For tough climbs with skis strapped to your backpack and hectic descents down the couloirs, these boots have been stripped of all unnecessary weight as much as possible. Salomon's QST line of boots are kind of the equivalent of trail running shoes. Materials used in the strap and shell provide flexibility and stiffness where needed, while the overlapping tongue increases comfort and performance. Finally, Surelock technology keeps your boot firmly in ski mode when it comes time to hit the slopes, while the heat-moldable shell and liner let you achieve a custom fit.
