The Lange XT3 110 LV women’s AT ski boots are exactly what happens when a race boot and a touring boot have offspring. Lange has been making incredible race and high-performance alpine boots for decades, so it’s only natural that they translate their skills into the backcountry world as well. Keeping their 97-mm forefoot last and legendary ankle hold intact, they ventured into the adventure world by adding a sweet walk mode, a friction-free hinge, and GripWalk soles with tech fittings. This way, the uphill ski touring aspect of the sport is matched very nicely with the downhill performance of the boots. When you’re in walk mode, with the soles, and the hinge, it feels like you’re wearing a high-top sneaker (except for the low-volume fit, but that has a place on the downhill). It’s an incredibly smooth and efficient walk mode, and will make the uphills either at the resort or in the backcountry feel like a breeze. But the downhill is where these boots really light it up. With the low-volume fit and the 110-flex, the boots are able to charge down some of the burliest lines on the planet with confidence. From deep powder to firm groomers, the Lange XT3 110 LV women’s ski boots can literally handle everything that the mountain can throw at them.
