Salomon S/PRO SUPRA S BOA 85 W

A women-specific all-mountain boot built for intermediate skiers who want adaptable, customizable fit without fuss. The BOA dial on the lower cuff works with two aluminium buckles above to let you fine-tune pressure across your foot and lower leg, while the cuff-alignment pivot adjusts how the boot wraps your shin—you only dial in once and adjust from there. The shell and S/Pro CF liner both heat-mold, so a bootfitter can shape them precisely to your foot, ankle and heel. The Exowrap construction locks your heel and ankle in place through turns, and the Women Calf Adjuster gives you +11 mm of perimeter and +4 mm of height—useful if your calf is narrower or more vertical than the standard last. Flex 85 means a medium stiffness: responsive enough to feel direct but forgiving on variable snow and uneven terrain.

Why we rate it

The BOA system on this boot is genuinely easy to use, even in thick gloves. One click of the dial micro-adjusts without fumbling with buckles, and the dual-buckle backup means you can tighten different sections of the cuff independently if you need to. The heat-moldable shell and liner combination is a step up from boots with only a moldable liner: a bootfitter can customize the shell's volume and the liner's padding, which makes a real difference if your foot is anywhere outside the medium-width norm. The sensiFIT insert on the outside of the shell wraps your instep anatomically, making step-in smoother than on some boots. Weighs a reasonable 1721 g per unit.

Who it's for

Intermediate women skiers doing mainly on-piste and light off-piste. The 100 mm last (medium width) and medium instep volume suit a standard female foot shape; the Women Calf Adjuster is genuinely useful if your calf tends to be narrower. Not a race boot—Flex 85 is responsive but not stiff—and no walk mode, so keep it for resort days.

Fit and feel

100 mm last, medium instep volume, Flex 85. The Boot feels snug around the ankle thanks to Exowrap, and the heel pocket sits deep—minimal movement side-to-side. The cuff aligns with a riveted pivot, which you dial in for leg angle, so the boot adapts to your shin rather than forcing you into a standard position. Thermosoft footbed is gently shaped and comfortable for a full day. If you have a very wide foot or high volume, a bootfitter can heat-mold both shell and liner to open up space; if you're narrow, they can pack it tighter with additional padding.

From the fitting room: Book a heat-mould appointment with a bootfitter before your first day; even though these shells are designed for custom shaping, a proper mould makes the difference between a good boot and one that feels like it was made for your foot.
