In general, consumers leave positive feedback about the brand. Lightness, comfort and high quality of boots, the ability to provide reliable fixation of the ankle are noted. However, some people find the Alpina PRO model too rigid. Others did not fit the size stated on the site. Therefore, be sure to try on shoes before buying. Due to the individual characteristics of the foot structure, shoes may need to be one size larger.

Ski boots have different requirements, so their structure is significantly different from others.Unfortunately, at the moment Alpina has moved away from the production of these boots, and in the mountain industry the brand is found only among ski masks, helmets and goggles. Previously released Bemil and Alpha models have conflicting reviews.
