These NNN/NIS boots will only work with NNN/NIS style bindings. Brand is irrelevant but the plate of your bindings must be for an NNN sole boot. Lacing System: Standard polyester laces, but with the top eyelet being a hard plastic hook that lets you cinch the boots down tight and won't let go of the laces as you're moving all day. Thinsulate Insulation: Thinsulate is very popular insulation, used in gloves, boots, jackets, hats and a dozen other items worldwide because it is extremely lightweight and moisture resistant, and extremely warm. Polyester Lining: Polyester is the perfect lining for cross country boots as it resists water, wicks away sweat, provides a fair amount of insulation, all while being soft to the touch. Pretty much every ski sock on the planet is a polyester blend of some sort, for the same reasons that the lining of this boot is made of polyester. Cotton and wool are on 2 sides of the spectrum that polyester splits right down the middle. What a great and magical fabric. Alpina Women's Fit: These boots are just like the Men's version of the same boot, but with a lower cuff and a wider cuff/collar region to fit the shape of a woman's calf better. |
