About
Shift Alpha BOA 130
The Shift Alpha BOA 130 is Salomon's freeride boot with alpine-style downhill performance, built to climb and to ski. It has a 130 flex rated hard and a narrow 98 mm last, and is aimed at advanced skiers with narrow feet.
A FreeSpine links cuff and shell for power, while the Twin Lock ski/walk system with a PowerWedge changes the range of motion and power transmission between walking and skiing. The BOA Fit System and ExoBelt wrap the foot and hold the heel, frictionless pivots let the cuff rotate on the climb, and GripWalk soles come as standard.
