Salomon Shift Pro

It is a hybrid. It is designed to bridge the gap, offering the downhill performance and power transmission of a resort boot with the walkability and tech-binding compatibility required for backcountry touring.

The Custom Shell HD process allows a boot fitter to heat and expand the polyurethane shell to match the specific contours of your foot. This helps eliminate common pressure points and creates a more precise, personalized fit than an out-of-the-box boot.

The Shift Pro comes with GripWalk soles, which are compatible with GripWalk-certified bindings and most modern touring bindings. However, they are not compatible with traditional, non-GripWalk alpine bindings, so check your binding specifications before purchasing.

A 100 flex is generally considered a medium-stiff rating, suitable for advanced skiers who want a balance of responsiveness and comfort. If you are an expert skier who prefers a very rigid, race-like feel, you might find this flex slightly forgiving, but it provides plenty of power for most all-mountain conditions.

The 4D liner is seamless and pre-shaped, which significantly reduces friction and hot spots right out of the box. It is designed to offer a more immediate, comfortable hold around the ankle and heel compared to traditional stitched liners.

The fiberglass Core-Frame adds stiffness and torsional rigidity to the boot without adding unnecessary weight. This ensures that your energy is transferred efficiently from your leg to the ski, giving you better control during high-speed turns.
