Salomon released its 2026/27 S/Pro Alpha C Boa Ski Boot with a “reinvented ankle wrap and energy transmission system,” with a 98mm-last.
“This is the most direct, progressive and smooth alpine boot Salomon has ever designed,” said Lauren Samuels, Salomon’s North American Alpine category manager. “The evolution of the S/Pro Alpha C Boa is all about giving aggressive skiers more power and control without sacrificing comfort. We reworked this boot from the inside out to deliver a high-performance design that responds instinctively on snow thanks to the new ExoDrive and better heel hold, enhanced energy transmission and a fit that can be dialed in with absolute precision.”
Featuring a cuff-mounted Boa Fit System and two lower-shell buckles for micro-adjustment and independent tightening control, the S/Pro Alpha C Boa introduces Salomon’s ExoDrive construction and Powerlink lower pivot.
- The third cuff overlap design and ExoDrive construction deliver heel retention by enhancing wrapping around the ankle and allowing the boot to flex as one system. The 3D instep shell anchors the buckle system to the cuff, allowing easy step-in and avoiding foot compression.
- A lower pivot point and increased cuff surface optimize direct energy transfer to the ski. By amplifying leverage and eliminating energy loss, this enhances the on snow feel.
- The reworked S/Pro CF Expert liner, with 4D construction, premium finishes and the new edgeless Custom Tongue 2.0, offers personalization options for a tailored fit. The use of a thicker shell design to reinforce key internal zones, paired with lower-density material to reduce unwanted vibrations, provides smoothness and comfort.
The boot is available in 4 flex patterns: S/Pro Alpha C Boa 130, 120, 110, and 100 for Men and 115, 105, 95, and 85 for Women. The rest of the line will be available later this year.
