Product review youtube thumbnail 2

The Salomon S/Pro Supra BOA 120 GW ski boots are a high-performance option for intermidiate – advanced skiers looking for precision, comfort, and versatility. The highlight is that they feature the innovative BOA Fit System; these boots allow for micro-adjustments to ensure a snug and even fit across the lower foot, eliminating pressure points and enhancing comfort compared to traditional buckle systems. This technology also makes the boots easy to adjust on the go, even while wearing gloves, thanks to its intuitive dial mechanism.

The boots are designed with a medium 100mm last that accommodates most foot shapes and can be further customized through heat molding. The ExoWrap construction provides excellent foothold and responsiveness, which is particularly beneficial for aggressive skiing across varied terrain. The adjustable flex allows skiers to tailor the boots to their style and conditions, ranging from hard-packed snow to powder.

Performance-wise, we haven’t yet been on the slopes to fully test BUT… the Supra BOA 120 GW supposedly excels in stability and control. The improved heel hold enhances precision during turns, while the lightweight yet robust design ensures durability and responsiveness. The boots are also praised for their waterproofing and thermal insulation, making them suitable for diverse weather conditions.

And if the customised fit we recieved from Ellis Brigham is anything to go by, these boots live up to the hype.

Ellis Brigham’s service for fitting boots is fantastically detailed. The measure every contour of your feet and mould the insoles & boots accordingly. Combining this with a quality pair of boots and you’re winning.

We can’t wait to get out on the slopes to thoroughly test.

In summary, the Salomon S/Pro Supra BOA 120 GW is a versatile and performance-driven choice for skiers seeking a balance of comfort, adjustability, and control. Its innovative features make it a standout in its category. Whether carving on groomers or tackling off-piste challenges, these boots deliver reliability and style.
