The Gist

The Alltrack Pro 130 returns unchanged to reclaim a top spot in the On-Off area category. Testers were mixed on the color scheme, but all voted “aye” on fit and skiability.

Fit

The initial fit is well-draped and welcoming with a warm and padded feel against the foot. The toebox width and length is roomier than average. Some low-volume footed testers said it’s feasible to think about down-sizing to gain a very compact fit. If you like that kind of painted-on feel, this is a good boot to try with. Most liked the Alltrack Pro just fine as-sized on the wider side of the medium group. 

The ankle pockets are noticeably well formed, a sensation noted on many test forms. They contour to the shape of the ankle bones and hold them in a comfy and firm fashion that says, “Let’s go ski.” The cuff is neutral with ideal flex feel and tongue cushioning, testers said. Some thought the boot felt soft at room temperature but found it perked right up in the cold.

Performance

This is more in-area boot than backcountry touring machine, unless you don't care much about the up but absolutely must have the goods to lay waste to the descent. It skis well, testers agreed, in all conditions, turn radii, speeds and terrain. It steers and schmears, rails trenches, absorbs big hits, bashes bumps. Really, what else is there to do? 

Many testers thought Rossignol must have changed something on this year's model as it seemed to ski better than prior editions, but no, the company says, it's the same old same old.

Cool Features

The hike mode is not the best of the group. It's difficult to pop the Posi-Block mechanism in and out as needed. The hike range of motion is limited and moves rearward only. Testers didn’t think of this boot as a long-touring option and neither should you. It’s primarily built for the downhill and has ample rearward support for that.

The lateral cuff adjustment is single-sided and the grippy soles are replaceable and swappable to Walk to Ride (WTR) rocker-toed versions ($80 option). Thinsulate laminate in liner boosts warmth retention.
