The Ridge Boot pairs a Grilamid shell and cuff with Dynafit's Master Step boot-binding system to hit both ends of a touring boot's usual trade-off, climbing efficiently at 2lb 13. 2oz per boot while still holding a 110 flex on the way down. A 70-degree cuff rotation range, with a dedicated release position for walking, keeps the stride natural on long approaches without giving up the lock-in needed for a committing line. A single HOJI Lock lever closes the whole boot in one motion, so transitions from skin track to ski mode take seconds rather than a fumble with multiple buckles. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I skinned up a long ridgeline in walk mode without a single hot spot, then flipped the HOJI Lock and dropped straight into a steep, technical line. The 110 flex held through every turn like the boot forgot it was built for climbing."
