Alpine, Alpine Touring, and Telemark Ski Boots |

We strongly urge that you consult with us about the correct sizing and proper fitting of Tele / A.T. boots (phone number, and e-mail address available on contact page, which can be accessed via our home page). With that said, unlike the Garmont boots of the somewhat distant past (Gara, Veloce, etc.) that ran a half size small, the entire line of current Garmont boots fit true to size—i.e., if your feet measure 27-cm. in length, you will most likely find that a size 27.0 Garmont Telemark or Alpine Touring boot will be the best fit (assuming that there’s no “width issue”). Note: an easy way to get an accurate idea of your foot length (measure both) is to place the foot in an empty shoe-box, and with the heel touching at one end, place a pencil mark just below whatever sticks out the furthest (be accurate, 1/8” is a half size). Once the marks are measured in centimeters from the end of the shoe-box, you’ll have a pretty good idea of what size is most appropriate for your specific feet. If you’re forced to measure with a ruler, convert the result to a decimal and multiply times 2.54 (I think). Also, we should think of the boot liner as a sock, the foot and it should generally be the same length. One easy way to check this is to remove the liner from the shell, then remove the insole from the liner, and with the insole properly cantered beneath your foot while standing on a hard floor, your foot should ideally be no more than 1/8” longer than the insole. But…then…there’s “funky feet.” Please call. |
Alpine Boots |

The innovative Hawx 120 is a unique Alpine performance boot that promotes natural forefoot flexibility and therefore improves balance and ski control. The i-Flex zone of the Hawx 120 works like an additional joint: it provides the forefoot and toes with firm support and can flex downward slightly in turns, thereby maintaining the natural position of the toes at all times. This makes the skier even more sensitive to feedback from the ski, allowing the ski to be controlled with even less effort. The ultra-hard Flex 120 and ASY Elite liner transfer every ounce of power directly to the ski. Four lightweight Edge 7000 Magnesium buckles and an extra-wide strap provide superb support. The Hawx 120 is ideal for high-performance-driven skiers who like to combine perfect power transmission with optimum control in all situations. Yes, this is a men’s Alpine boot that is actually designed for human feet, and has the following additional features:

Atomic Hawx 90 W: An innovative I-Flex zone allows the Hawx 90 W to constantly respond to the skier’s foot, insuring a perfect fit and precise traction at all times. The i-Flex zone works like an additional joint, providing the forefoot and toes with firm support and the ability to flex downward slightly in turns, thereby maintaining the natural position of the toes through every stage of a turn. The result is even more sensitivity to feedback from the ski, allowing the ski to be controlled with less effort. Thanks to a moderate flex and ASY Sport liner, the Hawx 90 W combines comfort with excellent power transmission. The adjustable boot cuff, four lightweight Edge 7000 buckles and a wide strap provide superb support. The Hawx 90 W is the ideal boot for sporty skiers looking for consistently perfect wear comfort.

The Mystic does it all, supplied with either an ISO Alpine sole for Downhill binding compatibility, or the Uni / Tech sole for full compatibility with all Alpine Touring bindings. The Mystic’s high overlap distributes tibia pressure over a large area for a firm, progressive flex. The anatomical last has “pre-punched” areas for the most sensitive parts of a skier’s foot. The double-injected cuff is super stiff laterally and rearward, while wrapping intimately around the lower leg for the quickest response. The Mystic uses the new EZFit liner that’s stiff and supportive, fully lined, and fits great right out of the box, or can be thermoformed for a further customizable fit. And, the cuff and shell close with lightweight, strong, elegant new Magnesium FR buckles. Yes, this is a “performance” boot for Freeride skiers who know very well how to communicate with their skis, and have no second thoughts about adjusting to comfortable, painless performance boots. The Mystic has the following additional features:

Blessed with ultra lightweight, great touring flexibility, and outstanding downhill capabilities, the Zzero 4 U-TF is the ideal performance boot that does everything very well, at a price much less then the crowd of heavier, technically less sophisticated choices available. The Zzero 4 also benefits from super-lightweight, thermo-formable liners that adapt to an individual’s foot for a more custom fit (Note: TF liner varies cosmetically from liner pictured). Although designed to be used with Dynafit bindings (see Binding section), the Zzero 4 is, also, universally compatible with other Alpine Touring bindings. The zZero 4 U-TF has the following features:

This is the women’s version of the Zzero 4 U-TF (see above). Not just a scaled down version of the guy’s boot, the women’s Zzero 4 shell and liner are designed to the specific ergonomic / biomechanical requirements of Downhill oriented women who expect top performance on the descent, but also want to tour quickly and in comfort on extended tours into the mountains. Of coarse, the women’s version of the Zzero 4 U-TF also benefits from super-lightweight, thermo-formable liners that adapt to an individual’s foot for a more custom fit, and an overall lightness that pays real dividends on long backcountry ascents. Although designed to be used with Dynafit bindings (see Binding section), the women’s version of the ZZero 4 is, also, universally compatible with other Alpine Touring bindings.

Blessed with an unprecedented four individual injections of Pebax that provide the lateral and torsional stiffness of an Alpine boot, the Voodoo Freeride Tele boots are magically light, and exhibit the smooth, progressive flex and comfort for which Garmont is widely acclaimed.
