Scarpa F1 LT Boots Black Orange - 30
The F1 LT from Scarpa inherits the ascent DNA of the Alien RS: very light (990 grams per shoe), incredible shaft rotation (72 degrees), and a sporty fit (100 millimeter last). However, Scarpa has managed to elevate the downhill performance of a lightweight shoe to the next level with the F1 LT. This is made possible by the 3D-Lambda frame – a kind of skeleton on the shell and shaft – and the Carbon Grilamid LFT material. Both features increase flex and torsional stiffness while reducing shell thickness, resulting in greater strength and lower weight. The progressive flex is likely unique in this weight class, ensuring precise ski control. The Gaiter Shell construction forgoes a fixed tongue and is instead equipped with waterproof Lite Shield Tech fabric, effectively preventing snow ingress. At the same time, the Boa Fit System over the foot, a single Fast Buckle Closure strap at the leg, and the Velcro Power Strap above provide excellent support and guarantee even pressure distribution – without pressure points. All three can be quickly, individually, and precisely adjusted. The Speed Lock LT ski-walk mechanism allows you to set three different forward lean positions – efficiently and quickly. This makes the transition between ascent and descent a breeze. The Intuition Tour LT liner ensures a precise yet comfortable fit. The liner is thermoformable, meaning it can be customized. Even with prolonged use, your feet remain warm and free from pressure points. On the underside of the F1 Lite, the Vibram UFO LT sole offers maximum grip and sensitivity on rock while featuring large, self-cleaning grooves. The right shoe for demanding uphill and downhill conditions.

I have a recently badly damaged right foot and my F1 light with an older broken liner is the most comfortable and best piece of footwear I own. Sounds like they fit mid range to wider feet as well which sounds impossible it seems to be working.It’s worth noting that in eight years of skiing all iterations of the alien as well as the RS and the F1, I’ve only broken a Boa once. And it wasn’t a big deal to ski or replace.If the game is about building the boot with the best tour-ability, combined with the highest downhill performance for the least amount of weight, this boot wins the whole game hands-down.

I was looking for a boot that would be just as comfortable training for skimo races, actually racing, and doing huge vert days across different pairs of skis, from my 65mm race skis to my 85mm "powder skis."After a few hundred miles in these boots, I've made the following observations that I hope will be helpful to others looking for something similar:- I've tried on other scarpa alien boots and they felt too narrow to my flat, medium width, low volume feet. The F1 LT by comparison has been a pretty perfect match after spending two weeks making my toenails suffer while breaking the liners in (I prefer to do this instead of heat molding for a more accurate fit). I've been able to do high-tempo 22km+ sessions with lots of climbing without a single fit-related ... MoreI was looking for a boot that would be just as comfortable training for skimo races, actually racing, and doing huge vert days across different pairs of skis, from my 65mm race skis to my 85mm "powder skis."After a few hundred miles in these boots, I've made the following observations that I hope will be helpful to others looking for something similar:- I've tried on other scarpa alien boots and they felt too narrow to my flat, medium width, low volume feet.

I've been able to do high-tempo 22km+ sessions with lots of climbing without a single fit-related issue.- These boots are an awesome pairing with race skis. Their incredible weight-to-stiffness ratio means you pay little penalty for the extra control and precision gained when driving your skis & I've noticed they've allowed me to feel extra confidence at speed.- I removed all the extras, ie., the top cuff and forward lean velcro adjustment piece. However, even in this config, you still have to do two steps during transition instead of one if you had true race boots. This can be pretty annoying sometimes, especially when you're exposed on a ridgeline somewhere and just wanted to get into ski mode ASAP. I think it's the main factor to consider if you're trying to decide between these and something more simple and speed-oriented like the Alien or a Dynafit model like the Mezzalama.But at the same time, you do get a really fine adjustment with the cuff that helps you account for differences every time you buckle in - perhaps slightly thicker socks, less swelling in colder temps, etc. In truth, this two-step transition doesn't take much effort once you're fairly dialed in with the settings you usually prefer.- Compared to something like the dynafit PDG 2, I can definitely feel the added ROM friction in these boots compared to true race boots. So, keep in mind that for the added skiability these boots give you, there's some tradeoff in their fluency for high-tempo skinning. They won't hold you back in training, but if you're getting to a high level and are on similar fitness with others, they might be a limitation if the rest of the field is wearing buttery smooth / friction-free boots with nearly non-existent liners.All in all, these boots are everything I was hoping for and are excellent for racking up volume and going on big adventures. For how light they are, they feel incredibly sturdy and likely to last for a very long time, making them an excellent value IMO.

Roughly 150 days in these boots, they ski extremely well IMO, quite stiff but once you're used to it they're great. Extremely comfortable as well, I use them for shoveling the driveway, ice climbing, and even driving to the trailhead if I'm running late. Durability is where problems arose for me, over the past month in them the finger strap ripped off/velcro failed, boa system snapped and the ski/walk mechanism literally sheared off while side-stepping. Luckily all these things happened in chill areas but if any had happened mid-line it could've been catastrophic. The liners are also pretty blown out, some extra play has developed in the cuff pivot, and the shell is cracking inside near the boa connect points. Amazing boot overall but depending on how Scarpa deals ... MoreRoughly 150 days in these boots, they ski extremely well IMO, quite stiff but once you're used to it they're great.

This boot is sick, if your foot fits in it. I know, I know, that's how ski boots work, but let me explain:Of course it walks well, no surprise there. Great ROM, easy stride, light weight, climbs great! I know some folks feel like the upper power strap/cam lever mechanism doesn't have enough throw for smooth walking without additionally loosening it. I didn't find this to be the case at all. I set it to a comfortable pressure for the down, and then opened it, and had plenty of ROM. That said, I have less ankle ROM than others.I found transitions were fast and smooth, once I figured out the correct pressure from the calf strap. I ended up removing the upper velcro strap, it didn't do anything for me.I skied much bigger skis than Scarpa recommends for this boot, ... MoreThis boot is sick, if your foot fits in it.

That said, I have less ankle ROM than others.I found transitions were fast and smooth, once I figured out the correct pressure from the calf strap. I ended up removing the upper velcro strap, it didn't do anything for me.I skied much bigger skis than Scarpa recommends for this boot, including a 10K+ day in variable snow on a 184 cm, 112 mm wide ski. No, I wouldn't ski big skis and jump off stuff regularly in this boot, but with some finesse it drives bigger skis just fine.Ultimately, my high volume, super tall foot meant that I just couldn't stay comfortable in this boot for bigger days, but my foot is a big outlier, and doesn't fit well in most boots, so if you're closer to the center of the bell curve, you'll probably be well served!
In the first week, the stitching in the main strap came undone. Skimoco was awesome and responsive, but it was easier to have it sewn locally. Otherwise durability has been fine. I have never been able to get the fit right: I have a low instep, skinny heels, and a long narrow foot, and I couldn't ever get the lower shell to feel secure. Fine on perfect groomers. Added all manner of insoles and padding, but the boa has always felt a few clicks too loose when maxed. My ankles/shins felt like they were moving around in a way I didn't like. The next size down was too short, but I should have shopped around more.
Used this boot pretty much the entire 2021-22 season - from midwinter conditions to spring volcanoes.While it probably wasn't its intended usage, I don't think this boot struggled to drive a 1550g ski (98mm 172cm length on size 25.0). Wearing them felt super light, so I really noticed the energy expenditure saved on long and sloggy bootpacks.Some cons are that it's a little cramped in the toe box (for me), and that the boa enclosure wraps over the forefoot (I would rather like it to clamp the ankle). A commenter asked a question about the boot rubbing the inner ankle bone and that was definitely the case for my left one, but it became less of an issue with more usage. The transitions are quick, but I do notice myself having to readjust the top strap (not the ... MoreUsed this boot pretty much the entire 2021-22 season - from midwinter conditions to spring volcanoes.While it probably wasn't its intended usage, I don't think this boot struggled to drive a 1550g ski (98mm 172cm length on size 25.0).

I'd be curious to finally drive it on lighter skis like the Blizzard Zero G's next season and see how durability continues to hold up.
After 2 seasons of exclusively using this boot (approximately 150 days) on a 96mm powder ski and 86mm corn ski I'm extremely impressed. The durability is insane, they basically ski like they did right out of the box. I developed an ankle bunion and they were super easy to punch out. I've climbed a bunch of ice and rock in them and I can't image ever going back to a heavier boot. The mobility and light weight are amazing for boot packing also. Stoked for more turns in these!
I live in Alaska and this boot has become my daily driver for touring. The boot is pretty warm and has great heat moldable line but when it gets below 10 degr. F I put toe warmers in the boot. I have probably 40 touring days in this boot this year. The boot is very well made and has held up to significant touring abuse. It accepts a crampon nicely. The flex in the boot is amazing and you could almost feel comfortable driving a car in this boot but probably not recommended. The boa system is easily adjusted for proper retention and is easy to release. The Boa takes some getting use to and its easy to over crank it while skinning up and end up with some instep pain. A good boot fitter can help with some padding and adjustments. I like the fact the boa system is hidden ... MoreI live in Alaska and this boot has become my daily driver for touring.

The sole has little wear after plenty of hiking over rocky summits. If you are looking for a very lightweight but durable touring boot then you are in the right place. So if the boot fits I would tour it.
