The Scarpa Laser: Randonnee/Ski touring boot. Scarpa's dense EVA liner, floating cuff, and hinged tongue allow comfortable and free movement in the touring mode. For downhill precision, three buckles and a power strap offer a good range of adjustment and control. The stiff Pebax shell transmits hip and knee angulation with little energy loss. Dynafit compatible. 3-buckle closure. Power strap. Best of both worlds-walking and skiing. Images |

Voted 4/5 | I have used this boot now for 2 winters. Positive: Good all-around ski-touring boot, comfortable, robust and warm. Excellent for downhill, good for uphill, Dynafit-compatible. Negative: expensive, not very lightweight. | | Posted May 13, 2003 4:51 am |

Voted 4/5 | I've had these boots now for 2 years and really like them! They do really well for ski touring and alpine skiing. The only negative that I have is it's difficult to undo buckles, but I think that newer versions were redesigned. | | Posted Jul 13, 2004 12:19 pm |

Voted 4/5 | I like these boots, tey are light but still sturdy. I have only skied for 1 week in these boots. My problem is I probably bought them too small, they are quite tight. OK, better than too loose. I plan to have the liners re-baked and hope I can gain a little extra room that way.
Sep 2007: Last Winter I got them re-baked. There's a little more room. I think you can bake them up to 8 times. I like them better now, especially walking. They are stiff enough for my touring ski. | | Posted Dec 18, 2005 3:45 am |
| JanVanGenk | Good boots but fit is not perfect | | 
Voted 4/5 | I replaced the original liner boots with thermo-moldables 2 years ago, and the weight saving was remarkable. Except of ski-mountaineering I use these boots also for alpine skiing, they perform good.
The only con for me is the fit, which I do not find to be perfect; I think this is generally true for all models of Scarpa. Namely, Scarpa uses a fixed outer shell per size increment, meaning that e.g. sizes 8,5 and 9 (UK) have the same outer shell with only differently sized liners. This can result in the problem that a full size fits just too small/tight whereas the next half-size fits too big/loose. Especially, if you have wide feet, Scarpa is not the best choice in my opinion. | | Posted Jan 5, 2008 2:13 pm |
