Scarpa Women's F1 Ski Boot

In northern Italy, skiing isn’t just a recreational pastime, it’s serious business. Nobody knows this better than the master boot-crafters at Scarpa, who have put many decades of serious research and design into producing the most versatile boot possible -- the F1. Splitting the difference between an efficiency-focused, uphill-minded boot and a hard-charging four-buckler, the F1 uses reinforced Grilamid plastic and a carbon-paneled cuff to direct power from the skier into their turns, no matter how variable or challenging the snow is. The ski/walk mechanism allows for maximal range of motion on the ups while keeping the boot flexing progressively for the downs. Whether you’re a freeride-minded skier needing to lighten up, or a diehard skimo racer looking for your fun-day-out setup, the F1 is the Goldilocks boot to keep your feet happy all season long.
