Salomon Siam 7 SNS Pilot CF Ski Boot – Women’s

When you’re heading out on a daylong tour, don’t start by cramming your foot into a men’s boot—slip into the Salomon Women’s Siam 7 Pilot CF Ski Boot for comfortable, women-specific fit that doesn’t lack performance. What makes a Women-specific fit? Well, the heel is slightly narrower, the boot has a higher instep volume, and it utilizes Salomon’s Quicklace system with a hook-and-loop strap to ensure a snug, comfortable fit. Parts of the liner are thermo-moldable, too, if you’re looking to take comfort and performance to the next level.

The Siam’s about more than just a comfortable fit—it features Salomon’s SNS Pilot 2 Touring sole, which has a two-axle pivot system for excellent control and flex while you’re striding, and it grips well on the ground, making the often icy walk to the Nordic track a bit more secure. The semi-rigid cuff offers plenty of rear and lateral support, and the Touring Soft insole keeps your feet comfortable during long days exploring off the trail.

Fischer RCS Skate Boot – Women’s

You’ve been working on your skate technique for a while now, and while you’ve improved, you’re starting to realize your hand-me-down boots aren’t going to take you to the next level. The Fischer Women’s RCS Skate Boot performs better than an entry level boot, thanks to its race fit and upgraded features. This boot has a lower stand height to increase stability, while the hard chassis increases power transfer for a more efficient use of your energy. The hinged polymer cuff has a crosslink to further resist torsional forces as it reduces lateral movement. As you work, the Triple F membrane allows water vapor to escape without letting snow melt in, to keep your foot dry and comfortable. Comfort Guard insulation works to keep the feeling in your toes during breaks, so dropping temperatures won’t scare you away from the track.

Rossignol X3 FW Touring Boot – Women’s

Nordic touring boots often skew heavy and burly, but Rossignol’s X3 FW Touring Boot is a lighter, nimbler sort of adventurer. It’s cut low, to keep weight down and maneuverability up, but still offers plenty of trail-conquering and trail-breaking support via a 3D-injected cuff, 3D heel counter, and solid but flexible NNN-compatible T4 sole. Spending long hours on your feet is part of the fun of leaving the trail behind, but it’s made a lot more fun with the X3’s heat-moldable Thermo Adjustable Fit liner, which conforms to the contours of your feet for increased warmth and comfort. A fur-lined collar adds extra warmth and softness, while the zippered PVC lace cover helps keep water out of your socks so your feet don’t freeze. Rossignol also decked the X3 out with a hook-and-loop strap tp close up the ankle, and its Speedlace Lock internal drawcord closure to cinch the liner down snugly and securely.

Fischer Inspire My Style EF Ski – Women’s

Crisp winter mornings call for gliding across smooth track in the Fischer Inspire My Style EF Ski. It’s the lightest women’s cruising ski Fischer makes to get you moving on the track. Its wood core with air channels keeps the weight of the skis down while the basalt fibers in the core provide ideal flex regardless of temperature. A power layer, high-pressure laminate comprised of natural fibers and resin also notably lower the weight. Aside from its weight, the most notable feature of the Inspire ski is that it is equipped with Efficient Forward technology. This technology delivers a forgiving kick action that has you gliding effortlessly across fresh corduroy. Its Vario Crown base enhances this glide by utilizing a combination of crowns that work together for efficient power transfer and a smooth glide as you get your workout in on brisk winter mornings.

Salomon RS Vitane Prolink Skate Boot – Women’s

Step into the Salomon RS Prolink Vitane Carbon Skate Boot and be rewarded with performance and comfort for your long training session. This low-volume, narrow heel boot was engineered for skiers with slightly narrower feet who still demand top performance from their gear. The Proline Vitane delivers with its lightweight, high-stretch carbon skating plate in the sole that stores energy and releases it when unweighted, driving energy into the ski to keep you flying down the track. Its carbon 3D Energyzer cuff is designed to provide better muscle relaxation and faster ski return giving you better edge control and easier kick with less fatigue so you can extend your training sessions.

Comfort is equally as important as performance in the design of the Prolink Vitane and as such, it features a super-customizable fit. A thermo-moldable foam liner allows you to have a completely custom fit for each of your feet and with an adjustable heel strap, you are able to dial in your fit for maximum comfort and performance. Its SensiFit Overlap construction has semi-soft wings that enclose the foot from both sides, locking in place with a precise one-pull Quicklace system that is protected by a zippered lace cover. Topping it all off is a thermoformed racing insole that provides custom foot support for hard-charging skiing.
