SCARPA F1 Boot - Women
Here’s what happened: the recalled F1 Evo boots were melted down, fed to an improved boot making machine, and spit out into boxes. You can now have your boots back, which were the only ones that fit, we know! The improved F1 is virtually the same boot as the original, just without the misbehaving Tronic ski/walk mode mechanism. Instead SCARPA went with a tried and true F1 lever. They thankfully left the rest of the boot intact, which was working so well for those few months of the 14/15 ski season. The Women’s edition of the F1 has a cuff and last (forefoot width) tailored especially for XX chromosomes. She shares the carbon fiber frame in the lower shell with her brother, making her equally adept at transferring power to the ski. Also shared are the durable Vibram soles, snug BOA lacing system, and incredible light weight. Welcome the F1 back with open arms.
- Enjoy alpine like power with Carbon Core frame embedded in the lower shell.
- Get the perfect forefoot fit with the Boa® lacing system seen on Aliens everywhere.
- Walk freely with a cuff that bends 37 degrees rearward and 25 degrees forward.
- Keep the snow out with an Evo tongue that flexes with your ankle and transfers its energy.
- Secure the cuff with a thick adjustable Velcro strap that closes with a Fast Buckle.
- Casually stroll in comfortable Intuition® liners with special touring flex zones.
- Rely on the Vibram® UFO EVO soles for long lasting grip on mixed terrain.
- Adjust the forward lean to your style by selecting from multiple settings.
- Step into tech bindings easily with Dynafit patented Quick Step toe fittings.
Update 2018/19: The iconic SCARPA F1 is still ahead of its time but in order to keep everyone happy with some shiny boots, a paint job was brought to the table along with some Recco hardware in the power strap.
Update 2020/21: SCARPA updated the still-popular Women's F1 with a flashy look for the next season. Additionally, a small plastic extension was added to the mold that prevents the tongue from getting caught underneath the lower shell when you put the boots on.

Questions & Reviews
What is the last width for a 22.5 Mondo for this boot? I can't seem to find this information anywhere!
Thanks :)
Brands typically only publish last data for a single reference size - the F1 is a stated last of 102mm in a 27. The last typically changes 2mm per size, so that would put the 22.5 last at approximately 94mm.
Yes, the Scarpa F1 will work with all of those bindings. My initial thought is that those are all pretty heavy bindings to pair with a relatively lightweight boot, but I don't know what kind of skiing you are doing! We think it makes more sense to match the binding to the skier and their needs, rather than their equipment. If you fill out our binding finder or reach out via email (help@skimo.co), we can tailer some recommendations to you!
Thanks
(Sorry, I asked the same question under men's version of this boot, didn't realize that)
Yes, the Scarpa F1 is compatible with the Fritschi Vipec Evo 12 binding!
I wear a size 9 running shoe, but it seems that I wear my boots on the smaller side. I have worn by current Gea RS boots about 70 days per year and they are blown out.
Looking to go with the F1s. Do you know how the fit/length is in comparison to the Gea RS? I have narrow heel, average arch and toe box.
I don't have access to try these on locally.
Thanks in advance.
The good:
All day comfort - they're basically like slippers. I've used mine to drive everything from Blizzard ZeroG 85's to Voile HyperDrifters. I do start to notice that they're a little on the soft side when in cruddier snow (especially as the air temp warms up in the spring), but the uphill performance is hard to beat. I spend most of my time going uphill anyways...
The bad:
I have come up with a few tricks to make it less miserable over the last few seasons, but getting in and out is kind of a pain with all of the layers and that blasted rivet on the tongue. The good news is that you only need to do it once a day and once you're in, you're good to go.
