TX PRO WOMEN'S

I wanted to love this boot, and I still want to love this boot after two seasons with them. Unlike most other reviewers, I slipped into these after using my beloved Crispi NTN Evos for years. I found the sizing to be spot-on as someone with a narrow, low volume foot. They are light, and they walk like a dream. For me, something is off between the ankle flex and the bellows that keeps the boots too upright. I can't get low enough in my stance, even with the forward lean set to maximum. I bottom out the bellows and ankle way before I feel stable and powerful. I still ski patrol in these boots one or two days per week and enjoy myself with one of two departures to the intended use. If the snow is variable and foresee a lot of parallelamark skiing, I will lock them into ski mode but leave the top buckle open and the power strap loose. If it's a pow day or the snow is uniformly supportable, I buckle the top buckle and tighten the power strap but leave the boots in walk mode. I think the perfect solution would be to mount my Phantom Link Levers from my splitboard boots onto the Scarpa TX Pros. Perhaps someday I'll put four hours into that project and report back. Maybe I'm crazy, but these being telemark boots, they're produced exclusively for people with a few screws loose.

These boots are a real upgrade from my prior NTN "Magenta" colored boots. The middle buckle is much easier. The booster strap hook style is also much better than the velcro one. The boot was initially much roomier; but heat molding the liner helped with that. The boots easily fit into my Lynx & Outlaw bindings. The boot is stiffer with less ankle flexion than my old boot. They are mostly broken in now, so this is less of an issue; but I still need to use more pressure & consequently, the force is not immediately delivered to the ski resulting in a slight delay in the turn. But, I can see how this stiffer boot could be helpful in getting higher edge angles. It's just taking more time to get there for me. I'm a lightweight, small frame person, so that might have something to do with it. I do recommend this boot. It's comfortable. I'm in it all day patrolling & ski instructing. It is guiding me to change perhaps the way I used to ski & maybe that's for the better.

Upgraded my 8 year old TX Pros to the new model. Glad I did. I was very happy with the fit and feel of the old TX Pros. They were the most comfortable boot I had ever owned. The fit of the new TX Pro is very similar to the old TX Pro, they fit closer to the foot which made me doubt if I made the right choice. Out of the box fit was tight, but I had a 1.5 finger shell fit so all indication was the size was correct. After a few runs they began to feel very comfortable and warm. They need a few more days to break in but I believe they will be my new favorite boot. The boots do require a few turns to get acquainted with. I was skiing like I did on the old Pros by mid day. They are quicker to react to input and get the ski on edge. Made tight zipper line turns down less than ideal moguls with ease.

It took me a long time to make this purchase. Been Looking at these boots since they were introduced. Whish I would have made the purchase sooner.
