In general, consumers leave positive feedback about the brand. Lightness, comfort and high quality of shoes, the ability to ensure reliable fixation of the ankle. However, some model Alpina PRO seems too tough. The size declared on the site did not fit the others. Therefore, you should definitely try on shoes before buying. Due to the individual characteristics of the structure of the foot shoes may be required for a size larger.

There are other requirements for ski boots, so their structure differs significantly from others. Unfortunately, at the moment Alpina has moved away from the production of these shoes, and in the alpindustry, the brand is found only among ski masks, helmets and goggles. Previously released models Bemil and Alpha have conflicting reviews.

For those who do not part with their skis even in summer, Alpina offers reliable roller ski boots.

The ESK Summer (for ridge) and ECL Summer (classic) models with NNN system mounts are great for racing. They are distinguished by a high degree of comfort and good ventilation through the use of modern materials.

To provide extra warmth to the feet, prevent snow blocking and extend the life of the boots, it is recommended to use covers. Alpina produces stylish fleece-lined neoprene covers, which, thanks to the elasticity and the heel loop, are easy to put on and take off. Suitable for any Alpina ski boots.
