Touring boots

This is exactly the type of thread that Charlie Manson would start.

First of all, if I lost some nice boots, I would hope that the person who found them would make an effort to figure out whose they are and get them back to me...

Depends on what the boot is and what alpine binding you have. Ask your local shop. And "touring" boots vary quite a bit these days, I don't know if you're talking about a 50/50 boot like a Tecnica Cochise or a lightweight touring boot like a Scarpa F1 LT. Send a pic if you have one.

But if the sole type is compatible with your binding, you'll still likely pack out the liners and potentially decrease the lifespan of the shells if you're always skiing inbounds with them, as some touring boots aren't designed for regular resort use.

Something tells me the person who 'lost' these boots won't be needing them anymore

This was helpful, thank you. They’re the black diamond quadrants, and it sounds like they’re more of a lightweight touring boot, but I’ll take them into a shop and see if there’s anything I can do. Worse case scenario I’ll just have to start getting more into touring! Also, I found them in a free pile so I’m pretty sure someone left them there on purpose
