Fischer RC4 Podium RD Ski Boots - Mondo 26/26.5 - 130 Flex (New, 2019)

The Fischer RC4 Podium RD 130 is a "race plug" boot—a specialized piece of equipment designed for competitive racers and elite-level experts. Built with World Cup geometry, this boot is engineered for high-speed precision and maximum power transfer. Unlike recreational boots, the "RD" (Race Dept) shell features thicker walls and a notoriously narrow last (92mm or less depending on sizing/manual adjustment), designed to be grinded and punched by a professional bootfitter to match the exact contours of your foot.For 2019, the boot features a striking yellow and black aesthetic and utilizes Fischer's high-performance TPU shell material, ensuring consistent flex behavior across varying temperatures—so it won't feel like a brick in the morning and a sneaker in the afternoon.
