Description of Lange Freeride 110 Ski Boot - Women's:
Freeskier Magazine gave the Lange Women’s Freeride 110 Ski Boot its Editors' Choice Award for amazing all-mountain performance and sexy feminine figure. A shock-absorbing footbed, a freeride-specific liner, and a burly flex (110) make for an insane freeride weapon. The Freeride 110's Visco shock-absorbing footbeds protect your feet from nerve-piercing landings while you're dropping cliffs and tearing up the backcountry steeps. The High Performance Freeride Liner's forgiving foot volume maintains comfort for your foot in changing terrain while retaining a strong aggressive feel. Lange’s women’s-specific fits like a serf’s glass slipper—but this high-performance slipper ain’t for dancin’.
I'm thrilled with this boot. I've only taken it out a few times so far this season, but I'll tell you, the comfort is unparalleled by any other high-performance boot I've tried. The stiffness is great for an assertive female skier. It looks lovely too. One thing I really appreciate is the roomier toe box. At first I thought I got a size too big, but after I skied on them several times, it seemed that the performance was spot-on, and yet I could still wiggle my toes up and down. I've suffered frostbite on my toes in the past when ski boots restricted their circulation too much. I really appreciate this fit. I'm carving fast turns and feeling totally in control. Can't wait to take them into more technical terrain.
I bought these after I packed out my Lange World Cup 100 shell (Junior racing boot). Narrow fit; exactly what you'd expect from a Lange. Drive the boot forward like you should, they're powerhorses. Get in the backseat, you'll feel it in your shins and calves. I switched out the manufacturer's soles with some I had in my other boots first day and it immediately eliminated the pressure points I felt during initial fitting. Great boot for a narrow-footed, aggressive chick.
