Description:
While kicking and gliding is the way you like spending your time, you can't fight off bouts of backcountry-style exploring - so give in with Karhu's XCD Traverse Boot that's ready to support rigorous downhill with a sturdy cuff and Powerstrap. Spend the whole day on the trail with cush 3D-molded midsoles and 200-gram Thinsulate insulation for toe-warming comfort.

Features:

  • Get support and stability from the rubber and Velcro Powerstraps - the added height of the cuff provides additional control both fore and aft for kicking and gliding
  • Keep your feet toasty during long days in the backcountry with 200-gram Thinsulate insulation and a soft felt lining
  • Support your feet with 3D-molded midsoles crafted with injected nylon while an anatomical, 3D-stitched tongue with a firm lower portion keeps your foot in the heel pocket
  • Lace up easily via the extended "fingers" lacing system that fastens from the top of the cuff nearly to the outsole for a close, snug fit
  • Your toes and the lower portions of the boot are protected from ski edges, rocks, and sticks by the durable rubber rands wrapped around the bottom
  • 75 mm Telemark Norm-compatible sole

Specifications:

  • Weight per pair: 3 lb 12 oz
  • Sole type: 75 mm Telemark Norm
  • Upper: rubber
  • Closure: lace and powerstrap
  • Liner: synthetic felt


Specifications based on size 9.

Comments about Karhu XCD Traverse Telemark Boot:

This is an attractive boot, however I was very disappointed. It did not fit well. there was a lot of heel movement and no ankle support. I like to telemark ski in the back country and was looking for a boot that had good support while not being as large and stiff as the boots I use on the downhill slopes. I am trying to replace a worn leather back country boot. This is advertised as a telemark boot, however I do not think it useful as a back country telemark boot.

Comments about Karhu XCD Traverse Telemark Boot:

Great boot for touring/decent combo. I ski a 10th mountain with voile 3pin w/ cable bindings. I just got the boot this spring (sale), but have so far worked it pretty hard on Sherman peak, taking a variety of terrain and snow conditions. I don't know how they will be in the deep powder of mid winter, but they handle the wet heavy spring snow just fine; great control on the turns. Probably warm too, but tough to tell with 50F.
