The Fischer BCX Transnordic Waterproof NNNBC cross-country ski boots are an amazing choice for adventurous skiers who find themselves wanting a beefier setup than a normal Nordic boot, even by BC standards. These look a lot more like a mountaineering boot versus a cross-country boot, and when you pick them up and hold them in your hands, it’s clear that you’re getting a very burly setup. The lace up system covers that internal tongue, creating that unique seal that a mountaineering boot has, and the stiffer lugged sole has the beefy and burly feeling that rugged work boots and alpine setups normally have. You’d think you could set up a crampon setup with these and scale some larger mountains, but, alas, they’re really only set up for a Nordic ski with a BC binding. But in that sense, they’re some of the coolest and most impressive boots we’ve seen come through here, and with all of Fischer’s heritage when it comes to making quality Nordic gear, these will certainly pass the quality test when it comes to backcountry and adventure skiing. An internal molded heel cap does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to stability, and the natural leather upper has that supple-yet-stiff feel that mountaineers and alpine adventurers have come to know and love. Backcountry skiers looking for a more classic feel and design to their BC boots will love the comfort, performance, and high-quality build of the Fischer BCX Transnordic Waterproof cross-country ski boots.
