Salomon SHIFT ALPHA BOA® 130 Mens 2025

Developed to help you master any uphill and conquer every downhill, Salomon's SHIFT ALPHA BOA 130 are true freeride boots with alpine capabilities. The FreeSpine connects the cuff and shell for more power and control, while the ExoBelt® and BOA® Fit System deliver micro-adjustable, precision fit engineered to perform in the toughest conditions.

For skiers with a developed technique that are confident carving no matter the difficulty of the slope, the snow conditions, or their speed. 

A flex rating between 100 and 130 for women, and 110 and 140 for men, ideal for advanced-level skiers and those whose morphology requires more sturdy support. 

A last width < or equal to 99 mm (MP 26./26.5) is ideal for skiers with narrow feet and those looking for a tighter fitting, more reactive boot. To identify one's preferred last, the foot's width between the first and the fifth metatarsal bone is measured to gather an overview of the skier's natural foot shape and volume.
