Black Diamond, Scarpa, Garmont, Dynafit touring ski boots

Freeride-Ski boots

The freeride boot has an inner boot made from extremely elastic, durable material with additional absorbtion qualities from FSE in the tongue, shaft, toe and heel, as well as a bottom plate of rubber.

Shock absorbtion is therefore increased compared to a piste ski boot.

Tour-ski boot

Tour ski boots are made especially for the climb, which is why they softer than a freeride boot.   Additionally they are fitted with a mechanism, enabling movement in the shaft to make walking easier.   Some touring boots are more adapted for climbing, and are lighter and softer; or for downhill skiing which are harder.
