What is happening with Roxa? Their retailer list on their website is 3 years out of date. You can only find 2 reviews of their boots online. They don't seem to have much in terms of Canadian retailers yet sponsor Dean Bercovitch. I'm not sure if 4frnt distributes them anymore. Their xface 120 tech boot looks very interesting and I want to learn more.

Roxa boots. WTF?
Probably going to advise not buying Roxa and go with the other 4-5 quality ski boot companies e.g. Dalbello, Daleboot, FT, Nordica, etc.

Haha. Well, I'm probably going to advise you to not advise me... considering Daleboot is a joke (and they don't have a tech boot), many Full Tilts are made by Roxa (and they don't have a tech boot), Nordica doesn't make a 3 piece boot anymore (and they don't have a tech/touring boot). Dalbello's Lupo TI is interesting but obviously I would have considered that if I were asking about Roxa, which you did nothing to help with.

I love you fuckwits advising against Roxa while simultaneously recommending FT. What morons.
Their US distribution is a bit weird, but the boots are solid. I picked up a pair of Cliff Note 120's last year as an alternative to the Lupo TI because they are a bit longer and slightly wider. The only downsides to the boot is the liner and the walk mode lever. The liner is useable for a season but pretty meh. It has a plastic tongue that extends to the top of your foot that created a pressure point for me if it wasn't laced up tight. I don't mind lacing the liners up for touring because they definitely help prevent blisters, but it's annoying and time consuming in the powder panic of a resort day. The X-Face seems like it has a better power wrap. But I'm sure it's a FT style, bullshit Intuition liner and not on par with the Lupo liner. The walk mode cam lever is pretty cheap and plastic. I've never had a problem skiing with it, but have lost one throwing my boots in the back of my truck. Roxa sent me a bunch of replacements for free though, so it's worth asking for some preemptively and throwing one in your touring pack. If it falls out, it's stuck in ski mode, so it's not a real day wrecker. Just a bit annoying that they would make something small and critical out of plastic and not aluminum. The power strap is also not up to a booster strap level. It's way better than a typical velcro strap because you can still crank down on it. But there is no elasticity to it.
I feel like to get a hold of them for levers last season, I couldn't find any contact info in the US. I had to email 4frnt to get some info. I ended up getting a hold of Matt Titus.

He was helpful and quick to respond, so he can probably help you out with anything you need.
Overall, they are solid boots and definitely stand up to the Lupo TI and Cochise in the alpine/tech segment of the market and offer a slightly different fit. I have no regrets about picking them up over the Lupo.

Kinda off topic but I went on there page and ended up on the team section. Turns out I've been skiing with one of there team members for the last few weekends. It's a small world.

they still exist lol but theyre very lowkey. Ive skied the xface 120 before depends on what kind of skiing youre doing. its not so great going uphill so dont be fooled by the tech inserts, the range of motion leaves a lot to be desired. Its decent on the way down though flexes like any other given 120 boot. If youre into cabrio design and want a boot that can skin up well and charge down hard check out the dalbello lupo ti, fantastic boot and worth the money you pay for it
I would say get full tilts, but the guy before me already did it and got roasted into the 8th dimension

Thanks for the feedback. I was mainly curious about it as I thought it might be fairly low voume. It sounds like that isn't even the case either.
hemlockjibber8Nordica doesn't make a 3 piece boot anymore (and they don't have a tech/touring boot).
Nordica has the STRider in their lineup now, don't think its a true touring boot though. I wish they would put a little more toward the freeski aspect and get a symmetrical twin and 3-piece back in the lineup

Is that the speedmachine based touring boot?

lol ill tell him you said he was helpful....
Im not necessarily sure why there arent many Canadian retailers, likely because theyre still surfacing in the US and just opened up their warehouse as of last year but there look to be a decent amount of Canadian retailers, although theyre pretty spread out. Even though I wore Dalbellos my whole life til last season I still love my Roxas. I can really only speak from a park boot experience but theyre still great, on my second season in the Freebird 120 and are still holding up great! A couple of my buddies have them and say theyre the comfiest boots theyve had.
But yeah, FT is made by Roxa but Roxa has a wider range of boots as do most other companies compared to FT. Give them a shot though if you can find a pair. The closest place I see near youre location is Kamloops, I have no clue how far that is but maybe try where ever that is if you can.
I should probably know more but just hit up the contact above, youll most likely get a quick response and maybe ask for pictures of the boots up close and for info on others similar to it.
Merrimack, NH?
Its a fucking scam. Merrimack is just a yuppi version of Manchester where instead of immigrants running the scam, its spoiled children.

Hey man! Hit up http://www.d-structure.com or email them at online@d-structure.com. They carry Roxa and have a lot of them. Also west coast sports in Vancouver has them X-Face tour.
You can also reach the canadian distributor at roxacanada@gmail.com .

Their retailers list is old. That store in Kamloops hasn't carried them for 3 years. Thanks for the info though.

What at part is a scam? It's just a warehouse with an office area, an ideal spot. Merrimack is fine but Bedford is where the real spoiled fuckers are.

Oh damn haha, good thing they're just now getting bigger.
Titus69Bedford is where the real spoiled fuckers are.
I think you mean Bow.
skiermanI think you mean Bow.
Not out there a lot, Windham are also rich asses. Im in the Amherst area, went to school with some rich ass kids.
This is however irrelevant lol.
hemlockjibber8many Full Tilts are made by Roxa (and they don't have a tech boot),
i have seen it. it exists
It would maybe help if an NSer at SIA would give them a news article on here, like every other brand there.
Saga.i have seen it. it exists
I thought I saw a press release last year for a descendant with inserts but couldn't find it again. Prototype? Speculation?

Most large eruo companies usa hq are in nh it isn't a scam.
hemlockjibber8Thanks for the feedback. I was mainly curious about it as I thought it might be fairly low voume. It sounds like that isn't even the case either.
i think its really in the middle regarding volume. the dalbello lupo ti is a 98mm last and pretty low volume boot for a secure fit. the xface120 is a 99 last that has an average volume. this could be compared to full tilts 99mm soul/original shell (think tom wallisch/seth morrison/first chair boots). so if you by any chance know that those ft boots fit you then the xface should be a similar fit. hope this helps!
hemlockjibber8Is that the speedmachine based touring boot?
Pretty sure
snowfinderit is a scam.
No shit, NH is a magnet for scams.
skiermanNo shit, NH is a magnet for scams.
whether thats true or not, i dont think a ski boot company is a scam
grilled_cheesePretty sure
im not sure if your trolling or not but speedmachines are a race boot
CarsonDaSkierim not sure if your trolling or not but speedmachines are a race boot
speedmachine is their all mountain boot, Dobermann series is their race boot
You can snag Roxa offerings which come with Intuition liners on eBay for what the Intuition liner costs by itself. I've known a few to but the boot simply for the liner at that price.
skiermanNo shit, NH is a magnet for scams.
So marker , nordica and fischer are scams?
grilled_cheesespeedmachine is their all mountain boot, Dobermann series is their race boot
all my race homies race on a speedmachine 130
CarsonDaSkierall my race homies race on a speedmachine 130
Just because they race in them doesn't mean it's a race boot. it's a 100mm last which is pretty wide as far as racing goes. Rossi race boots are around 92mm in the stiffer flexes, I think the dobermann series is a similar width.
CarsonDaSkierall my race homies race on a speedmachine 130
Just because they race in a boot doesn't mean it's a race boot. Doberman is. Their race boot, with the GPX being their free ride offset of that race boot. The speed machine is a wider all mountain boot made for a higher degree of comfort than just pure performance like the Doberman or the GPX.
If it has a rubber bottom it is not a race boot.

chill homies and if they're meant for comfort they definetly missed out on that. I used a buddies of mine and they were the coldest things i have ever worn
get fulltilts
snowfinderSo marker , nordica and fischer are scams?
Yup, along with the IMF.
All times are Eastern (-5)
