The NEW Alpina roller ski boots are a great addition to everyones summer training. The boot combines the features of Alpina's high end TCS Skate boot, but with a highly breathable mesh fabric for ventilation. The boot is only NNN compatible. Alpina Rollerski Boots Receive Rave Review by Laura Valaas, USST/APU There's nothing like finishing a 2hr rollerski and taking your boots off to find that your feet have been pickled in a brine-y pool of your own sweat. The folks at Alpina, bless their souls, have come up with a solution to the summer time trials of suffocating ski boots: rollerski boots. These boots (both skate & classic) are a ventilated version of the Alpina racing boots. They have a low cut in the classic boot to expose the ankle to the wind and a mesh upper on the foot box so even the little pinky toes can breathe. Alpina Sports' Nordic Team Director, Dorcas WonSavage described some of the construction of the Rollerski boots, "Alpina has utilized new materials and construction techniques that are now available, in making the RRS and the RRC. First, because of the effect of taking away so much material from the winter boot meant some of the structural components needed to be changed. Second, as a way to test the new materials and techniques in Alpina's on-going evolution towards the perfect nordic skate and classic boot." The RRS rollerski skate boot, and the RRC rollerski classic boot will be available only at key Alpina Sport retailers in Summer, 2008. |
