One of last year's category favorites returns unchanged to re-claim a spot in the category's top group—and why would you change anything? What does the Alltrack Pro 130 offer that sets it apart from other solid contenders here? Testers say it's this boot's nearly ideal initial fit for a comfort and performance combo that's so hard to beat. Easy going and comfy, yet powerful on edge and ready to go to work—the Alltrack Pro rides the comfort and performance fence better than any other.
As a medium width boot the Pro has a little longer- and wider-than-average fit in the toebox for warmth and some room to spread out but it is tied back into firm and precisely-shaped ankle and heel contours. The liner has a soft and fleecy feel against the foot upon entry, but the liner's construction is solid and closely connected to the interior shell shape. The stance is upright and relaxed, but with a long-enough flex pattern for moving forward against the well-padded tongue to load pressure on the front of the ski. Laterally, angles are neutral for a balanced attack off-piste or on.
Testers do mention still that the boot feels soft in flex when temperatures are warm—colder days make for a solid 130 flex feel. The well-distributed shin fit and progressive flex range is awesome, they said, regardless of the weather. Lateral rigidity remains bankable 24-7 for good edge power, so don't judge this one by its in-the-shop flex, testers say.
