Salomon: Men's Mission 5 Ski Boots

Whether you're learning to ski or simply taking it easy on the weekends, you need comfort to appreciate the performance. Salomon's new Mission 5 ski boot is an ideal solution for beginners, intermediates and recreational skiers seeking a fit that won't distract them while carving. It features Salomon's new Xfit thermoformable comfort liner, an innovation that's part of Salomon's advanced shell technology that was previously exclusive to the high-end performance ski boots. Advanced shell technology includes a thinner, Second Skin shell that helps lighten the overall boot without compromising the flex or durability. This is paired with a Second Skin last that improves the comfort with a new liner that's 104-mm. wide along the middle of your foot. To retain performance, Salomon used their proven Spaceframe shell profile, which consists of a asymmetrical, multi-layer construction that gives the boot the ability to flex where you need it and the rigidity in the spots where your boot transmits power to your skis and bindings. While the previous recreational-oriented Performa series had small comfort conveniences, this new Mission lineup includes full upgrades to quality components like the 3D Sensifit step-in cuff and comfortable walkadin pads. The flex rating for the Mission 5 ski boot is a moderate 60, so you have excellent stiffness for familiar black diamond runs and plenty of comfort for cruising blue runs all day long.
