It looks as though Rossignol has a hit on their hands with the Alltrack Pro series. The signature feature on the Alltrack models is a hike/ski latch on the rear spine that they purloined from sister company Lange. The curious quality of the Alltrack Pro 110 W is that it skis brilliantly, not because of its focal feature, but despite it.
Most hike mode (HM) boots lose some of their downhill flavor with a loosey-goosey flex that doesn’t quite live up to its numeric billing. This isn’t an issue with the Alltrack Pro W 110, but it you plan on spending more time going uphill than down, you might want a longer range of motion in the hike position.
If you’re looking for superb fit and function when facing downhill, with toe room to spare, select the Alltrack Pro W on its downhill merits and deploy the hike mode only for ease of entry/exit, traversing parking lot acreage and the occasional scramble across a rocky ridge line.
