Review: Scarpa TX Pro

The Scarpa TX Pro isn’t just a boot; it’s the boot telemark skiers have been dreaming about. It raises the bar for tele boots, offering an impressive combination of power, precision, and comfort. Designed for versatility, the boot excels in both backcountry excursions and resort skiing, making it a reliable choice for any free-heel skier.

In terms of power, the four-buckle system is as reliable as it gets, ensuring rock-solid power transfer to your skis. Whether you’re dropping knees on a steep line or navigating tight trees, the TX Pro delivers the precision you need to feel in control. Paired with a stiff flex, these boots handle aggressive turns and technical terrain with ease.

Now let’s talk comfort. Scarpa didn’t just stop at performance—they went the extra mile with the Intuition Liners as a standard feature. For those unfamiliar, Intuition Liners mold to your feet for a custom fit, boosting comfort and warmth without sacrificing control. No need to upgrade out of the box; Scarpa saves you the hassle.

That said, the TX Pro isn’t shy about its stiffness. Fresh out of the box, it can feel like you’re strapping serious equipment to your feet. But don’t worry—give the boots time on the slopes and they’ll break in beautifully, offering a sweet spot of support and flexibility that shines in even the most challenging conditions.

At $850, the boots are undoubtedly an investment, but one that’s well worth it. With a durable build, these things are built to last. And for telemark skiers who demand gear that can keep up, the TX Pro is the boot to buy.
