The Salomon S/Max 120 men’s ski boots are a marvel of modern boot technology. It’s incredible how now boot companies and manufacturers can make a low-volume boot that’s capable of fitting average feet without losing any of its original fit and intent. This is mostly due to the Salomon Custom Shell and moldable liner that can both be heated and stretched to fit your foot by a professional boot fitter. This way, the 98-mm forefoot last and low-volume fit over the top of the foot and in the ankle doesn’t have to be a one-size fits few type of scenario. The plastic is fantastic for that moldable application, and makes it easier to not only stretch the whole thing, but also spot stretches as well. The 120-flex rating is stiff enough for most advanced and expert skiers to maximize their time out there on the hill. From steeps and trees to bumps and couloirs, the Salomon S/Max 120 is the perfect boot for the job. While you used to have to give up either fit or performance to achieve these lofty ski goals, Salomon has made it a lot easier and more accessible for people with average-shaped feet to get into something tighter and more responsive. It’s all about precision and control in the ski boot world, and the Salomon S/Max 120 has it all and then some. Feel free to flex into the boot and you’ll get the appropriate kick back for all of your skiing needs.
