The new Alpina Elite Carbon boots combine the Titanium/Carbon Composite Technology that made the TCS/SCL amazingly light and stable with a completely new shoe last and sole that sets a new standard in ski boot performance. Alpina achieved a new paradigm with these boots.
Out-of-the-box thinking sums up their design concept. Alpina's R&D team have been diligently working on this project for well over three years, studying athletic footwear from literally all the sports. They investigated new materials, new techniques of manufacturing and new technologies. Then they focused their energies on combining totally new slip materials, a whole new approach to fit, lacing, and a dynamic new shape to the carbon titanium cuffs.
The result of this is the Elite series that delivers the closest integration of foot to boot to ski imaginable. They provide a feeling that is like having your foot directly attached to the ski. The fit is the most precise, comfortable second skin racing that has ever been brought to the market.
BNS tested prototype Elite Carbon boots on about 20 people in the spring when we still had access to snow and the reviewers came back gushing about these new boots. The Elite Carbon Skate (ECS) is incredibly light, with a stiffened ankle cuff and lacing system that locks things down so much that it is possible to overtighten them. When lacing this boot, take care not to crank too hard, as the lacing system is so powerful it is easy to overdo it and cut off circulation.
