The Salomon S/Max 110 (model 19/20) is a high-performance alpine ski boot aimed at experienced skiers looking for precise edge control and responsiveness on the slopes. With its snug fit and responsive flex, it’s designed to deliver reliable power transmission from leg to ski.
The boot’s low-volume design and 98–104 mm last provide a close, performance-oriented fit, reducing unwanted shell movement and enhancing feedback through turns. A flex rating of 110 gives firm support and quick response when carving at higher speeds. At 1780 g per boot, it strikes a balance between robustness and agility, avoiding unnecessary bulk while remaining sturdy enough for demanding runs.
