If you don't need the granite-solid 130 index rating on the award-winning Nordica Hot Rod Ski Boot, the Nordica Beast 10 is your comfortable alternative with plenty of flex for all-mountain experts and fanatical freeskiers. With a soft flex rating of 80, Nordica's Beast 10 introduces more flex into a ski boot that has always sold faster than any other offering long before New Years Day. It's still made with the same ultra-comfortable Performance PFP Comfort Fit lining and footbed as the stiffer Beast incarnations but this version has a narrower Booster® 35-mm. Energy Driver strap that replaces the 45-mm. wide body Booster® Energy Driver Plus Strap. What this means is that Nordica retained the all-conditions performance features from previous Beast boots while softening up the flex and enhancing the overall comfort. This includes the superb universal fit and forefoot width that averages a mere millimeter narrower than Nordica's full-comfort, All Round Sport GTS boots. Up top along the front of the cuff you'll find Nordica's HP Slide-In System, a pivoting, sliding shell construction that enhances easy entry while keeping your foot retained at a perfect 45-degree angle. Despite the cool transparent plastic, the HP Slide-In System maintains efficient operation at low temperatures, so you'll never find yourself in a frozen jam. Pick up your Beast Ski Boots before the best sizes are sold out.
