Nordica’s third generation Speedmachine alpine boot arrives with an array of customization features. The idea behind the new boot is to get a superior, locked-in feel between the ankle, liner and shell with a slightly relaxed forefoot. Nordica achieves this with the new 3Force liner, which uses a customizable black cork to fill in empty space around the ankle and strategically placed EVA foam inserts to dial in the fit. The liner also has an adjustable tongue height to keep the shin snug against the boot cuff. On the outside, the 3Force shell blends a hard honeycomb plastic structure with softer shell materials for improved lateral performance and feel, and can be set to a stiffer or softer flex. The updated Speedmachine 3 is an adaptable all-mountain boot that can accommodate an array of skiers with its 100 mm last and variable-fit liner.
