You've been putting off buying proper touring boots for seasons now with the classic, "No touring boot is stiff enough" mantra. Since you're still in alpine ski boots, you don't get out as much as you should, which means that your boots are holding you back. SCARPA heard your cry for help though, and they took it to heart when they created the SCARPA Maestrale XT Alpine Touring Boot, their first backcountry boot with a 130+ flex, so you don't ever have to deal with boots that can't keep up with you again. By using a Carbon Grilamid Web Frame, SCARPA was able to stiffen up the shell without adding weight which when combined with their beefed-up Speedlock XT walk mechanism means these boots can handle all the drive and power you can throw at them. The wave closure system automatically distributes pressure evenly across your foot to keep it locked into place, and the triple buckle design ensures that this boot feels like an extension of your leg instead of a loose, clunky piece of plastic hanging from your foot. For added comfort, the Intuition liner can be custom molded to the shape of your foot, and the wide last ensures that the next time you are staring down the barrel of a 2,000-foot couloir, you won't be thinking about how much your feet hurt.
