With a flex of 110, this boot is geared towards lighter-weight skiers or those who prefer an alternative to the ultra-stiff yet popular Hammer 130. A three-piece design, the Hammer 110 offers a natural, progressive flex, due in part to an interchangeable tongue that allows you to swap out for a stiffer flex, if needed. The boot’s pivot point is ergonomically correct, following the natural hinge of the ankle flex to ensure precise weight distribution and responsiveness. Additionally, Head utilizes a gel shin protector on the inner boot tongue and a shock absorbing rear spoiler, footbed, wedge and toe box to defend against ending up on the wrong end of any high-impact landings.
