The Salomon Falcon 9 Ski Boot gives advanced and expert skiers the strength and agility to push their skiing to the next level. With a solid (90) flex and innovative Spaceframe design, the Falcon soars above the competition. Salomon's innovative Spaceframe uses different thicknesses of shell material throughout the boot, employing higher densities at crucial strength points and less material at others. This allows for amazing strength and power transmission without compromising your performance with burdensome weight. The Spaceframe construction also makes for an extremely sensitive feel, for precise control and unprecedented feel as you tear down the mountain. The Falcon 9's customizable My Custom Pro liner gives you amazing comfort without compromising feel and performance.
Bottom Line: The Salomon Falcon 9 Ski Boot is a predator and the mountain is its prey.
This is a fantastic boot for most advanced/expert skiers. I use these with my Volkl AC40 skis, and I'm usually single during winter. I just love to be ripping out there on the slopes. It's such a great feeling to know that my equipment is not what limits me. These boots keep me warm and comfy all day long. Great lateral stiffness for quick response. For an alpine boot, these are very lightweight. I've only owned Salomon boots, they still are the only ones that fit my feet. But don't take my word for it. Read the boot reviews from all the ski mags. Salomon is never a gamble when you're looking to buy a ski boot. One last note, dump your synthetic ski socks and buy Smartwool ski socks. They have superior breathability, and moisture wicking properties. They don't hold odor either. Two pair of Smartwool socks is all you need for a week-long ski trip.
