The Alpina SK Skate Boot is fast on the snow, and its mid-volume fit is comfortable on your feet. The SK features Alpina's Active Skating Cuff, a two-component hard-plastic cuff that provides up to a 9% cant to keep your ski bases flat on the snow. This maximizes your glide and speed. A stiff sole and plastic heel counter work to transmit as much of your energy to the skating kick as possible, while the heel-retention strap ensures you don't get any heel lift. Set the width to your heel once, and the SK is snugged to your foot for its lifetime. Cinch down the power strap for total control—the snug fit and hinged cuff work together to transfer maximum energy without hindering your movement. Alpina eliminated the speed-lace system at the request of pro skiers who couldn't afford to have their boots loosen during a race. Alpina even includes an anatomic footbed, which provides great absorption, quick wicking, and far more support than a stock bed.
Bottom Line: The NNN Racing boot of choice for dedicated skate skiers.
