With carbon-fiber reinforcements, interchangeable soles, magnesium buckles, and a G-Fit 3 lace-up liner, the Garmont Endorphin Alpine Touring Boot offer unparalleled performance and strength. Powerful enough to drive the biggest planks in the gnarliest conditions, and still light and comfortable enough for day tours, the Endorphin nails high performance versatility like no other ski boot. The thermo-moldable G-fit 3 liner provides support and customized comfort. The liner's lace-up system locks your heel down for an optimal, secure fit within the shell. The multi-injected cuff and carbon fiber-reinforced shell maintain structure and stiffness no matter how hard you charge. This provides quick and precise power transmission throughout the boot. Magnesium buckles keep the Endorphin Boot lightweight while the two lower buckles' Icebreaker pins destroy ice that accumulates during long tours. Choose between alpine or AT skiing for the day with the interchangeable soles—one Vibram AT sole and one standard ISO alpine sole.
Bottom Line: The Garmont Endorphin Alpine Touring Boot leaves you with no excuse to stay in bounds.
a boot that rocks the resort as well as the backcountry. Stiff and comfy. Walk mode is easy and useful even at the resort. Love the vibram like soles even use them in my alpine bindings (some say switch to the provided iso alpine soles). Uphill comfort is excellent (when using laces) paired with the Naxo 21's. Price is ugly but its my only boot now. Get them fitted at your local ski shop and boy howdy are they comfy. Great AT setup! They will drive any ski.
Great boots, but the rivet at the ankle is under-engineered and breaks. If you can afford $800 a year for boots these are great.
Size 12 fits a 29.5 well for me as well.
OK with 50+ days on 'em the liner is packed out. I had them re-fitted that helped. Also once last season and once this season I have blown out the inside rivet holding bottom of shell to upper shell. Not sure if it was the same boot or not, also not sure if skiing in walk mode on rare occasions causes this rivet to weaken. Sorry but sometimes I F*&^ up and forget to put 'em back in ski mode, but only a few turns before you realize your error. Still a beefy, comfy boot and a nice option for the one boot quiver. Just a couple of concerns of mine to be aware of and curious if others expierence these symtoms. I still recommend them if your in the market for a stiff AT boot.
