22/23 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A soft beginner boot shaped around women's proportions. Women tend to have a lower calf position, a smaller heel and a narrower foot, so this holds the heel better and eases pressure on the calf.
The dial means you can get in and out quickly with gloves on when it's cold. With only one dial, though, you can't tighten the instep and ankle separately.

What the review liked
- ✓Designed around women's proportions, so there's less heel lift and less calf pressure
- ✓The dial tightens quickly and evenly with gloves on
- ✓Very soft, which makes it easy for a first-time rider
What the review found lacking
- —Hard to run the instep tight and the ankle loose
- —Very soft, so it isn't suited to speed or carving
- —If the dial cable snaps, it's hard to fix on the hill
