Loading reviews…
The ski boot is much too narrow. It is difficult to put on and take off the shoe. In addition, I get pain in my ankles after a few minutes on my foot. I also don't have wide feet. Let my girlfriend try on the shoe that has two sizes smaller her foot and it was impossible even for her. Had to return.
I had the opportunity to try this model for a ski touring trip (2 outings of +/- 15km 1200+) The product responds quite well overall. On the other hand, the shoe is huge! To adapt to my alpine skis and even to touring skis, I had to push the bindings to their maximum, I thought for a moment I had to give up a day of skiing because it was little past for the alpines, whereas 'with my alpine ski boots (Lange), the bindings are comfortable... Ditto for ski touring, I had to take XL bindings.. the rental company was amazed! Upon receipt of the product, the alpine ski heel pads are missing.... I don't know how to get them, whereas the product is sold adaptable to ski touring/alpine with the heel pads. Finally, adaptability / morpho, I had to open them during the effort because the maleoles were too expensive! I now have to find someone to fit the slippers. I'm skeptical...
Ideal to start spending relatively little.
Stunning
good versatile shoe which in my opinion runs rather large.
good value for money
Meets my expectations
This is my first purchase of ski boots and I am satisfied with them. With a rather slim morphology, this shoe fits perfectly for a thin foot and calf. Watch out for the wider foot, this shoe will probably be a little tight. The comfort and fit of the foot/ankle/leg are very satisfactory. Note that it is rather easy to put on with the front and back straps. The three tightening points are more than enough and make it quick to put on. The unclamping of the part around the leg allows you to have a little more mobility while walking, but this is not the main argument of these shoes.
He is very good
As read in other reviews, I am experiencing very severe pain on the outside of my right foot while using these shoes. Following this, I no longer dare to wear them because it took several days for this pain to disappear for only 3 hours of use. Disappointed with this purchase. I should have read the reviews on the site even though I bought them in store.
The ski boot is well padded, it can also be baked and shaped on the leg, although it is a little harder to hike, but if you are young, it shouldn't be a problem. It holds up well in the downhill as a downhill skier. It is an excellent choice for a beginner, an occasional ski alpinist and a young person like me.
I bought them for my son as universal ski boots, mainly for skiing, but also for freeride and classic tow skiing - maximum satisfaction so far, but they really fit a narrow leg.
after 2 outings 1200+ and 800+, I can say that the boot is not suitable for ski touring. quite simply because the liner has no hold on the feet (no velcro or laces) so when you go up with the shoe open as you have to do in ski touring, your feet are on the move as much as you are. results of overheating and blisters on all feet. first exit to the right, second to the left and always in the same places: halfway between the maleole and the heel on the inside of the foot. Personally, I do not recommend these boots for ski touring at this price. now I don't have much choice, I have the compeed...
Good product quality price
Beginner in ski touring I opted for these shoes, I am not disappointed. Good support and good rigidity, the walking position for climbing is really useful. Always good value for money. I recommend.

Additional Product Information
Composition
Upper of: 100.0% Polypropylene ; Lining and sock of: 100.0% Polyester ; Outer sole of: 100.0% Thermoplastic Polyurethane ; Warm lining: 100.0% Polyester
Thermoformable liner
Polyethylene liner, 3 mm thick thermoformable material. By heating your liner, you can compress the foam to make room and increase comfort. Shock Absorber Area system in the heel for cushioning the shocks on bumps or jumps.
How to thermoform your liners
1- Preheat the oven to 80°C on fan mode.2- Remove the liners from the shells.3- Remove the insoles from your liners.4- Put the liner in the oven for just 5 minutes.5- Remove the liners from the oven.6- Put the soles inside the liners.7- Put the liners back into the boots.8- Put on your boots and lock each buckle to the mid-way setting.9- Wait for 15 minutes at room temperature before removing the boot.There you go, you are ready to ski
Hook adjustment
3 micrometric aluminium hooks and one 3-position hook on the shin to fit all sizes of calf. Wide strap for powerful and easy tightening of the top of the shell. Walk position on the shin hook (Walk in red) to increase the movement of the collar.
Sizing
Fine foot (last 100 mm), polyethylene heat-moulding liner: 3 mm heat-moulding foam all the way around the foot. Lightweight and comfortable liner. Preformed foam at the ankles. Flexible material so that the shape of the liner conforms easily to the climbing and walking phases. In case of discomfort after a few days of use, it’s possible to heat-mould your liners.
What is the flex?
To provide an indication of rigidity, brands assign a flex rating to every boot. This figure indicates the rigidity of the whole boot: the higher the figure, the stiffer the shell. A flex of 70 is considered best for skiers at intermediate level. A flex from 70 to 100 is for intermediate skiers. Beyond this value, the products are aimed at advanced skiers. Heavy builds can, however, go up a level.
How to try on ski boots?
Once the foot is in the boot, fasten the buckles to the midpoint. Can you go further? This means the volume of the boot isn't right for you. Once the boot is closed, you must flex the boots 3 times by pressing hard on the shins (put your hands on your knees to help) and push your heel backwards inside the boot. Stand upright: your foot should touch the end of the shell. When you flex, your foot should move backwards so you can no longer feel the end.
What should you do if you experience foot pain?
1/ Choose a technical skiing sock, fine to avoid areas of pressure and improve blood circulation in the foot.2//Choose a sole adapted to the shape of your foot to prevent it from being squashed and pressing against the shell. Ask a salesperson in store for advice.3/ Thermoform your liner.
How to avoid having cold feet?
Although it is often forgotten, drying the liner is the most effective way to avoid having cold feet. Even at -10°C, the foot sweats and the liner cannot dry by itself in its plastic shell, even over several days. Ideally, it should be removed every day. There is the option to use boot dryers that are more convenient because there is no need to remove the liner, you just plug them in!
