The Salomon RC8 Classic Boot wraps the foot in a SensiFit(TM) upper that cradles it from the midsole up through the lacing, so the fit stays snug without pinching anywhere. Its Classic Flex chassis pairs an easy-flexing forefoot for the kick with a stiffer rear section, giving the boot the stability to hold an edge without fighting the skier's stride. It's a straightforward cross-country ski boot built for skiers who want a secure fit they can trust mile after mile. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've skied through slush and wet tracks in these and my feet stayed dry the whole way, thanks to the waterproof zipper sealing right over the laces. The Thinsulate lining underneath holds onto warmth even after the snow starts working its way up my ankle."
