Low volume, softer flexing boots that still have good performance are not easy to find. Narrower boots tend to be stiffer and softer boots are often wider, so the new S/MAX 70 W from Salomon is going to make lighter skiers with slim feet very happy indeed. The shell is thinner than previous versions to save weight but uses a PU plastic so as not to compromise precision. The liner can be heat moulded during the fitting to ensure the best fit, and the use of pre-shaped seamless construction improves warmth and comfort as well saving weight.
