“The Guard Advance GTX feature the featherlight weight of a XC shoe, combined with all the power of a sturdy extreme full-grain leather boot. Really, the feeling is amazing, something I have never felt before on skis. Complete freedom of movement, but still with all the power and control required on the most extreme and demanding terrain for memorable downhill performances. My new favorite XCD boots. Unique, super comfortable and super powerful.”

About Guard Advance GTX M
A warm and sturdy backcountry ski boot in full grain leather with good support and comfort for demanding ski touring in the mountains. This boot is a reinforced model of the classic Skarvet / BC Advance GTX BC ski boots to be the perfect companion in hilly terrain with steeper slopes while retaining the good skiing properties.
The boot is winter lined with GORE-TEX, has a stable and insulating midsole, as well as an anatomic insole. Memoryfoam provides comfort and together with the good fit in the heel this helps prevent blisters, so you can enjoy even the tougher trips and descents. The rubber mudguard protects and lengthens the life span of the boot.
The great stability and extra insulation means the boot is well suited for long distance ice skating.
Note that certain snow/crust conditions are an extreme strain on the boots’ materials, and with use under such conditions, increased wear is expected.

-
Full-grain Leather
Premium full-grain leather possesses great breathability, durability, water resistance and a smooth surface.
Sole Technologies
-

Standard L-Board
Standard L-board that provides support and stability adapted to the shoe's application area.

Anatomic Insole
An anatomically designed insole made from a breathable material with good absorbency that keeps your feet warm and dry. The foam construction has cushioning properties that counteracts tired feet and provides excellent comfort. It also features an antibacterial surface that helps prevent odors.
Fit & Support
-
Active Fit
Larger volume in the forefoot contributes to warmer feet. The heel shape is designed to reduce the risk of blisters.
-
Double Lock System
In order to adapt the boot individually, ALFA has chosen to use two sets of locking hooks. This way you can lock the laces over the foot’s brigde, adjust the laces over the ankle's bending point, and then tighten and lock before tightening the shaft itself.
Other Featues
-
Ankle Support Collar
Ankle high boots with built-in ankle support. Can be adjusted and tightened.
-
Internal Heel Counter
Heel reinforcements made of plastic that provide better support. An ergonomic and stable heel cap locks the foot in the boot, anchors it to the midsole and reduces the risk of blisters.
-
Toe Protector
A rubber-coated reinforcement that protects the boot from abrasion.
-
Easy Entry Loops
Easy entry loops make the boots easy to take on and off.
