Salomon S/Pro Alpha 120 GW EL Ski Boots 2024

This boot boasts a redesigned mold compared to previous versions. The 3D Instep shell is a standout feature, strategically placing the buckles and employing thinner plastic on the top of the foot to ensure a snug, high-performance fit without exerting unnecessary pressure on the foot's upper part.

Additionally, relocating the buckle closer to the cuff enhances heel lock and provides excellent support for maximum on-slope performance. Salomon utilizes their tried-and-true Custom Shell HD polyurethane, enabling easy customization tailored to your foot's specific requirements, creating space where needed while maintaining a secure fit elsewhere. The EL model of the S/Pro Alpha comes with extra features that simplify adjustments by your local boot fitter, making standard modifications quicker and more straightforward. This not only benefits the skier but also keeps boot fitters satisfied, contributing to an improved skiing experience.
