ALPINA R4 Rear Entry Ski Boots Black 22.5

Featuring a 105mm width in the forefoot area, this ski boot is one of the widest options available on the market. For skiers with wide feet, this generous width provides a comfortable fit that allows them to fully enjoy their skiing experience without feeling cramped or developing pressure points throughout the day. Even skiers with average width feet will find this boot to be very comfortable and warm.

With a flex rating of 40, this boot is considered to be very soft for an adult boot, making it ideal for beginners and casual cruisers. However, if this boot is intended for juniors, a 40 flex rating is actually stiffer than average and is better suited for strong young skiers.

Alpina boots use a sizing conversion from mondo to US shoe sizing that differs slightly from other brands. To ensure you find the correct size, be sure to consult the sizing chart provided by Alpina.

The boot is designed with a true rear entry shell, reminiscent of styles from the 1980s. Unlike hybrid rear-entry buckle systems, this boot features a single ratchet-tightening buckle and a large rear opening for easy entry and exit.

For added warmth, this boot includes extra thermal material in the toe area. Additionally, the toe and heel pads are replaceable, making it a convenient option for skiers who don't have the luxury of ski in/ski out condos. Instead of replacing the entire boot due to worn soles, simply replace the sole plates as needed.

Overall, this ski boot offers wide-footed skiers a comfortable and warm option to enhance their skiing experience, while also providing a convenient and durable design that can withstand regular use.
