New Scarpa TX Pro Review.

Telemark skiers rejoice- the new TX Pro is here! Last season, we handed over a new 24/25 TX Pro to Highlands ski patroller Luke Demuth. Over the course of three weeks, Luke worked in the TX Pro every day, putting it through the wringer. We half expected Luke, a self described "dirtbag" and old school telemark skier, to disparage the new boot, but he gave it his full endorsement.
With a significantly reduced weight and vastly improved range of motion and walk mode, the new TX Pro is undoubtably a better walking and uphilling boot. However, Luke also found that as a front side boot, the TX more than stood up to the task. Settle in as we take a deep dive into the fit, performance, and design updates of the new TX Pro. As always, drop a comment if you have any questions or feel free to email us at [e-mail].

After being on these for almost a month: 1) bellows do soften quite a bit - you can ski low if you want 2) WAY more orsional rigitity than the old boots - if your technique was tuned to your old worn out tx pros you might notice being a bit out of position at times until you adjust. 3) walking performance is NIGHT AND DAY compared to the previous generation - I have gotten some ice in the walk lever once but its easily cleared with a leatherman or similar 4) the sole on the toe is a little shaved down compared to a new pair of previous gen boots - handy if you are stepping into Meidjo with brakes as it's easier to get into the pins - Lynx also easy (and no issues with the claw on my setups) - perhaps a bit looser feeling on a frame binding like the Outlaw / X. If your old boots were really worn on the toe you might not notice a difference. looking forward to seeing what the Comp version skis like

Cool to see so much in common with my review! I can totally see a patroller liking these. I still think they leave some things on the table for the hardcore chargers out there who are more focused on downhill. After 6 days of uphill I gotta say I love how much better they tour than the old boots, but I am sticking to my guns, the last generation skis downhill better.

Great talk on sizing. I wear a 9.5 shoe and have been on 6.0 T-race for a long time last year I tried a 26.5 scarpa the TX pro and felt pinching in toes I am wondering if what I need to make the transition to ntn would be a 26.0 on the new boot. Any thoughts.

[@ThomasKushner-vt7rq]

Scarpa CEO Kim Miller has already confirmed an updated TX comp coming for winter 25/26

[@cripplecreekbackcountry6800]

Yes! The new 2025/2026 TX Comp is confirmed. Prototype pictures we have seen look very similar to the TX pro, but with a stiffer cuff.

[@HD46409]

Great. Scarpa need a 32 mondo size please..... I would love to get out of my 75MMs....

[@vgaulin]

i still use a brand new T2 eco from last year. How does it compared?

[@karllambert3448]

I just skied on the Tx Pro last weekend. Last year I was on T2 Eco's. I was concerned it would be very stiff, take time to break in, etc. Granted my T2s were one size too large, so that was an issue ' Tx Pros are the correct size I believe. I didn't notice the extra stiffness in any negative way, maybe it is because I am over 200# ' I don't know, but I like the boots, and the edge control is great.

[@donsigalet7620]

Will the comps have tech inserts?

[@cripplecreekbackcountry6800]

Yes, the 25/26 Comps will have a front tech insert.

Anyone else with this boot and 22 Designs Lynx bindings feel like the second heel/duck butt is a little loose/sloppy vertically? When the boot heel is all the way downs theres maybe 2-3mm of vertical space between the butt and the claw. I have preloads on both springs and my new TX Pro boots still flop up and down enough to be annoying. This is my first NTN boot/binding setup, so maybe theyre always a little loose. Laterally, everything is tight and good and overall I like the boots a lot.

[@marcbatchelder6891]

22 Designs has a replacement plate to tighten it up. It shouldn’t be loose. You probably shouldn’t be on them until you get that switched.

[@davidscott7853]

Hmm, I'm aware of the new plates and I have the new plates, but what's new is just the shape of the plate tail. The new design is convex. The older design is concave and the edges would get bound in the ramp of the second heel. I did experience that issue, got the concave plates and the issue has been resolved. The issue I'm describing here is vertical (up/down) slop between the claw and second heel when in ski mode.

[@christopherorman5769]

Ive found it very hard to ski. Extremely stiff and i had a hard time "feeling" the bend through a turn. The cuff is so stiff, it almost hurts when you do a real tele turn. Maybe i get used to it, but thus far not a fan.

[@donsigalet7620]

I adjusted the cuff to max forward lean and made big difference T20 ( torque head 20) and used flat head to get it to move

[@cripplecreekbackcountry6800]

@@donsigalet7620 This is great advice! Also, like Luke mentioned in the video, the bellows do soften up quite a bit after use.

[@karllambert3448]

I have one day on the Tx Pros and did not notice any negative stiffness. Maybe it is because I am not a light person. What bindings are you using. I am on the 22 Designs OutlawX and very light spring tension.

[@christopherorman5769]

@@karllambert3448 I should update my comment as that was a month ago. I tried the new boots with the Bandit and they feel great. I have softened up my Outlaw X bindings, and discovered that the issue is that my bindings were simply to tight -- i.e. too much tension -- for the new boots. Therefore, I think the new boots are great if you dial back your bindings and maybe even run the soft springs in the Outlaw Xs. It is weird that they take less tension than the old TX Pros, but that appears to be the case.
