Ski boot reviews of the most reliable ski boot brands for this season.
Ski Boot Review Criteria
When reviewing ski boots, Ray Rice, Surefoot.com, used fit criteria based on the last or shape. Narrow (95mm), Medium (102mm) and Wide (106mm), and flex terms: Stiff (160 to 130), Average (120 to 90) and Soft (80 to 40). The tighter the shell is the quicker and more responsive it will be.
Ski Boot Reviews - 2010/2011 Ski Boots
Atomic Ski Boot Reviews
Atomic notes that traditionally sidecut, waist width, and flex has been key to determining performance. This year, camber profiles has been added to that mix.
Black Diamond
Black Diamond offers alpine ski boots this year based off of many features of the telemark boots they have made previously.
Dalbello Ski Boots
Dalbello is dabbling in all types of fits and flexes now. Their Racing and Freeride ski boot options called the Scorpion models are narrow to medium with their SR 150 World Cup at 95mm, and the SR 130, SF 130 GRIP, SR 110 and SF 110 GRIP all available in a 98mm width.
Fischer Ski Boot Reviews
The Fischer (buy direct) company makes all of its ski boots with their SOMA-TEC stance; basically working with the anatomical opinion of people being duck-footed and possibly helping us ski more comfortably in that stance.
