I have the exact same problem as @lilcliffy mentions here, and have made the exact same reflection.

Essentially, the plastic skeleton beam pushes straight into the toe when aggressively pushing the tele stance - irrespective of shoe size or foot shape.
I wonder if the TransNordic upper boot was designed for the XPlore binding system and outer soles, which have their flex point further back than NNN-BC. With different outer soles and bindings, that problem might not be an issue.

Of course, that would still be a good reason to avoid the NNN-BC version of the TransNordic boot, unless Fischer addresses this issue :)

I ordered a 75mm pair on sale (amazon free shipping, free return shipping), assuming they are the 2021 or 2022 versions. Felt like a really comfortable boot until I flexed the sole and the toe reinforcement started stabbing me. The alico double boots I'm experimenting with (trying to find an heat moldable liner and boot size combo for a heat moldable leather tele boot) don't have that issue at all flexing them on my carpet, however I have not skiied on them yet.

I work at a store that sells Fischer products and I think we are getting transnordics for this year (last year was a shit show). Since the 2022 transnordics are on sale and there is a "2023" listing, I'm hoping they fixed thing issue. Should be able to report back on that very soon.

I’ve got the Transnordics in NNN-BC and 75mm (both bought in 2022). The NNN-BC is (for me) incredibly comfortable and supportive. Distances have been a pleasure with this boot (I did a 19 mile day pretty much right out of the box with zero discomfort). I’ve been finding the 75’s to have the toe pinch (just on the left foot) others have mentioned…it’s not bad enough to get rid of them and they’ll likely just be my Hok boot for when my wife and I do our stream bed scrambles.

Pretty sure I’m going to try out the XP’s with the new FT62 in the New Year…hopefully they fit the same as the NNN-BC.

I use my 75s the same way with Voile cable on my 145 Hoks. Sometimes the SB-98s, same binding. And in the near future… Rossi Black Ops Alpineer w/ Rottefella hard wire.

I self thermo-molded mine for a better fit.

I have been curious about those. Is that at Ragged? Haven't been in there in a while. I'll have to go give them a fondle. My thought was they are Fischers answer ro the Alaska.

Is your impression that the Alaska is higher quality/longer lasting? Fischer BC boots fit me perfect but I wish they lasted longer.

I had to pick up some bcx5s last year to replace my 6s that were falling apart and those god forsaken Svartisens that torured my feet. The 5s are fine, really dont seem much (any?) less powerful than the 6s despite the lack of the external cuff.

I'd think the higher cuff of the new TN or Alaska would at least bring a bit more leverage into the equation. Any insight on that idea?
My BCX5s lasted precisely six skis (less than 150k) before the soles started separating. The issue was insufficient/incorrect glue. I fixed them with Gearaid Aquaseal. Got me through the season… maybe a few hundred k.

Sad thing is that the BCX5s were fine in every other way. Good fit, warm, flexible in the areas that needed it.

Off the Rossi boot bus at the moment. BCX5s are my backups (have Alaskas now). Hopefully it’s just a case of getting one of the few pairs of boots that were glued up with the dregs of a bottle left open all weekend.

I’m lucky like that.
We dreamed of riding waves of air, water, snow, and energy for centuries. When the conditions were right, the things we needed to achieve this came into being. Every idea man has ever had up to that point about time and space were changed. And it keeps on changing whenever we dream. Bio mechanical jazz, man.

Krummholz, I was planning on doing a bit of at home thermomolding as described by jalp last winter. I plan on trying them out with the BC120’s when the fire service roads around here get a bit more snow. Not sure how that’s going to be as they’re set up with a Switchback X2…maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Or not.

For K&G I love my Alaska’s over any Fischer, Rossi, lower cost Alpina boot. I use the Transnordic as mainly a “Downhill” boot. I tried the SkiMarch but to me they are painful. Even with trying all kinds of insoles for my high arches. Every once in a while I try the SkiMarch for downhill as a reminder anything else is better.

I was really liking my Transnordics until today when I took off my boots and noticed that the plastic piece on the outside of the right boot was cracked in one place and completely broken where the heel strap connects. I have only use them a few times so its a real bummer. Does anybody know Fischer's warranty policy on stuff like this? I couldnt really notice a difference in the performance but I feel like this shouldn't have happened so quickly. Would putting some epoxy on it fix it?
