Old 3-pin leather boots for my wife.

[toastybroski]

Anyone have any old 3pin leather boots either size 8 mens or 10 womens? Trying to get my wife out on my hoks. It's how I am going to get her addicted to the backcountry...

I might... I have a few pairs. Just lace-up or lace-up with a buckle or two?

Whatever is most comfortable for someone who complains about ski boots? It won't be any real downhill mostly just XC use. A buckle would be nice if there is no shell.

Classic Asolo Snowfield II
Women's US size 8.5
Holes are like new
A solid 8/10 in condition, fabric parts are fine, leather is good to go, worst of it in the pics
$40 shipped within US

If OP doesn't want those, count me in!

Those looks great, I think they will be too small though. She is a US women's 10 or mens 8.

Oh crap - misread that...

@milestogo - they are yours, so PM me the details

@toastybroski - I think I still have something... be right back

[JET123]

@toastybroski -- sorry, but the other options are not the right size.

[toastybroski]

No problem, I appreciate you looking!

I just ordered some brand new Alico doubles on ebay. There were quite a few Asolo leathers on there and probably some options in the size you are looking for. Including these brand new Alicos shipped from the UK for $80ish USD. (he is also selling the Alico double for $200ish USD shipped, which is what I ordered) He got shipping under way quickly, should be here by the end of the month.

Let me know if you’re interested in some men’s 8.5 Asoló Extreme lace-ups. Good shape.

You might want to consider a light plastic boot like an Excursion or T4. She will be warmer and have more control.

That would be perfect, how much are you thinking?

Asolo Extremes were some of the most uncomfortable leather boots I had.

Snowfields would pair better with Hoks but I use T3s without the spoiler and strap. Great combo for warmth, comfort and support. I think Nils at Altai would agree based on our conversation. Extremes are going to be blister machines tromping around in the woods.

If you’ll donate $60 to your local animal rescue/shelter, I’ll ship them to you.

FWIW, I found the Extremes to be very comfortable.

They’re okay on the descent I guess but they aren’t as nice tromping around as Snowfields. I’m not trying to sabotage your sale, just replying because op wants his wife to get into the bc. I still think for what he’s asking to do with his wife a two buckle plastic boot paired with the Hoks is a winner.

^ Whatever, I’m not getting any $$ out of this. Do you have some plastic boots in her size for the OP?

Nope, I’m actually trying to find some used two buckle plastic 75mm for my partner. Woman’s 8

Unicorn is making me think buckle may be better.

Excursions are great, wish I still had mine. Have heard T4s are quite a bit stiffer but haven't used them. If you go plastic, I would encourage the Excursions.

Leather has a special place in my heart though, and so comfy once broken in. Which is why I'm going to be jumping on the wayback machine with leathers and practically new Kazamas and voile 3 pin CRBs for mellower trips with the dog. Breaking in brand new stiff leathers can be an arduous process though, used is better on that front. Good on ya Meadow Skipper for the boots and the donation option.

I believe I have some scarpa t3 woman’s in size 8. I’ll pass on for shipping to appease the snow gods. I’ll check tonight and pm tomorrow. Cheers to 36” in New Hampshire.

The boots I have are scarpa t2 woman’s 8. They are 3 buckle. Barely used by my kids.

Sorry I haven't replied. My wife had to have surgery last minute so I have been busy. I'll get back to everyone this weekend.
