These high performance bootsare compatible with Fritschi and Silveretta randonée bindings.Mike Marolt, who is training for an Everest ski descent, writes “I am really impressed withthe Lowa. It is better than the Scarpa in my opinion just because the cuff is not so boxy. Ithas a much better tongue that makes it more like a ski boot. And the fact that the middlebuckle does not line over the ankle, allows it to walk infinitely better. We climbed theScarpa with the two top buckles open. Don’t have to do that with the Lowa. Just better allthe way around.”Backcountry Gear Guide, 2005: Tester’s comments: “...the Struktura Light Lady enabledme to ski with precision no matter what terrain I was negotiating. Add to the mix the widerange of fore and aft mobility in its hike mode and you’ve got a winning combination.”Couloir Gear Guide, October 2005: The Pro excels in the backcountry and when mated to one of the new freeride ATbindings, it becomes more than adequate for inbounds skiing - cruisers, powder in the trees, occasional bumps andfrequent trans-boundary jaunts. LOWA touts the Pro as their go-to model for coaches and partrollers - people whoneed reasonable support, dawn to dusk comfort, standing-around warmth and bi-pedal mobility. With the Pro, they’vehit that mark and more.Dear LOWA...In 2001 I was going to guide Mt. Logan in the Yukon as a skimountaineering trip. I had to decide what boot I wanted for such a coldmountain so I decided on a Struktura Light with a Gore-Tex liner fromthe shelf. I got one size bigger then I usually wear around here in theWasatch or the Alps. I spent 28 days in the boot without any problems(it didn’t even smell too bad!). Even on the one morning that had a -70ºwind chill factor I was never cold or wet. I was also very impressed withits ski performance in climbing/skinning. This is the best boot on themarket. It stayed dry or dried out fast enough to perform.Freddy GrossniklausIFMGA Swiss guidewww.swissrockguides.comStruktura Liner Molding InstructionsIf you have a blowdryer, turn it on medium and place nozzle inside the boot, moving itconstantly so it doesn’t burn the lining. Then place your foot inside, and close buckles.Wear the boot for about 10 minutes...the boot will now be custom-fit to your foot. Oryou can place the boots in a 200 degree oven for 10 minutes (just don’t answer thephone and forget about ‘em!), then wear them for about 10 minutes.Visit lowaboots.com for complete product detailsStruktura AT Boots25
