Boot-making is Lange’s singular focus so it should come as no surprise that the Lange XT3 130, the newest men’s freeride boot in its fleet, encompasses all the technology you’ll need for multi-situational riding. Its processes rooted deeply in racing, Lange employs a performance-focused construction that’s marked, specifically, by a Dual Core Construction that features a softer plastic sandwiched between harder plastic. This plastic compresses and expands as you flex through the boot, providing increased absorption, energy and rebound. A completely customizable, three-density liner comes standard on the Lange XT3 130, too. When it comes time to jaunt out of bounds, a metal-on-metal locking mechanism keeps you committed to walk or ski mode, an enhanced boot board helps retain warmth and a 53-degree range of motion enables lengthy strides on the skin track.
