Lange SX 90 Women's Ski Boots 2018

Lange is renowned for making no-nonsense race machines, but the company's softened its stance a bit—literally. Lange's new, more accessible kicks, like the SX 90 Women's Ski Boot, are opening up the Lange line to everyone. Unlike the seriously stiff chargers that made Lange famous, the SX 90 is a gentler, friendlier beast, with a comfortable 102mm last that won't squeeze your feet to death, a soft instep insert that makes slipping your boots on and off breezy, and Thinsulate-packed liners that keep your toes toasty from your first morning groomer to the last tree run of the day.

Lange wasn't about to opt for comfort at the cost of performance, though. The SX 90 features the same mono-injected construction as top-end Langes, because it provides the smoothest and most consistent flex in a variety of temperatures, and features the same lock-down four-buckle design that serves up the bombproof control that made Lange famous. Inside the shell, the heat-moldable liner will conform precisely to your foot for a snug, pressure-free fit, and the short cuff and one-piece collar contour to your calves for comfort and reduced shin bang, so you can cruise groomers, surf cold smoke, and zip through the trees from the first bell 'til the last.
