2026 Salomon Shift Alpha Boa 120 Ski Boots

DESCRIPTION: Blurring the lines between freeride and touring, the 2026 Salomon Shift Alpha BOA 120 delivers a progressive flex and precise fit in a hybrid boot that thrives on long approaches and big descents. Built around a narrow last utilizing lightweight materials, it’s made for skiers who demand equal parts power and mobility. Why we like it: You get the downhill confidence of an alpine boot with the uphill efficiency of a touring boot, without sacrificing comfort or fit. Who it's for: Best for advanced freeride and backcountry skiers looking for a true 50/50 resort/touring option that can power a wide ski but still climbs efficiently. Highlights: A blend of polyurethane and PEX gives the shell and cuff a responsive, energetic flex, while the BOA® Fit System ensures even pressure and a secure feel on the lower shell. The My Custom Fit Freeride 4D Pro liner includes lace loops and a walk mode, enhancing the fit for both precision and versatility. With a frictionless pivot, full rubber sole, and 45 mm power strap, this boot is ready for everything from bootpacks to pow laps. Things to consider: This is not a full-on ultralight touring boot; skiers prioritizing uphill speed over downhill power will likely prefer something a bit lighter. Fit & sizing considerations: These run true to size. The Adaptive Fit shell works well for low to medium volume feet and can be heat-molded for more customization. Used only 3 times. In phenomenal condition. Only heat molded once. I had boot heater insoles installed so there is sign of install which is normal and doesn't affect the liner. Original materials and original stock footbeds are included. I have incredibly narrow 97 last feet so heat molding was minimal. I never used them for any touring. Unfortunately, I normally ski a 27.5 boot, which is down a size from my shoe size. However, I tried to go with these 28.5's but they are just not the fit I'm used too. I will be ordering these in a 27.5 once I sell these 28.5's as I love the boot!
