Speedmachine 120 Ski Boot

Nordica's Speedmachine series consists of masterfully crafted ski boots that thrive at high speeds whether you're careening down couloirs, carving up corduroy, or bombing through moguls. The Speedmachine 120 is the second-stiffest ski boot in that series, and it best-suits most intermediate-to-advanced riders and heavier skiers. Its Tri Force Shell Construction reduces weight for this new season's model without inhibiting the solid flex that Speedmachines are known for, and it now has a Weather Shield gusset that keeps your foot comfortably dry on powder days.

It's hard to ski fast when your feet hurt, so Nordica equipped this Speedmachine with Infrared technology that assists boot-fitters with molding the boot to your specific footshape. Combine this with a moderate 100mm last width, and the fit should feel comfy yet precise enough to throw down challenging lines. The liner features cork paneling to provide some customized comfort whether you go to a boot-fitter or not. The dual-density High Traction sole pads deliver grip right out of the box, and you can replace them when they wear down. They're compatible with alpine bindings.
