While boots have remained relatively unchanged over the last twenty years, skis have evolved dramatically enabling skiers to ski faster, increase inclination and create greater lateral forces. The Firearrow F1 addresses these new demands with an entirely new 3-piece shell design. It features a new lower shell design that comes up higher on the sides to increase lateral precision and the 45 degree buckle to maximize heel retention. Add to it features like EDT Technology previously only in Nordica’s race boots and an incredible combination of stiffness, progression, and rebound you have a boot with tons of performance in a 100mm last. The 16.0 flex is close to a standard 135 flex which results in a boot that will provide enough performance for the skier who feels comfortable in any terrain.
This men’s ski boot is measured in mondo sizing. The easiest way to determine your size is to
look at the chart below. Locate your
regular shoe size and look down to determine your boot size.
Mondo size can be translated to US sizing fairly
easily. Let’s use 27.5 for example. Add the first 2 numbers together and get a 9,
then move the .5 behind the 9. Therefore
a size 27.5 is relatively a 9.5. It does
get a bit more confusing because skiers typically wear a ski boot that is 1
size smaller than their regular shoes.
So a person who skis in a 27.5 boot will typically wear a 10 or 10.5
shoe. This simply conversion works
almost all the time. It is extremely
rare a person will wear the same size ski boot as regular shoe.
