I'm looking for a pair of 3 pin boots. I'd prefer something a little "back country-sh" (ie not low and smooth soled). Any sources or recommendations?
Thanks

Thanks plaid wool. I did not realize that the traditional 3 pin bindings would not fit all 75 mm boots ...thicker sole I assume.
Would you happen to know if the roteffella or Voille 3 pin bindings use the same screw hole placement as an ancient 3 pin binding?

Merlin-
I bought a pair of Alico 75mm boots a couple of winters ago. They aren't cheap but they are nice. You might want to look at some Crispi Antartica's. You will have to use backcountry Rottefella or Voile 3 pins.
Have a good one,
PW

i was online looking for ski poles last night. my son moved back from oklahoma and reclaimed all of his ski gear. now i need poles and they are really expensive.
i ran across these boots alpina , i was suprised they were still making these. i suspect it is leftover, unsold inventory.

Thanks for the replies. Those Alpinas are almost what I'm looking for. There are a lot of used 3 pin "boots" out there, unfortunately, most are low and smooth soled shoes. I plan to use these camping and would like a pair are a little more substantial. I've found a few leather back country boots that look great but are much too expensive for me.

Any ski swaps in your area? Might be able to find a screaming deal, as 75mm 3pins are (nearly) obsolete. What size do you wear? I might be going to the one in Brainerd next weekend and could look for you if you'd like.
