To the top...

Here are most, if not all of Scarpa's boots. This is for fall 2008, but a rep at Scarpa has assured me this has not changed for this year.

For the fuckin' WIN!

Lange Banshee 27/27.5
BSL: 317

**Gripen** · 12-19-2009, 12:02 AM

Tecnica Diablo Race Pro- 24.5 284bsl

**DeepHelmet** · 12-19-2009, 12:21 AM

Salomon Falcon 10 28.5 = 326

**Bandito** · 12-20-2009, 08:58 PM

Tecnica Race Pro- 24.5 @ 285 bsl (06 model)
Tecnica Race Pro- 25.5 @ 294 bsl (06 model)
Dalbello Krypton Pro- 24.5 @ 286 bsl (06 model)
Nordica The Beast- 26.5 @ 305 bsl (05 model)
Raichle rtx2-28.5 @ 315 bsl (so eighties/rear entry)

Note that Gripen listed his Race Pros at 284 bsl, could it be that his shells are this year's model? Also, I currently rock the 24.5 shells and noticed that Krypton Pros (286 bsl) are shorter than Race Pros (285 bsl). What gives?

NOTE: About half of the stamped BSL lengths on boot heels are actually wrong (usually by only a few mm's). Don't trust what the manufacturer has listed. Physically measure your boot to be sure!

Garmont Shaman size 8 UK (27.5) = 317mm

Incidentally, the Shaman's have been stamped as Flex 110 and then re-stamped as 130 even though their website lists the flex as 120

Rossignol Zenith Sensor3 110

26.5 = 310 mm

**Mazderati** · 01-10-2010, 03:25 PM

Nordica
Beast 10 (2009 model, last year produced) - Mondo 30.5, BSL 345mm, Last 101mm, Flex 80

Notes: I liked this boot a lot and probably would have kept it in a 29.5 if the flex rating were stiffer. Nordica boot sole length chart for 2008/2009 model boots: http://www.nordicaracing.com/assets/...th%2008-09.pdf

Rossignol
Zenith Sensor3 100 (2009 model) - Mondo 29.5, BSL 340mm, Last 100mm, Flex 100
SAS Sensor3 110 (2009 model) - Mondo 29.5, BSL 340mm, Last 100mm, Flex 110
Bandit B-Squad Sensor3 (2009 model) - Mondo 29.5, BSL 340mm, Last 100mm, Flex 110

Notes: It looks like the Sensor3 boots are built around the same lower shell with the difference between the three boots being in the cuffs, liner, padding, and spoiler. I like these boots but they have a pretty small toe box. I believe Rossignol has these buckles listed as being made from magnesium on its website. The buckles look more like cast aluminum to me.

Head
S110 (2009 model) - Mondo 29.5, BSL 337mm, Last 103mm, Flex 110

Notes: The lower shell of the S110 is made to accommodate a last plate that reduces forefoot width from 103mm to 100mm. The same plate can be cut and shaped to customize the fit for your foot. Unfortunately, some of the boots didn't come with this plate and Head doesn't sell them independently. However, the Head 103mm last seems to be just as tight on my own foot as the Nordica 101mm last. The S11 and S110 are very similar boots.

Dalbello Surge 27/27.5 - 318mm
Atomic m110 26/26.5 - 307mm

**PoisonLab** · 01-16-2010, 01:41 AM

And to throw some little feet into the mix:

'04 Head WC 23.5 = 271mm
'05 Tecnica Diablo Magnesium 23.5 = 274mm
'07 Salomon Course X2 Lab plug 23.5 = 275mm
'09 Tecnica Diablo Attiva Pro 22.5 = 268mm
'10 Salomon Poison 23.5 = 274mm

And the roommates' gear just for comparison's sake:

'08 Salomon Scarlet 24.5 = 285mm
'09 Tecnica Attiva Pro 23.5 = 277mm
'09 Tecnica Attiva Pro 24.5 = 285mm
'10 Nordica HR Pro 115 24.5 = 290mm

Not that if affects many here, and I hate to ruin the formulas, but sometimes they fail at the extremes of the spectrum. Check it:

Unfortunately for us but fortunately for informational purposes, between the three of us, we once had three diff. shell sizes of the same Tecnica (Diablo Attiva Pro the Terrible). From that you can see that the size/BSL ratio isn't straight (22.5/268mm-->23.5/277mm-->24.5/285mm).

**blockhead** · 01-25-2010, 08:06 AM

27.5 Lange Concept 95 - BSL= 319mm

28.5 Salomon XWave 880 - BSL= 325mm

**Ripzalot** · 01-29-2010, 06:29 AM

EDIT: nevermind, found this:

**mfkracing** · 11-12-2010, 10:20 AM

11 Tecnica Agent 120's 28.0 320mm

Too bad they sent me the wrong size. They sure look sweet though.

FYI they are a completely different shell from the previous years models.

Mine are stamped 130, but like you said the website begs to differ. Whatever.
