemed to be a bit tight so I sized up. More spacious after wearing even for 1 day. True to size. Should have got a 40. Though uncomfortably tight at first they would have been perfect after a day I’m sure.

Just what I was missing in my BC XC setup

4 months ago

Pretty much perfect shoe for a BC Magnum binding. Looks great, performs much better than my previous Alpina Snowfield (which was way cheaper). It's quite lightweight as well. I was a bit skeptical reading several reviews mentioning blisters. That did not happen to me after two outings totaling over 11 mile of skiing. Again, Salomon shoes tend work on my feet well.

Fabulous, except...

2 years ago

I am determined to make these boots work for me. The toe box and arch support are excellent. I have wide feet with a bunion and very high arches and I am pleased with the fit and comfort in this part of the boot. I don't need to use my insoles. They are warm and sturdy. So much to like. The catch is that they give me terrible blisters on the back of my heels. I've tried two different sizes (the first one one purchased at my local ski shop was too big). I've tried breaking them in slowly. I've tried thick socks. I've tried thin socks. Nothing seems to help. Now I just tape my heels with moleskin before I head out and am only lacing the lower part of the boot up to my ankle. I've only tried this twice for shorter skis and it seems OK so far. It does not compromise the function of the boot in tame terrain. Hard to say how this will impact performance in challenging conditions. The new skin on my heels is still very thin and delicate, so I am hoping this gets better as they toughen up. Overall this is a fantastic boot and I'd give it 5 stars if not for the blister issue.

almost excellent

1 year ago

These are almost excellent. They are very well made, with a nice feel to the materials. I love that they are lightweight. They are more comfortable than the others I tried on, including the Alpina Alaska, which felt very boxy and heavy and stiff. The amount of sole flex is perfect and allows a good diagonal stride. They feel supportive, which makes quick maneuvers to avoid obstacles very confident. But I got some heal blisters on one foot (feel are slightly different). The footbed overall feels very constrained, and I have narrow feet. After experimenting with different sock combinations (thinner socks worked best), I replaced the insoles with very thin ones, and that did the trick. It's like when they designed it, they forgot to account for the volume of the insole but still put them in anyway. With the stock insoles, the pinch point that holds the heal in place was too low which caused the rubbing and the blister. With this change, they are now fine. Also a small point is that the ring near the toe that receives the hook of your gaiters is too narrow and mine can go in, but difficult to remove. My gaiters are from the 1990s so it wouldn't surprise me if modern ones have no issue.
