Scarpa T-Race Telemark Ski Boot

Setting the standard by which all other boots will be judged… there is no other 75mm telemark boot this powerful.

Setting the standard by which all other boots will be judged, the Scarpa T-Race telemark ski boot is the most powerful 75mm telemark boot on the market. The T-Race is equipped with an Intuition Speed liner designed for maximum power, along with a fixed PowerBlock forward lean mechanism that provides unmatched responsiveness on the trail. As a result, you'll be able to handle the toughest snowscapes. The boot also includes four easy-lock buckles and a burly overlap cuff, helping you drive any ski at maximum speed. And users will love the liner's overlap construction and 100-percent high-density Ultralon foam, which are built to provide maximum comfort.

The T-Race also includes an ergonomic bellow, which supports a more natural flex during the knee-bending phase. This advanced feature projects the skier's center of gravity toward the inside of the turn, translating into greater precision while you change edges and reducing the risk of ski crossover. Other features include a lateral cant adjustment that helps you control edges even better; an instep buckle that provides superior heel lock for better uphill and downhill performance; a dual-density torsion frame for maximum lateral stability; and a zero-rocker sole profile that provides immediate edge initiation. Made of 100-percent Pebax--the key to combining light weight with maximum power--the T-Race telemarking boots carry a one-year warranty.

About Scarpa
Founded in the Montebelluna region of northern Italy--an area long known for its quality handcrafted footwear--Scarpa's original mission was to bring together all the best shoemakers in the Asolo area and produce the best footwear anywhere. The family-owned enterprise evolved through the years from a traditional footwear manufacturer to one that focused on the needs of northern Italy's rapidly developing mountaineering and climbing culture. Among Scarpa's most innovative products was the popular Rally boot for alpine skiing, along with an early high-altitude plastic boot for mountaineering (known initially as the Grinta, and later the Inverno). The company was also the first to build a Gore-Tex boot and the first to develop a telemark skiing boot. In 2007, Scarpa introduced the first telemark and alpine touring-compatible boot. Still based in Italy, Scarpa maintains its American headquarters in Boulder, Colorado.
