Another alternative in the BC game is always welcome. Having the backland and F1 to complete against the TLT6 will hopefully lead to the end of $1000 ski boots

The smooth, powerful flex that is strong enough to power a powder ski of any width with the feel of a light trail running shoe on the way up... That is my ideal bc ski boot. Of course, like dcpnz mentioned, the different last is amazing for a lot of feet. Spent 24 hours touring in this boot out of the box, with nothing more than a small heel blister. Best fitting boot I have ever been in, but of course with other feet, results may vary.... Still using the original version as there is no issue with stiffer skis, as well as the Dynafit Speed Superlight has no adjustment for different BSL.

Doesn't look like it's going to be distributed in NA by scarpa ? Absent from the us website whereas it's there on the Italian site. Too bad.

Fit is similar to Maestrale? Please let it be so.

I'm pretty sure the plastic alien is waaaayyyy softer than the F1 Evo Manual.
I'd also be interested, but wish that they had a single throw cuff and lean lock rather than two separate.
If only Sportiva hadn't gone wider on their last this year, the spitfire might be the ticket.

Bean, I have alien 1.0's and TLT5p. Never ski tlts with tongue either but they're still a noticeably better "ski" boot with a ski of any substance. Aliens for me at least are a skinny rando ski only boot. It's not that they're not stiff enough cos they are but there's so much more that makes a good touring boot for me. The alien 1.0 is also so dang open to snow intrusion that its ridiculous in fresh snow and the stupid plastic wrap crap scarpa put on the other version noticeably kills the freedom of movement. All makes something like f1 evo a better touring boot IMHO.

The manual one pictured in this thread appears to have less forward lean compared to the 14/15

Ha, it looks like someone found a use for the old returned stock. That'd be nice if they found a way to use those... Black diamond, they are a different fit compared to the Maestrales. I just can not make the Maestrales work. 28 is swimming on my feet, while the 28 F1 is perfect. 27 Maestrales, would be just too much work to make them fit

Any more real world input on the F1's? I currently ski the 2014/15 Green TLT6P with the tongues and am happy with their skiing performance but would like to avoid the tongue fiddle-factor. I do not like skiing the TLT6P without the tongues. The F1's fit great. Just curious how well and stiff they ski for skis in the 105 and 116mm underfoot size... Thanks!

Been skiing the F1s on Salomon Mtn88s (soft), Blizzard ZeroG 95 (stiff), On3P Steeple 98s (moderate), Blizzard ZeroG 108 (stiff). Nothing bigger
Still the best of the sub 1300g touring boots that I have tried for skiing performance imo. Moderately stiff but progressive stiffness without the sudden ramp in stiffness and total lack of progression found in most light boots. I'm comparing to TLT5P & Arcteryx Procline

In this class I'd still prefer lack of progression and stiff over progressive and moderately stiff. I haven't skied the F1s though and probably never will. Pretty much impossible to get them to fit me. The heel pocket is gnarly deep and the lowers close on the front of my ankle way too early (shell only pretty much touches the front of my cankles).

The Backland with ProTour liners is definitely a good step above. And its actually noticeably more progressive than stock form - I think because you can get more leverage over the boot with the taller, stiffer liner. I had to cook it strategically for it to work though. Cook shell and stock liners. Then cook ProTours in a higher volume shell. Then cook ProTours in the Backland. Then cook the shell again.

Ah thanks. I skied the Backland with the stock liner that's a bit short like you said and it didn't strike me as particularly stiff. Will grab a pair to try
