The Lange Shadow 130 LV GW Ski Boots are certain to shake up the industry, which hasn't seen a dramatic change in the way the stiffest freeride boots are built in decades. In the two-piece overlap division, boots typically had an upper cuff with two pivots and rivets holding the cuff to the shell at the rear. The Shadow breaks new ground in eliminating the rear rivets and using a 2nd Suspension Blade attachment above the calcaneus. The new design promises to add an even more progressive quality to the legendary Lange flex and moderate some of the harshness felt at the limit of both forward and rearward loading. Fit options build on the dialed fit of the previous RX series boots, with the LV remaining 97mm in forefoot width in a 26.5.
