XT3 TOUR PRO SKI BOOTS - 2023

Lange steps up to the "real touring boot weight class" this season with the introduction of the Lange XT3 Tour Pro Alpine Touring Ski Boots. Typically, this is a company that prioritizes downhill performance, and this is no rando race shoe but a solid, 4 buckle overlap contender with a real cuff and tongue liner. They've dropped the weight dramatically by switching to Grilamid® plastic and adopting glued-on lightweight ISO 9523 soles, which is typical in this category. Ski performance is on a higher level than pure touring boots in the same weight range, so if downhill performance matters to you (and it should), you'll be a happy camper indeed.
