You're meeting your posse at the lift line at nine, but you and your touring partner are up early and the avy report is looking good might as well spin a couple backcountry laps before hitting the resort. The Lange Men's XT 120 Ski Boots have a skiwalk mode that transitions at the flick of a switch, and an ultra grip rubber sole to make certain you won't be slipping around on any rocks, no matter how dark it is when you start your trek.

The XT 120 is made with a combination of two top shelf plastics, giving the boots a powerful and progressive flex, so you won't feel like you've sacrificed an ounce of performance for the added convenience of a walk mode. The cuff is composed of a stiff polyolefin plastic, while the shell material is a polyether material, which makes it a touch more forgiv..
