If never compromising on the mountain is everything to you, then the Ridge is your boot. It delivers the perfect fusion of speed mountaineering and free touring. The boot boasts maximum performance and a comfortable fit both uphill and down. On the way to your perfect line, this premium boot scores as a fast, nimble climber. Once on the summit, it transforms into a first-class downhiller with just one-hand handling. The heart of this new ski touring boot is the revolutionary, patented tongue construction, the “Floating Tongue.”On the climb, the tongue glides across the cuff horizontally with your motion. Together with the generous cuff rotation of 70 degrees, that enables a totally natural walking movement without any pressure points or friction. Whether you have a high or low instep, the Floating Tongue ensures long-lasting comfort down to the last meters of climbing. Using an easily operated adjustment dial, you can customize the volume three-dimensionally and very precisely to fit your needs.Downhill, you can bring all you have to the ski with the Ridge. With the relocation of the rear buckle, the Hoji Lock System has been put under tension. Cuff and shell are unified into one fully interlocking unit without any play for the best power transfer. The progressive flex sits at 110, and thus hits the sweet spot between stability, responsiveness, and smooth ski handling. The use of first-class Grilamid with fiberglass makes the boot light, but nevertheless very durable and rigid. Ridge Boot – ready for big challenges.
