Nordica HF S 130 GW

The HF S 130 is a medium-wide performance boot designed for skiers who want a secure fit without faffing with buckles every run. The hands-free HF S closure system locks you in instantly and releases with one motion, saving time and frustration on the hill.

Why we rate it

The 3D Custom Cork liner moulds to your foot's exact shape over a few days of skiing, offering both comfort and a locked-in feel. Primaloft insulation keeps your feet warm without bulk, and the infrared technology in the shell means you can customize the fit further with gentle heat-moulding if needed. The redesigned cable buckle at 45 degrees gives instant release, and the adjustable cuff profile can be opened up by up to 8 mm for different leg volumes. At 1780 g per boot, it's reasonably light for the stiffness on offer.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced skiers with medium-wide feet who ski varied terrain and want a boot that works hard but doesn't demand constant adjustment. The precision fit and moulding capability suit skiers who value customization and will get the most from the adjustable features.

Fit and feel

100 mm last width (medium-wide) gives enough room for regular to broad feet without excess slop. Medium-high volume through the foot and calf. Flex 130 is stiff enough for edge control and precision, but still yields enough to absorb bumps and chop. The moulding liner and adjustable cuff mean the boot adapts to your leg shape, not the other way around.
