The Gist
The women’s top of the line Alltrack Pro has gained a reputation as the perennial best-looking boot of the test and its pale Ice Blue hue still wins over our test team. They said that while it has a hike mode, it looks, feels and skis like a full-on Alpine boot, with no power or quickness demerits. The fuzzy liner eases entry and exit, but testers also said it belies the beast within—this is an expert’s boot that still welcomes intermediates. The solid and damp Dual Core polyurethane shell mates with a lighter, snappier Dual Core polyolefin cuff to marry power and agility seamlessly.
The Fit
Our test team says the Alltrack Pro 110 W fits like a glove—a medium-width one. No bothersome hotspots, no pinch points, a calf fit that suits average bodies and a flex feel that's cushioned enough and progressive. They love the charcoal fur liner (faux chinchilla, no?), even if it's a little over the top, and they say the boot's a dream to get on and off.
Performance
From relaxed cruisers to hard-charging ex-racers, every woman likes the turns they lay down when they're wearing the Alltrack Pro 110 W. They say turn initiation is automatic, deep carves are stable at speed and off-piste carnage is tamed with ease. Some say the cushioned, fuzzy liner might rob the boot from a little quickness, but a happy trade for most. Very few testers have much good to say about the hike mode range of motion when the cuff is released, but they do appreciate that this boot doesn't ski like a boot with a hike mode. They say look at the cosmetics to know the difference—this is a real boot with a bar mode, not a hike mode.
Cool Features
The Thinsulate Platinum liner is warm as well as fuzzy, which testers liked. The alpine boot soles can be swapped for GripWalk as an aftermarket purchase ($50), which will improve walkabouts and require a GripWalk compatible binding—or they could hit the skin track with an A.T. frame binding.
