Scarpa has a winner in the Scarpa F1 Alpine Touring Ski Boots. Consistently mentioned as one of the best skiing super light touring boots on the market, the F1 gives you extra beef in the midfoot (often an under-engineered spot in touring shells) by adding a carbon insert when the shell is molded. That and the relatively stiff forward flex mean more precision on scary steeps and the ability to drive bigger skis with power. This still isn't the boot to buy if you're looking for something that skis like your alpine boots, but for the motivated fast 'n light ski tourist, these things rock.
