Description
The Salomon S/LAB Classic BOA boot represents a revolution in the world of cross-country ski racing. It's the first high-end classic boot to incorporate the BOA® tightening system to replace traditional laces, offering a millimetric fit and unrivalled energy transmission.
Here's why this model is currently the absolute benchmark for high-performance classic style:
1. The BOA® Fit System
This is the major change. Instead of pulling on laces, you turn a micrometric knob.
-
Precision: you can adjust the fit step by step, even when skiing or wearing gloves.
-
Wrap: The BOA system doesn't just pull on the top of the foot; it wraps the whole foot evenly, eliminating pressure points.
-
Heel hold: The heel hold is designed to anchor the heel perfectly to the bottom of the boot, preventing slippage when pushing off.
2. Carbon construction and flexibility
-
Carbon Classic chassis: The bottom of the shoe uses a carbon chassis that offers exceptional torsional rigidity (the foot doesn't "twist" sideways).
-
Natural Flex: Despite the carbon, the sole is designed to be extremely flexible in the forefoot. This is crucial in classic skiing for smooth foot roll and efficient thrust.
-
Featherweight: This is one of the lightest shoes on the market, considerably reducing effort over long distances (ski marathons).
3. Comfort and protection
-
S/LAB lining: A liner fitted like a second skin, very thin to maximize sensations with the ski.
-
ClimaSalomon membrane™: Waterproof, breathable protection that keeps your feet dry, even in slushy snow or during intense exertion.
-
Seamless construction: Reduces the risk of chafing and blisters.

Fitting advice
The S/LAB Classic BOA has a very snug "Racing" fit. If you have a very wide foot, it's advisable to try it with your usual running socks, as it leaves little empty space to ensure direct transmission of movement.
