The floating tongue is designed to move with your foot rather than against it. By eliminating the friction points typically found in traditional boot tongues, it allows for a smoother, more natural stride during long ascents, which helps reduce the likelihood of hot spots.

Yes, the 130 flex is quite stiff and provides significant power transfer, making it suitable for aggressive skiers who need stability at speed. The carbon-reinforced construction ensures the boot remains responsive and supportive even in challenging, variable terrain.

The Hoji mechanism is engineered to lock the cuff and shell together into a single, rigid unit when in ski mode, effectively eliminating the 'play' or slop often found in touring boots. This creates a connection that feels much closer to a traditional alpine boot while maintaining a generous 70-degree range of motion for climbing.

A 101mm last is considered a medium-to-wide fit, offering a bit more volume in the forefoot than a race-fit boot. Because of the Twistfit instep tightening system, you can dial in the volume over the midfoot, which helps accommodate a variety of foot shapes and provides a secure hold even if your foot isn't particularly wide.
