See our entire range from Crispi here!

Crispi Svartisen GTX® 75mm is a technical and powerful ski touring boot developed for long tours in both moderate and demanding terrain. The boot combines longitudinal softness for good walking comfort with high lateral stability , which provides confident control both on flat stretches and on steeper descents.

Svartisen is equipped with CSF – Crispi® Skeleton Frame , an advanced support system with two plastic buckles and integrated ankle support. This provides a precise fit, efficient power transfer and maximum control over both touring skis and cross-country skates – especially valuable when the terrain gets technical or the downhill skiing is steep.

The upper is made of water-repellent full-grain leather and is combined with a GORE-TEX® Insulated Comfort membrane , which keeps feet warm and dry in all weather conditions. A full-coverage rubber protection around the boot provides extra durability and protection against wet, ice and impacts. The stable Vibram® 75 mm sole makes the boot compatible with classic 75 mm bindings and provides secure grip and durability.

This is an excellent choice for those looking for a robust, warm and stable 75mm ski touring boot for serious ski touring.

Measure both feet with the ski socks you intend to use and choose the size according to the longest foot.

Size chart for Crispi Svartisen GTX® 75mm

Foot length and Mondopoint – what is the difference?

The recommended foot length column shows the measurement you get when you measure your foot. Mondopoint shows the size that Crispi connects to the ski boot and is normally a few millimeters larger.

Crispi's recommended foot lengths already take into account the necessary space, so don't automatically add additional centimeters before comparing with the table.

How is the Crispi Svartisen GTX® 75mm sized?

Outdoor Buddies states a normal fit. At the same time, the Svartisen has a relatively technical and close-to-the-foot construction where lacing and two buckles hold the heel, instep and ankle in place.

User experiences vary. Some experience the model as normal in size, while others have experienced heel slippage when they chose too much extra length. Therefore, use Crispi's recommended foot length instead of automatically going up a size.

Example: A foot measuring 275 mm corresponds to EU 43. If the foot measures 280 mm, it falls between EU 43 and EU 44 in the model's available sizes. EU 44 is then the normal starting point, but feel free to try both if you prioritize an extra precise heel grip.

Too much space cannot be fully compensated for by tightening the buckles. Instead, it can create pressure over the instep and ankle while the heel continues to move.

Does the model fit wide feet?

The fit is often described as medium wide to slightly snug. If you have a wide forefoot, high instep or use molded soles, you should try the boot on with your planned sock.

Don't choose a significantly longer size just to get more width. The leather upper may soften and adapt slightly to the foot, but the boot will not become longer.

How to measure your foot

1. Put on the technical ski sock you plan to use.
2. Place a piece of paper on the floor with the short side against a wall.
3. Place your heel lightly against the wall and put normal weight on your foot.
4. Mark where the longest toe ends.
5. Measure from the wall to the marking in millimeters.
6. Measure both feet and start from the longest one.
7. Compare the measurement directly with the recommended foot length column.

Crispi states that the table is based on technical socks, so don't measure with a thin everyday sock if you plan to use a thicker ski sock.

What socks should I use?

A thin or medium-thick ski sock made of merino wool or functional material is usually best. GORE-TEX® Insulated Comfort already provides insulation and the ski boot does not need to be filled with double socks.

Multiple socks can create creases, pressure points and reduced circulation. If the boots are to be used in very cold weather, you should try them on with the exact winter socks you plan to wear.

This is how the ski boot should fit

A properly tested Crispi Svartisen GTX® 75mm should:

• keep the heel stable when the forefoot bends,
• wrap around the midfoot without squeezing,
• give the toes the opportunity to move,
• Do not press against the longest toe when bending your knees.
• provide clear support around the ankle and lower leg,
• not cause numbness or sharp pressure points.

The laces should first hold the foot in place. Then the buckles are adjusted over the instep and around the ankle. Tighten them only as tight as necessary to eliminate any slack – too much tension can cause discomfort and chafing.

Try the boots indoors for 10–15 minutes and make several ski-like movements. The leather and tongue may need a few tries to shape and become completely flexible.

Which bindings fit the Crispi Svartisen GTX® 75mm?

Crispi Svartisen GTX® 75mm has a Vibram® sole with traditional 75 mm Nordic Norm, also called 3-pin or telemark norm.

The boot can be used with compatible 75mm bindings, including cabled models designed for this type of leather boot. It will not fit NNN BC, regular NNN, Prolink or Turnamic bindings and is not compatible with Xplore, SNS or NTN.

Svartisen is also available in a separate NNN BC version. Therefore, always check that the product name states 75mm and that the binding has the corresponding 75mm standard.
