TX COMP (NOUVEAU)

This is the boot we have all been dreaming of. Stiff, powerful, light and walks like a dream. The bellows match the stiffness of the cuff like peanut butter and jelly. This boot will drive the biggest of skis, let you drop as big of cliffs as you can muster and go literally wherever you can dream up. Warm, comfortable and oozing with performance.

First and foremost, I think the Scarpa TX Comp is the best tele boot out there right now. The fit is slightly improved over the last iteration, although the length is a bit shorter so sizing up might be required.

However, I feel like the new TX Comp should just be the TX Pro, and the Comp should be a much heavier, resort-focused boot like the old Comp was. The TX Pro is fine for light backcountry use, but it gets overpowered easily in the resort. The Comp tours basically the same as the Pro, but skis better and is an acceptable inbounds boot.

They are a little stiff out of the box, but after you break them in a bit, they are superb. I love going back to the three-buckle!

I like the TX Pro for backcountry, but the Comps drive hard in-bounds. If I had to choose only one, it would be the Comps.

Please keep making the best telemark boots in the world! The waiting is the hardest part.

This is a piggyback off a previous review I submitted. I am so disappointed that Scarpa changed the fit on these. My previous generation Comps fit great. These new Comps had the potential to be an absolutely perfect boot for me - a stiff but lighter boot with tons of range of motion and tech toes. I ordered the same size 25 I wore in the old ones, had them heat molded with double toe caps to make some extra space and I still got my toes crushed in them. They feel like a full size smaller than my old ones. Walking abck to the car st the end of the day was painful and my toes felt it for about a week before turning dark purple. So I go ahead and purchase an additional pair in a 25.5. I dont get them heat molded and go ahead and ski them. They feel sloppy on day 1. So I know they're only going to get more roomy. So now my options are to ski a boot that kills my feet and causes me to lose toenails or maybe spend more money on thicker liners to fill the space on the other pair.

Consider sizing up.

I bought these to replace my previous model TX Comp. I ordered them based on hearing from a number of sources that the fit was the same as the old boots. Both are a size 25 but these shell fit probably 3-5 mm smaller. I haven't broken them in fully yet but right when I put them on, my toes feel like they are curled and fully touching the end of the boots. I have limited time in them but they ski well and feel more precise. The flex currently feels about the same as my old Comps. I like the new strap and the buckles are easier to work with. Time will tell if I should have ordered a size up.
