SCARPA Ski Boots for 2022-23

 

From SCARPA’s humble beginnings in northern Italy to their expansive current line of fine-tuned footwear for skiers, climbers, hikers and runners, SCARPA has spent the last 80+ years dedicated to creating innovative and well-crafted mountain footwear. This dedication to innovation continues for the 2022-23 ski season, with the introduction of the new 4-Quattro series of hybrid boots, as well as a new boot in the F1 line, and the most environmentally friendly Maestrale ever.

Alpine AT Boots

Designed in conjunction with ski racing icon Bode Miller, the all-new 4-Quattro ski boots are the lightest ski boots in their class. They are designed to combine power, precision, and sustainability to be the perfect ski boots, both on and off-piste.

All boots in the new 4-Quattro series feature plant-based shells and cuffs that are created from Castor beans to help reduce the amount of carbon released in the production process. The 4-Quattros also feature an incredibly progressive flex that allows the boot to easily absorb small bumps while still providing plenty of pushback when sinking into groomer carves or large compressions in the backcountry. Carbon-infused Grilamid inserts supply torsional stiffness, which makes edge-to-edge transitions snappy and intuitive. Also included on the 4-Quattro series are Speed Lock 4 levers that are easy to work with gloves or mittens on and provide a 61-degree range of motion, allowing long, efficient strides in the backcountry or the parking lot. Combined with GripWalk-norm Presa outsoles, walking in ski boots has never been easier.

Compared to the Maestrale and Gea series of boots, the 4-Quattros have a much lower instep height, closer to that of a traditional overlap boot, while maintaining the progressive flex of a 3-piece boot. This is due to the unique Alpine Axial Hybrid construction that attaches the ladders farther down the medial side of the boot to provide a more adjustable fit and volume that works for most foot shapes. The 4-Quattro series also features a lower stand height than the Maestrale and Gea series, lowering the skier’s center of gravity and providing a more connected feeling to the ski.

              New for the 2022-2023 season is the limited-edition Maestrale Re-Made. Constructed from re-processed construction scraps, the Maestrale Re-Made completely eliminates virgin plastic from its production, making it the most sustainable ski boot ever made by SCARPA. To take things even further, the Finger Strap is 100% PVC free and is made from 50% recycled content. Built in the mold of the tried-and-true Maestrale, the Re-Made is designed for the eco-conscious skier who wants a boot that skis as well as it tours.

              Designed for those skiing the biggest lines in the backcountry, the Maestrale XT is the stiffest, most powerful boot in the Maestrale lineup. To get more stiffness than the Maestrale RS, the XT has a slimmer yet stiffer upper cuff and a Booster Power strap to enhance power transmission. The stock Zeppa XT footbed also provides a 2-degree steeper ramp angle, putting the skier in a more aggressive position for increased control on steeper, more committing lines. All these combined make the Maestrale XT the perfect boot for skiers riding big lines and needing the ultimate in downhill performance.

              The gold standard in touring, the Maestrale and Gea are boots that helped redefine what touring boot could be. Lightweight and versatile, the Maestrale and Gea are suitable for skiers of any level who don’t want to sacrifice skiing performance in the backcountry. Innovations like the Lambda Frame Shell that combines two densities of plastic around the heel, pivot, and midfoot to provide exceptional lateral stability while the Wave System closure provides the same fit and comfort of a traditional 2-buckle lower at a fraction of the weight. Add in the HRS strap to lock in your heel at the flip of a buckle, and you have a no-compromise-needed touring boot.
