Ski touring - boots

I've been tempted by ski touring for a long time and since my classic ski boots are due for replacement I'm thinking of buying touring boots (Nordica TR 12), but I'm wondering if they're also suitable for regular skiing on groomed slopes? What are your experiences? Best, Matej

Yes, for short skis, if you use them on the slopes, touring boots are totally fine. On classic skis though, in my opinion, they don't fit well. Classic boots grip the foot better for me, in touring ones the foot moves easier. Regards

Yes, and also, when walking stairs you're more flexible than in alpine ski boots.

Nice greetings! Ski touring tempts me too for a long time but purchase stopped at touring bindings! Tell how about touring bindings where you can use mountaineering boot instead of boots (for auto crampons) how's that in practice? More for experienced skiers or rookiesvelik nasmeh please reply! thanks

I tried last year on Rodica attaching "short" skis to boots and after the second turn everything fell apart. I compromised and had touring bindings mounted on alpine skis. In turns I wobble a bit more due to ski radius but on hard ground or slopes it works great. Many factors influence decision! Definitely get touring boots you won't regret.
By the way, here are some links for easier decision:

Boots must also have space in front like all shoes but not too much. When buckled toes shouldn't hit the front shell wall.
