The Scarpa Gea RS women’s alpine touring boots are a fantastic choice for skiers who are looking for an amazing boot for both the uphills and the downhills. These are the stiffest boots for ladies in the Scarpa AT line, so if you’re looking for a strong boot with a ton of performance, this is the boot for you. Based off of Scarpa’s amazing reputation for building amazing touring boots that have awesome blends of performance and fit, the Scarpa Gea RS women’s boots can handle a lot of adversity, and give back power and precision at every turn of the way. Built with a 101 mm forefoot last, these boots have a bit of extra width to them for increased comfort, but they’re still on the snug side, especially when you factor in the Intuition liner that can be molded to your foot by a certified boot fitter. This way, your foot will be fully enveloped in that awesome liner with the plastic just off the edge of the foot. In terms of performance, the flex rating hits the 120-level, so these boots have the capability for some high-end skiing, no matter how sketchy the conditions and terrain may get. The Carbon and Grillamid shell ensure proper performance from top to bottom, and do so in a very light weight fashion. The Vibram Sole is grippy and tacky, making those tough scrambles on scree a lot easier than it used to be on the plastic soled boots of yore.
