Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Low Volume AT Boots
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi there,

now that season is coming to an end, I am contemplating new boots. I used to ski in beefy-ish AT boots for everything.

Tried Scarpa Quattro XTs which fit kind of well but found them dead stiff, like, no perceivable forward flex/locked out. For me, the stiffest boot ever tried.

May be the SL does better in that regard?

I am now considering getting dedicated Alpine and AT.

My foot seems to fit 98mm lasts. Instep is low-medium, given than I can ski the Quattros.

Finding alpine boots should be easy. But, which are my AT options? I am looking at boots in the upper register in terms if stiffness, say stiffer than maestrales. Skis are Kastle TX103.

Thanks!!

My advice...

Go and see a quality boot fitter (I highly recommend Solutions4Feet). Answer all their questions honestly and buy the boot that they recommend, which fits your foot properly and matches your skiing needs.

Don't go with any preconceptions of buying a particular boot.

For a dedicated, lightweight touring boot, you might need to go to a specialist such as Backcountry UK in Otley. They seem to get good reviews on here.
