Alpina Outlander BC – lightweight, stable and versatile ski touring boot for mountains & cross-country skiing

The Alpina Outlander BC is a technical and highly versatile ski touring boot that combines low weight with good stability and comfort. It is developed for the Rottefella NNN BC binding system and is excellent for both ski touring and cross-country skating.

The boot is equipped with a plastic cuff with powerstrap fastening , which provides extra support around the ankle and increased control - especially when skiing downhill or when you are carrying a pack. Inside, there is an Alpitex membrane in a sock construction with taped seams , which keeps your feet dry, while Thinsulate insulation ensures that you stay warm even on cold winter days.

The laces are covered to protect against snow and ice, which both increases comfort and improves the boot's water resistance. Together with the wide last, this creates a warm, comfortable and forgiving boot that fits many feet.

The BC sole from Rottefella provides precise flex in the stride while maintaining stability, making the Alpina Outlander BC a very good choice for medium to heavy tours and as an alternative to touring skates with BC bindings.

Measure both feet in millimeters and use the longest one. Foot length is a more reliable guide than your usual shoe size, as sizes can vary between manufacturers.

How is the Alpina Outlander BC sized?

Available user reviews describe the Outlander BC as comfortable and relatively easy to get a good fit in, with no clear pattern of the model being unusually small or large. Therefore, base your decision primarily on foot length.

Please add approximately 2-3 mm to your measured foot length before comparing with the chart. If your measurement falls between two available sizes, we normally recommend the larger one.

Example: If the longest foot measures 267 mm, the comparison measurement will be approximately 269–270 mm. This corresponds to EU 42.

Choose the larger size if you:

  • falls between two sizes
  • use a slightly thicker ski sock
  • have a high instep or need more volume
  • prioritizes warmth and comfort during long rides
  • feel your toes being pressed against the front edge of the ski boot

Don't choose a boot that is too big just for warmth. Too much space will reduce heel grip, stability and control over the ski.

How to measure your foot

  1. Put on the ski sock you plan to use.
  2. Place a piece of paper on the floor with one edge against a straight wall.
  3. Stand with your heel lightly against the wall and full weight on your foot.
  4. Mark in front of the longest toe.
  5. Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in millimeters.
  6. Repeat with the other foot and use the longest measurement.
  7. Add approximately 2–3 mm and compare the result with the table.

It's best to measure later in the day, when feet are usually slightly larger.

Choosing a ski sock

Try on the boots with the socks you plan to use when skiing. A medium-thick ski or wool sock usually provides a better fit than multiple layers of socks.

Socks that are too thick or double can compress the foot, reduce circulation and make the feet feel colder despite more material.

Check the fit

The correct size should:

  • keep the heel stable with minimal play
  • give room to move your toes
  • do not press over the forefoot, ankle or ankles
  • keep your foot in place when you bend your knees
  • prevent the toes from being pressed against the front edge
  • feel stable without the need to tighten the lacing to the maximum
  • be comfortable with the ski sock you will actually use

Buckle up your ski boots, stand up and bend your knees as if you were in a skiing position. Then walk indoors for a few minutes. Numbness, obvious pressure points or contact between your toes and the front edge are signs that the size or fit is not right.

If the length is correct but the boot presses heavily on the forefoot or ankle, the problem is likely the shape or volume of the foot, not that you need a much longer boot.
