Alpina ESK Skating Boots

Alpina ESK Skating Boots

Alpina’s boots for skate technique (ESK) in Nordic skiing are made for top competitors in Nordic skiing and biathlon, as well as those Nordic skiers who desire the best. They are distinguished by a minimalist design that is applied to the spat of the shoe under which the inner shoe is hidden. The spat covers the surface of the boot completely and ensures water resistance as well as a perfect fit. The inner shoe is distinguished by the new lacing system, high quality materials and a foothold that is designed to the specifics of an individual competitor. This uncompromising boot ensures exceptional stability and a good transfer of power from the foot to the ski, without any loss of energy.

Out-of-the-box thinking sums up their design concept. The Alpina R&D team have been diligently working on this project for well over three years, studying athletic footwear from literally all the sports. They investigated new materials, new techniques of manufacturing and new technologies. Then they focused their energies on combining totally new slip materials, a whole new approach to fit, lacing, and a dynamic new shape to the carbon titanium cuffs.
