Product Reviews
Xena the Nightmare
The Garmont Xena are everything nut not that what is mentioned in the above description. The boots are the nightmare. I have problem with fitting the cuff, adjusting the buckle, I feel pain that you can not even imagine when I try to fix it on the good position to somehow feel the skis and having my leg still in it but even than I do not feel the surface under my skis because I lost my circulation in leg, a total disaster, total disaster. Furthermore, I also wanted to adjust the boot by the screw given with the package of this wonderful product but the windings on the both boots (left and right to adjust the canting) was peeled only after two turns, catastrophe. When I was buying that boots, reading all those beautiful description, I though that I have solved my problem about two type of boots: alpine and mountaineering one. Now, after two days of usage, I'm selling that nightmare I buying new boots.
Xen gives you the control!
I have had several touring boots - these ones aren't light, but they give the best control that I've tried so far, and are fine for long tours. I skied down a 35 degree slope recently with one boot accidentally in "walk" mode and I didn't even notice because the natural stiffness and forward lean give such good control compared with lighter models. Very impressed.
Zena, my favourite AT boot
Having tried various Scarpa boots each with very uncomfortable results I found Xena and love it! The front of my foot is wide, my heels narrow and my arches high. If you have a similar foot I would highly recommend them. I have now used these boots for about 60 days and have not had one problem with them.
Xena Warrior Princesses!
I absolutely love these boots. I sized them a bit bigger than my alpine boots for the purpose of having then for mountaineering and long touring trips, and they have been perfect. Like any ski boot, I got a bit of bootwork done on them so they fit my feet comfortably, and they have been amazing. I've skiied in them close to 100 days. A great combination of a lightweight boot that gives you responsiveness and control.
