BOA® FIT SYSTEM
The patented BOA® Fit System consists of three integral parts: a micro-adjustable dial, super-strong lightweight laces, and low friction lace guides. Each unique configuration is engineered for effortless precision delivering a connected, fast, customized, and durable fit, and is backed by The BOA® Guarantee. The Alien system is an exclusive floating system located under the waterproof fabric cover that contracts downwards on the instep of the liner as the dial is tightened, precisely controlling volume and fit.
GRILAMID® FG LFT CUFF
Stiffness and rigidity courtesy of a more economical solution versus full carbon fiber. The cuff features overlapping front panels, for good wrapping over the front of the shin and is closed by a single action Dyneema® cord interfacing with the ski/walk mechanism to speed transitions.

This special polyamide offers a good compromise between stiffness and rebound; allowing a gradual transmission of the impulses from the boot to the ski during the ski phase.
Allows the positioning and attachment of the boot easily and securely. The lateral grooves allow for a smooth and quick insertion. Patented and tested.

Sizing
All SCARPA ski boots use Mondo sizing. SCARPA ski boots break on the half size, this means that a half size shares the same shell length as the whole size above it but the liners are lasted for each 1/2 size. For example, a 25.5 and 26.0 are the same shell size but the respective liners come pre-molded to the half size. Some skiers may want to downsize up to 1 full Mondo size, depending upon personal preference.
