Women's Versatile Lightweight Touring Boot

Scarpa F1 W Alpine Touring Boot

The Scarpa F1 W Alpine Touring Boot is a 1,094 g (size 25) women's touring boot with a 102 mm last, a 95-flex feel, and a pin-tech-only Vibram UFO Evo touring sole, built for all-around backcountry days when uphill efficiency and a forgiving fit matter as much as the descent. A carbon-infused nylon shell, a hinged Evo tongue, a lower cuff and a BOA forefoot balance a 62-degree range of motion with a progressive flex.

Is This the Right Boot for You?

Best For
Women backcountry skiers with average-volume feet who want one versatile touring boot for day-to-day skiing and ski mountaineering, driving skis 88 to 105 mm underfoot with pin-tech bindings.
Consider Another Boot If
You want the lightest possible boot, a longer walking stride, or frame, MNC or alpine binding compatibility, or you have a very wide or high-volume foot that needs a roomier shell.

Why We Like It

  • At 1,094 g per boot (size 25), the F1 W balances real downhill support with lightweight touring in a women's-specific build.
  • A lower cuff and a liner shaped for a lower, wider calf improve fit and comfort for many women compared with the men's F1.
  • The 102 mm last and carbon-infused nylon shell fit a range of feet and can be punched by a skilled fitter.
  • The hinged Evo tongue gives a smoother, more progressive flex than the tongueless F1 LT.
  • A BOA forefoot dial secures the lower shell, and the cuff buckle plus Velcro strap lock the ankle for the descent.
  • The Intuition Pro Flex Evo women's liner is heat-moldable and warmer than the thin race-style liners in the Alien and F1 LT.

Best Uses

  • Day-to-day backcountry touring
  • Ski mountaineering and spring missions
  • Touring skis 88 to 105 mm underfoot
  • Women with average-volume feet
  • Tourers who want warmth and a progressive flex at moderate weight

Bootfitter's Advice

The Scarpa F1 W fits as a medium-volume boot on a 102 mm last with a women's-specific cuff that sits lower and a liner shaped for a lower calf muscle. We find it fits narrower overall than the men's F1 with a thicker liner, so we size close to true Mondo and confirm with a shell fit; Scarpa shares a shell between each full size and the half size above.

The carbon-infused nylon shell accepts moderate heat molding and punching, so sixth-toe and bunion areas can be opened up. Heat molding the liner adds toe room, so we start snug. Women with wider calves who found other boots tight at the cuff usually appreciate the lower, scalloped F1 W cuff.

Compare the Scarpa F1 W

F1 W vs. Scarpa F1 LT W

The F1 LT W saves over 150 g per boot, walks with a 72-degree range of motion and skis a stiffer, wall-like flex on a narrow 100 mm carbon lower that does not punch. The F1 W is heavier at 1,094 g, fits a wider 102 mm last with a warmer liner, punches, and skis a more progressive tongued flex.

F1 W vs. Scarpa F1 (Men's)

The women's F1 shares the men's 102 mm lower shell and fit through the foot, so mondo-for-mondo they match. The F1 W differs with a lower cuff and a liner shaped for a lower calf, which many women find more comfortable than the taller men's cuff.

F1 W vs. Tecnica Zero G Peak Women's

The Zero G Peak Women's skis a more progressive flex and pairs an ISO 9523 sole with tech inserts, while the Scarpa F1 W is warmer, fits a wider last and uses a BOA forefoot but is pin-tech only. Fit usually decides between them.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Scarpa F1 W?
The Scarpa F1 W suits women backcountry skiers with average-volume feet who want one versatile touring boot for day-to-day skiing and ski mountaineering on skis 88 to 105 mm underfoot. It balances warmth, a progressive flex and moderate weight.
How is the Scarpa F1 W different from the men's F1?
The F1 W shares the men's 102 mm lower shell and foot fit, but adds a lower cuff and a liner scalloped for a lower, wider calf muscle. Women with larger calves who found other boots tight at the cuff usually fit the F1 W better than the taller men's boot.
Is the Scarpa F1 W really a 95 flex?
The 95 flex is a nominal touring figure, not an alpine flex. We find the F1 W skis with a progressive, tongued feel that is supportive for a lightweight boot but softer than a true high-flex alpine or freeride-touring boot.
What bindings does the Scarpa F1 W work with?
The Scarpa F1 W is a pin-tech-only boot. Its Vibram UFO Evo sole is a rockered touring profile that Scarpa does not certify to ISO 9523, so it works only with pin-tech (low-tech) bindings and is not safe in frame, MNC, or ISO 5355 alpine bindings. Certified tech inserts are required for pin bindings.
Can the Scarpa F1 W be punched?
Yes. The F1 W uses a carbon-infused nylon shell that accepts moderate punching and heat molding, so a skilled fitter can open the toe box and relieve sixth-toe or bunion pressure, unlike the carbon F1 LT W.
How does the Scarpa F1 W sizing run?
The F1 W runs close to true Mondo length and comes with a thicker liner than the F1 LT W. Scarpa shares a shell between each full size and the half size above, differing only in liner pre-molding. Confirm with a shell fit rather than a street-shoe conversion.
Is the walk mode a one-step transition?
No. The F1 W uses a rear ski/walk lever, and for full walking range many skiers also loosen the cuff Velcro strap, making it a two-step transition. In return it gives a secure, tongued ski mode.
Is the Scarpa F1 W warm enough for winter touring?
Yes for most tourers. The Intuition Pro Flex Evo Women's liner is thicker and warmer than the race-style liners in the Alien and F1 LT W, making the F1 W a reasonable choice for cold, day-long winter tours.

Our Verdict

The Scarpa F1 W brings the versatile, do-it-all F1 formula to a women's-specific fit, with a lower cuff and warmer liner on a forgiving 102 mm last. It gives up weight and walking range to the F1 LT W but punches, fits more feet and skis a smoother, progressive flex. It is a pin-tech-only boot best matched to skis 88 to 105 mm.
