Are these boots capable of driving 106 mm wide skis / 1800 gr weight in crappy snow?
And how would these compare with Maestrale RS and Technica Zero G pro tour.
I'm 90 kg / 188 cm long and today use Roxa boots to drive my Faction Agent 3.0 but want a boot with better walking capability but is still heafty enough to drive the Agent 3.0
Fischer Transalp Pro Boot
In the early days of ski touring, folks purchasing boots had to answer a most pressing question; “Do I want performance or mobility?” Thankfully, and much to the relief of our wallets, our sport has matured quite nicely, and we are now treated with many equipoised offerings. With the introduction of the Transalp Pro, Fischer has created a boot equally at home on far-out ski mountaineering objectives as it is making high-speed turns down the apron. The Double/Lock Ski Walk mechanism provides a solid interface that helps provide support during those aggressive ski descents but also remains supremely user-friendly to operate. The adjustable forward lean helps accommodate different stance preferences, and the full rubber outsole confidently provides traction on those icy ridge traverses. If you’ve found yourself seeking a boot that balances uphill efficiency with downhill prowess, then step into the Fischer Transalp Pro.
- Pebax RNew makes for a stable and light platform.
- Power Buckle System lets you find that position that is “just right.”
- Full Rubber Outsole for traction while booting.
- Double Lock Ski/Walk provides a powerful, yet easy-to-use interface.
- Active Fit Zone Liner helps the boot to feel good right out of the box.
- Adjustable forward lean helps accommodate your preferred ski stance.

Hi Henrik, these boots will be capable of driving those skis but are not quite in the same league as four buckle boots such as the Maestrale or Zero G Pro Tour. The Transalp will definitely improve your walking range of motion though!
Answer this question:
I have about 20 days so far with the Transalp Pros so figured a review was in order. I am generally a size 13.5 or 14 in street shoes, with very narrow foot, heel, and a high instep. With the Transalp Pro I went with the 29.5 size. I was skiing in the Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro, also in a 29.5, for two seasons. Very happy with the Tecnicas (although I was on my second liner and wore a hole in both around the heal), but wanted to get a little more range of movement for the uphill and was hoping to save a few grams. Definitely better range of motion, but unfortunately gained a few grams.
The fit is great. I thought I would need just a smidgeon of more length, but so far they have been just fine. I have a narrow foot with a high instep, narrow heel. This boot is a good fit for my foot shape. No hotspots, no blisters, no dead toenails, etc.
I don't think the boots ski quite as well as the Zero G's. You wouldn't confuse the Transalp Pro with a four buckle boot. That said, it skis really well. My only slight issue is that I feel like there is a little backward flex or movement if I end up in the back seat. They are on the softer side, maybe comparable to a 100-110 flex boot. I have used them with both the Black Diamond Cirque 84 and Atomic Backland 100 skis and they pair great with both.
On the uphills they are great. Range of motion is excellent.
Overall, very happy with them so far.

I figured I would post a quick review of these boots after 3 tours in them since they are new and have a lot of hype. My previous touring boots were lange free tours and salomon mtn labs. I wear a street size 11.5 or 12 and went with 29.5 and superfeet insoles. I like the fit, its comfortable while still feeling precise and snug while skiing. I will likely need to punch my 6th toe area before big missions. They feel light on the up and the ROM has blown me away very easy to take long comfortable strides. I am using them in the more upright, less aggressive stance and I really like how they ski. On a powder day I used them to drive my 1800 gram 108 underfoot skis and felt confident and comfortable. (granted that was in low density ankle deep powder) I have also used them with my lighter 88 underfoot skis and they drove them flawlessly. Some cons I have noticed: the walk mode has iced up on me many times requiring me to break ice to engage or disengage it. The internal gaiter and tongue bunch upwards around the top of the foot and needs to be "set" for downhill skiing (they even have these instructions written on that part of the boot) Overall I really like this boot and will be using it for all my touring this winter. Great mix of uphill and downhill performance for someone who values downhill experience and longer days out. I hope we see more lean beef like this from all the boot makers out there.

I recently tried the Dynafit Radiacal Pro and found the instep and fore foot volume to me to much for me. How would the Transalp Pro compare fit wise? I have a lower instep, narrower heel and moderately narrow fore foot and am looking for a boot in this range to accommodate that.
10/9/2021
Hey Brian, the Transalp Pro will be a better fit for you. The Radical Pro boot is a wide, voluminous fit whereas the Fischer will be a lower volume and narrower fit with a tighter heel pocket.

Hi Fedor,
The ski/walk lever is screwed onto the boot with a small shim above it. To decrease the forward lean, you would take the lever off and reattach it with the shim below the lever base.

Hi, what is the official last / width of these boots? Could you, please, specify the actual width for the size 26-26.5 and 27-27.5?
Thank you!
Thank you!
9/13/2021
Fedor, thanks for reaching out. The last is 100mm in the 26/26.5 mondo size.

Is the last/lower boot volume the same as the Travers CS? I currently have the Travers CS boots and like fit, but would like to try something a little stiffer.
8/12/2021
Thanks for your question, Barrett. The Transalp is built around the same last as the Travers, so the shell fit will be almost identical. The Transalp will fit slightly tighter out of the box due to its beefier liner, however, that should go away with a footbed/liner mold. Overall, if you get along well with the Travers you should as well with the Transalp! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently on Scarpa F1 size 25.5. How does the sizing of this boot compares? Should I go for size 25.5 or 26.5?

Hello Matt, you could go either way just depends on how the F1's fit on you. I would suggest going with the 26/26.5 for the Transalp if you feel the Scarpas are fitted well and don't need a tighter fit. If you feel like your F1's could be a little tighter then go with the 25/25.5. I recommend trying them on since the sizing is different on those two brands and you may find that you are in between sizes in either the Scarpas or the Fischers. I do think when you can dial in the sizing you will like the Fischer Transalp pro's as they fit a similar foot shape.

Hi, how does the fit & sizing compares to Travers series? Fischer says that ROM is 80deg in these, your website says 60deg. Which one is true?
7/27/2021
Thanks for reaching out, Matt! This does have an 80-degree range of motion. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you!
