Quick Summary
The Alpina Nansen Leather Back-Country Nordic Cross-Country Ski Boots are black boots in size 42, made for use with NNN-BC binding. They also feature a natural leather upper, an anatomic foot bed, a speed lacing system, a waterproof Alpitex membrane and Thinsulate insulation.
That mix of features makes the boot a specialist back-country Nordic cross-country option rather than a general walking boot. The binding system and size are the main checks before choosing an offer.
