How is the volume on this boot? I have wide feet. Trying to decide between the Alaska and the 1550. Thanks

Had been trying to turn my Madshus Annum skis with the Rossignol BC X6 nnn BC boot - it sucked, and every slight downhill seemed like a near-death experience. I love the manual nnn bc binding system and didn't want to upgrade to a 3-pin or full tele binding. Fast forward to getting the Alpina Alaska boot - these things are awesome! Enough power and control to turn in powder. Enough glide to cruise, and they're totally comfortable out of the binding! They're expensive, but I'm having a blast in the sub AT terrain along the Front Range above Boulder now!

I finally upgraded my trusty old Alpina 1560s in early December and what a home run! I love these boots for the same reasons other reviewers have mentioned, warmth, comfort, turnability. Due to a GREAT start to winter in Maine I have been able to ski my Alaskas daily for weeks that will hopefully turn into months. Sizing: my normal size is 11.5 and my Nepal EVOs are 46s and these are too - same sizing with room to try slightly different sock thickness in the medium range. Ideally, you should be required to have a pair of 1560's for 2+ years before you get these so you can truly appreciate them.

Got these for touring rolling terrain that isn't quite steep enough to AT. They're a perfect blend of stiffness and flex - no break-in pain yet, and I can even brute force parallel turns out of my xc skis in soft snow. They are warm. The fit is large, even with a thicker sock. I generally take size 11 s 45 EURO/ 28.5 Mondo and the 44.0 fits perfectly with a medium weight sock.

These boots are super warm and comfy. I used them for a full season last year and I wouldn't recommend any other boot. Make sure you get the correct size.

I used these boots one time and they shredded my feet (blisters on both feet). Returning these fast.
