The Fischer RC4 The Curv GT 120 Vacuum Walk is an alpine ski boot crafted for skiers who want a direct connection to their skis and a confident ride down groomed slopes. It’s aimed at advanced skiers who value precision and responsiveness without extra bulk.
This boot comes with a 96 mm last and low internal volume, giving a snug fit that minimizes any unwanted foot movement. With a flex rating of 120, the shell is firm under flexion, which translates into crisp edge-to-edge transitions and reliable power transfer. At around 1750 grams per boot (size 26.5), it strikes a balance between solid downhill performance and manageable weight for carrying or hiking short pitches.
