We like The Lange XT3 130 Alpine Touring Boot because it skis like an alpine boot and tours like a backcountry boot. Yeah, yeah, yeah... we know what you are thinking, everyone says that about their alpine touring boots. Well, you are going to have to trust us. The powerful 130 flex pairs up with a torsionally rigid construction so that you can properly control your skis in steep and technical terrain. Meanwhile, the 53 range of motion provided by the walk-mode ensures you can skip up skin tracks with ease.
