Lange Shadow 120 MV GW — Men's All-Mountain Ski Boot

Q.Should I get a 120 or 130 flex ski boot?
A 120 flex suits most strong advanced and expert skiers. It gives you plenty of support for driving the ski while still letting you flex the boot easily in bumps, trees and softer snow. A 130 is better for heavier skiers or those who ski very aggressively at high speed and want maximum support. Keep in mind that boots get stiffer in cold temperatures, so a 120 can feel noticeably firmer on a cold January day at Big White than it does in the shop.

Q.What does "MV" mean on Lange ski boots?
MV stands for medium volume. The Shadow MV models are built on a 100mm last, which fits average-width feet. Lange also makes LV (low volume) versions on a narrower 97mm last for slimmer feet. The flex, technology and liner family are the same across both versions; the shell shape is what changes.

Q.What is Lange's Dual Core plastic and why does it matter?
Dual Core is Lange's method of injecting two different plastics into the shell at the same time. The harder plastic goes to the heel, spine and lower shell, where stiffness gives you power and precision. The softer plastic goes to the areas that wrap your foot and lower leg, which improves comfort and makes the boot easier to get on and off. You get stiffness where you need it and comfort everywhere else, without trading one for the other.
