Robust and supportive backcountry ski boots crafted from leather, designed for cross-country skiing and compatible with NNN BC bindings. An excellent option for skiing beyond groomed trails.
In addition to the tall cuff, these ski boots provide warmth through a comfortable Thinsulate insulation, and the anatomic footbed ensures a good fit.
The Alpina BC 1600 features an Alpitex membrane, delivering extra protection against moisture and water.
Anna SalomonssonFrövi, SwedenVerified Buyer5 of 5Not used in action yet but seems really clean and fits well on the foot. Normal in size (would have 40 according to Alpina but went up to 41 which I usually have and they are just right)Bjarne L.Skien, NorwayVerified Buyer5 of 5Well satisfied after the first trip.Христинин Игорь АлександровичСамара, RussiaVerified Buyer2 of 5Advantages:
1. They give the impression of being sturdy and solid (as it turned out later - it is not quite so).
2. Comfortable and warm enough - up to -15 degrees Celsius.
3. Skatepro paid for delivery by courier to the apartment door.
Disadvantages:
1. Not immediately noticed, but on the heel of one of the boots a section of leather length of about 7 mm is not tucked under the sole - this is 100% manufacturing defect, which is simply unacceptable.
2. After about 130 kilometers on the left shoe began to slightly peel off the sole - it's just terrible(
Disappointed with the quality of the Alpina brand.Josef FrancPlumlov, Czech RepublicVerified Buyer5 of 5Solid footwear for winter hiking in BCJuan Antonio Aleu CaballeroSoto Del Real, SpainVerified Buyer5 of 5Very comfortable, great service.Stefan ThalerCoburg, GermanyVerified Buyer5 of 5Top shoeMartin HuberGeltendorf, GermanyVerified Buyer5 of 5The shoe fits me very well, very comfortable and good support. Has already proven itself in cross-country. DPD shipping between the years took over two weeks.Jamie K.Jonquière, CanadaVerified Buyer5 of 5Been out twice with my 1600s and I am pleased with the quality of the materials and the support. Fit big, but a full size lower would have been too small. Nice and warm too! I am looking forward to when they are fully broken in and feel like slippers...won't take long!
I wear size 49, so the selection for boots in this category is limited. They are a great combination with my Fischer S-Bound 112 (189cm) BC skis with a manual NNN binding (THE way to go!).
After my second outing I reached in to see if they were damp inside and found a piece of duct tape sewn between the sole and the upper - strange! It was deep in the toe box and I had to tear it out. I think I was able to removed it without damaging the lining. I cannot see all the way to the end of the boot, but I cannot feel any tears.
Relatively fast shipping - may have be slowed down slightly because of border crossings from overseas and/or COVID. Happy to have discovered this site - more gear on the way!Jeffrey P.Haines Junction, CanadaVerified Buyer4 of 5These boots are working well after about a dozen uses. They fit a bit big so I use two foot beds and a pair of bigger socks to fill them out. Service was great from Skatepro. They shipped fastRoy TømterudÅbogen, NorwayVerified Buyer5 of 5Great ski shoes!!! Good and warm😁😁Quick delivery👍
