It really sounds as if you have answered your own question. It seems that the T-3 is performing better for you. There is certainly no need to keep two pair of boots when they both are so similar. I’m glad things are working out for you. Fair answer… I haven’t tested the scarpas as I have the alicos...

Just so you know, I ski my FT X with an Alaska 75 boot. It is quite powerful with the Rotte ST binding with cable. I also have these boots https://www.ebay.com/itm/224356416769?hash=item343caf3d01:g:UJEAAOSwCh1gLk8H They are British size, so if you are a 10 US you are a 9 UK The Alico boot is much ...

Oh my. Garmont Veloce from a long time ago I remember that was equivalent to a Scarpa T2. Basically a medium weight boot for all around, backcountry, uphill downhill. Mine ended up not fitting well, I think I had some bad pressure points.

thanks

I am just getting into more downhill and got a hold of some Veloce. I thought I was getting Excursions (seller wasn't sure but it's written right on the boot??) Anyway... is there a major difference? I was looking for something in the T3/T4 area. Thanks The Garmont Libero was the equivalent model t...

I used to have a pair of Libero... It was like a low cut version of the Veloce (very similar). With a relatively stiff sole, if I remember well. Kind of heavy. Excursion and T4 are more supple and lighter. I've never seen that much good reviews of the Libero. I gave em to a friend. That didn't used...

If you go plastic boots, go with the Voile 3-pin. I would go with the 3-pin Hardwire for plastic, which I have mounted on my 86 mm underfoot ski. However, the Switchback could be considered as well. Perhaps a free pivoting binding would be beneficial when climbing. Now if you want to ski in leather...

I don’t know those skis in particular, or those boots as well. I believe that would make a suitable kit for the resort. Probably really good for learning and having fun riding lifts. Those three buckle boots would probably be just fine or maybe very good if you were mostly going uphill to go downhi...

Interesting posts. This is the ultimate subject for all skiers - although of course no one ever ends up with just one system.. :D Just chipping in my 5 cents (… or in fact 300 dollars) - stay away from the Fischer Transnordic 75s. Me and others had terrible issues due to an inherent design flaw whi...
