Help! Where can I get Xplore-ready boots in Canada?

Post by musiccaptain » Thu Nov 28, 2024 4:18 pm

I've been telemarking on 3-pin gear for 40 years and this summer had a bunion correction surgery that fused my MTP joint. I think the Xplore system might be the way to keep freeheeling but Canadian distributors of Rottefella's Xplore partners won't answer my emails. Does anyone know where to get xplore-compatible boots in Canada? (PS--looking at the Rossignol and Alpina reviews on the REI site doesn't inspire confidence in those brands.) Thanks for any help!

Demers Bicycle in Quebec has a huge variety available. Oberson in Quebec has a couple of different pairs. SPRY in Blairmore has Rossi. La Cordee has an Alpina boot. Norseman in Calgary has Rossi.

Just Google the boot you’re interested in and add Canada to the search.

Really like my Alpina Pi Tech, find them to be true to size and comfortable.
