Dynafit Vulcan
The Dynafit Vulcan set the current standard for high-performance AT boots. So before we discuss some new challengers, here is our very detailed review of the Vulcan.
Ski Boots
La Sportiva Spectre
Update: the La Sportiva Spectre has stood as one of the most adjustable and best values in AT boots—and it's been updated to provide a better fit.
2015-2016 Dalbello Lupo SP I.D.
The Dalbello Lupo SP I.D. could be a particularly good choice for those who take more of a freestyle approach to the mountain and do a lot of hiking in the resort or shorter backcountry tours.
2015-2016 Fischer RC4 130 Vacuum
Three of us at Blister have now reviewed the Fischer RC4 130 Vacuum, and all three agree that it is the best fitting boot (and perhaps the best overall boot) that we have ever used.
2014-2015 Dodge Ski Boot
Dodge is making a carbon fiber ski boot that is quite stiff, customizable, and skis great on piste.
2014-2015 Atomic Hawx 2.0 120
The Atomic Hawx 120 was one of the best-selling, medium-fit ski boots in the world. We take a look at the latest iteration of it, the Hawx 2.0 120.
Fischer Vacuum Ranger Pro 13 & RC4 130
The Fischer Ranger Pro 13 Vacuum may have the most precise, snug, performance-oriented fit of any boot on the market while remaining genuinely comfortable, and offers outstanding downhill performance and feel, as a result.
2014-2015 Blister ‘Best Of’ Awards
In the next round of Blister's 'Best Of' Awards, we talk about some of the best snowboards out there.
2014-2015 Tecnica Cochise 130 Pro
The redesigned Tecnica Cochise 130 Pro is a top contender among alpine boots with a walk / hike mode.
2014-2015 Lange RS 120 S.C.
The Lange RS 120 S.C. is a solid boot that can be driven hard in all conditions, but is also really comfortable.
2014-2015 Dalbello KR 2 Kryzma I.D.
If you are an aggressive female skier looking for a high-performance alpine boot, the Dalbello Kryzma is well worth considering.
Update: La Sportiva Spectre
The La Sportiva Spectre may be the best value in ski touring boots, and we compare it to the Dynafit Vulcan and the Dynafit TLT 5 & 6.
NTN Boots, Part 2: Scarpa T-Race vs. Scarpa Tx Comp
It's time to compare two of the most aggressive boots in their respective platforms - the Scarpa (75mm) T-Race and the Scarpa (NTN) Tx Comp.
NTN Boots, Part 1
For any telemark skier looking to jump to NTN bindings, the boot is an important part of your decision. In this 2-part review, we first discuss NTN boots in general.
Salomon X Pro 120
The Salomon X-Pro 120 alpine boot has a heat moldable, customizable shell that offers a very impressive mix of comfort, forgiveness, and performance.
Black Diamond Shiva Mx
The redesigned Black Diamond Shiva Mx is a comfortable touring boot that puts a premium on downhill performance.
Salomon Quest Max BC 120
The Quest BC 120 is an excellent do-it-all boot for those who want a solid alpine boot that does well touring.
Black Diamond Shiva
Ultimately, all AT boots are built with one of two priorities: the Up or the Down. For those more focused on the down, the Black Diamond Shiva boot is a very good choice.
ZipFit GARA Liner
The ZipFit GARA liner offers a rare blend of durability, performance, and comfort, rather than forcing you to pick just one.
