The next step forward in Freeride boots is here!
Scarpa have finally made their long awaited come back to the world of freeride boots. Following on from the extremely succesful Freedom SL, Scarpa have taken their time to come up with a boots that blurs the lines between ski touring and freeride ski boots, the 4-Quattro.
We think the biggest step forward comes with the design and production of a Presta Grip Walk compatible sole unit that looks and feels like a conventional ski touring boot sole, offering confidence when boot packing off your skis and the binding compatibility of Grip Walk (will clip into any modern alpine downhill binding) as well as all pin tech touring, frame touring and hybrid bindings such as Salomon Shift and kingpin.
Along with the superb sole design and binding compatibility the Scarpa 4-Quattro weigh a mere 3KG per pair making them almost as light as Scarpa's flagship touring boots the Meastrale. They also have an excellent range of motion in walk mode.
Alongside these impressive ski touring boot credentials the Scarpa 4-Quattro boast a very supportive flex index of 120 for the SL and 130 for the XT versions, this flex is also more progressive than in some of their stiffer touring boots and feels lively and responsive to ski.
The combination of ski touring boot uphill performance and freeride boot downhill power makes the Scarpa 4-Quattro the most versatile boots that we have ever sold!
How do the Scarpa 4-Quattro Ski boots fit? So after a day of skiing and trying the new boots in the shop, we would say that the 4-Quattro boots are a good low to medium volume fit offering roughly the same last width as the latest Scarpa Maestrale RS but with less forefoot depth / volume. The instep height is similar to the Maestrale RS however the overal fit feels more even over the foot with a closer fit around the toes and over the ball of the foot in a nice way. We haven't had any initial obvious fit issues with ankle bones or on the 5th met.
