Naw, I don'work for ST either ;-]

Actually, they have the titles of the Alico boots backwards. The
buckle boots are the tele boots and the non-buckles are the nordic
boots. I have a pair of the tele boots and after 10+ years of use,
they still perform real nicely. And since they're leather, they're oh
so comfy.

Now the challenge to buying the Alico tele boots is: What ski do you
match to it. Good luck to any buyer!


_ That's not the challenge it might have been a couple years
ago. Since all skis have gotten fatter, you just need to move
over one "class" to get skis that work fine with leather boots.
i.e. what used to be "telemark" is now backcountry, and I have to
say there are some mighty fine BC skis out there. Any of the
Fischer S-Bounds skis would be a nice match for those boots.
Alpina and Atomic also make BC skis that would work well with
those boots.
