Salomon Shift Alpha Boa

The BOA system uses a micro-adjustable dial to pull the shell evenly around your foot, eliminating pressure points often caused by traditional buckles. It provides a more precise, uniform wrap that stays secure throughout the day, even as your foot swells or changes temperature.

The 110 flex is designed for lighter riders or those who prefer a slightly more forgiving feel. While it offers solid support for all-mountain riding, heavier or more aggressive skiers might find it lacks the rigidity needed for high-speed, demanding terrain.

Free Spine technology allows for a significantly smoother and more natural range of motion when the boot is in walk mode. By reducing friction and resistance during your stride, it makes long ascents feel less fatiguing and more efficient.

The Shift Alpha Boa features a versatile last width ranging from 98mm to 104mm. Because of the BOA system's ability to customize the volume and wrap, it accommodates a wider variety of foot shapes than a standard fixed-last boot.

These boots come with Gripwalk soles, so you must ensure your bindings are Gripwalk-compatible or multi-norm certified (MNC). They are not compatible with traditional, non-adjustable alpine bindings.

Yes, 1750 grams is quite competitive for a boot that offers this level of downhill performance. It strikes a strong balance, keeping the weight low enough for efficient touring without sacrificing the stability required for resort skiing.
