Flex & Fit

• Flex Rating: 95 – Supportive, medium-stiff flex designed for intermediate to advanced women skiers seeking responsive control without the demanding stiffness of higher-flex performance boots.

• Last Width: 100 mm – Medium-volume fit designed for average-width feet, balancing comfortable forefoot space with secure foot retention.

• Fit Feel: Anatomically supportive fit with a comfortable forefoot, secure heel retention, and smooth, progressive forward flex.

• Fit Customization: Lange's thermoformable Core Custom 2 liner with Auxetic technology allows professional bootfitters to personalize the fit for individual foot shapes.

• Women's Specific Cuff: Shorter, anatomically shaped cuff accommodates women's lower-leg and calf proportions for improved comfort and natural stance alignment.

Key Technologies & Materials

• Assisted Performance System: Lange's innovative mechanical design uses Dual Pivot and Suspension Blade technology to amplify skier input and improve energy transfer. The system is engineered to deliver more power and control with less physical effort, helping skiers maintain consistent performance throughout the day.

• Dual Pivot Technology: Two strategically positioned pivot points create a mechanical advantage that improves cuff engagement and energy transfer. This design allows the skier to generate responsive power with less effort than a conventional single-pivot boot construction.

• Suspension Blade Technology: External suspension blade connects the upper cuff and lower shell, helping absorb vibrations while delivering smooth, progressive flex and responsive rebound. This technology improves snow feel and creates a more controlled connection between the skier and ski.

• Dual Core Shell Construction: Lange's advanced polyurethane shell construction strategically combines materials of different densities to improve energy transmission, elasticity, and responsiveness while maintaining comfort.

• Core Custom 2 Liner with Auxetic Technology: Anatomically designed, thermoformable liner uses specialized materials that adapt to individual foot shapes during the fitting process. Its seamless one-piece construction provides consistent support and helps reduce pressure points.

• PrimaLoft Insulation: Lightweight synthetic insulation helps retain warmth in cold and damp conditions, improving comfort throughout long days on the mountain.

• Women's Specific Cuff Design: Shorter, tulip-shaped cuff follows the natural contours of women's lower legs, reducing unwanted calf pressure while providing supportive downhill control.

• Shin Control Tongue: Women's specific asymmetrical tongue helps distribute pressure across the shin, improving comfort and reducing concentrated pressure during forward flex.

• Four Micro-Adjustable Buckles: Traditional four-buckle closure provides secure foot retention and precise tension adjustments throughout the foot and lower leg.

• 40 mm Power Strap: Adjustable upper cuff strap improves shin contact and provides additional support for efficient energy transfer.

• GripWalk Soles: Pre-mounted rockered rubber soles improve walking traction and comfort around the resort when used with compatible ski bindings.

Performance

• Efficient Power Transmission: Lange's Assisted Performance System amplifies skier input through Dual Pivot and Suspension Blade technology, providing responsive downhill control with less effort.

• Smooth, Progressive Flex: Supportive 95 flex and suspension-inspired shell construction create predictable forward movement and consistent energy transfer throughout each turn.

• Improved Vibration Absorption: Suspension Blade technology helps absorb impacts and vibrations from uneven terrain, providing a smoother ride and improved snow feel.

• Responsive Edge Control: Dual Core construction and supportive cuff geometry provide efficient lateral energy transfer for confident carving and precise edge-to-edge transitions.

• Reduced Physical Effort: The mechanical advantage of Lange's Assisted Performance System helps skiers maintain consistent control while reducing the effort required to engage the boot.

• All-Mountain Versatility: Designed for groomed runs, firm snow, variable conditions, and challenging resort terrain where comfort, precision, and responsiveness are essential.

Comfort & Convenience

• Medium-volume 100 mm last provides a balance of comfortable forefoot space and secure foot retention for average-width feet.

• Thermoformable Core Custom 2 liner allows professional customization to accommodate individual foot shapes and improve comfort.

• Auxetic liner technology helps create consistent anatomical contact and reduces unwanted pressure points.

• PrimaLoft insulation helps maintain warmth and comfort during cold winter conditions.

• Women's specific cuff geometry accommodates natural calf contours and reduces excessive lower-leg pressure.

• Shin Control tongue helps distribute pressure evenly across the shin for improved comfort during aggressive skiing.

• Suspension Blade technology helps absorb vibrations and reduce harsh feedback from uneven snow conditions.

• Micro-adjustable buckles and 40 mm power strap allow precise closure adjustments throughout the day.

• GripWalk soles improve walking traction and provide a more natural walking motion around ski resorts and parking areas.
