Lange Men’s Shadow 130 LV Ski Boot 2024-2025

Description

Shadow has a single mission: to return all the energy stored by skiers each day into enhanced rebound, power, and precision. To achieve this, Lange introduced the first ski boots with assisted performance and suspension technology. Shadow represents a new era of all-mountain ski boots, combining performance and comfort. These boots are designed for those who are fully committed—driven by passion, like a shadow that follows them everywhere.

Assisted Performance means you get more out of what you put in: less energy input, more power output, greater absorption, more comfortable skiing, and improved on-snow contact. This mechanical advantage is achieved through two innovations: the Dual Pivot and Suspension Blade systems.

Dual Pivot: With one leverage point and two pivot points placed far apart, this design maximizes the mechanical advantage. The more effort you put in, the more power you get out, amplifying energy into power. It engages the full length of the boot, transmitting power with less effort, leading to assisted efficiency.

Suspension Blade: This feature provides excellent connection between the upper and lower cuffs, allowing them to move together. It absorbs energy without fixed points, ensuring a smooth and consistent flex. The flex can be personalized with four different stiffness options, enabling adjustable performance.

For comfort, the boots feature a new one-piece liner with seamless padding, and an asymmetrical toe box for improved fit. The Auxetic Technology further enhances fit by providing better thermoforming efficiency, offering an excellent fit straight out of the box and enabling further customization.

The Shadow 130 LV is tailored for narrow feet and expert or advanced skiers seeking efficiency and performance without requiring the same level of physical effort. Suitable for all terrains and skiing conditions, these boots also feature a GripWalk footbed for enhanced walkability and grip. The Reactive Boost Tongue ensures top-tier performance.

Technology
ASSISTED PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
Shadow is the first skiboot with an assisted performance & suspension system. This system, combined by two innovations: dual pivot and suspension blade, allow you to get more out into you putt in, it’s an assisted efficiency. It’s about transfer the power with less effort. We obtain 26% of rebound in more, using less human energy and phycical abilities.
DUAL PIVOT
On traditional boots on the market, you have a pivot point and two fix points very concentrated to each other. With the new shadow, you putt those fix points very far away from eachother, so create mechanical advantage, you emplify the energy in power. You will also engage the full length of the boot, instead of concentrated part.
SUSPENSION BLADE
The suspension blade is an external blade, and the upper cuff comes in between. With this new innovation, we have an excellent and smooth connection between upper and lower, to move together. That get you more absorption and suspension but also more power energy into your skiing. The upper elastomere adjust the flex feel upper part of the turn and also the snap and rebound.
ADJUSTABLE PERFORMANCE – FLEX ADJUST
By putting two elastomers on the two pivot points: below the leverage point and in the top of suspension blade, you have 4 different option of stiffness. You can really personnalize and adjust your skiing. If you prefer to be more solid on the bottom, you can put a stiffer elastomere on the dual pivot, and if you prefer softer on the top you go soft, or do the opposite. You can really play with your performance level.
NEW ONE PIECE LINER
This new liner one piece will give you more comfortability. The padding is one piece, no break from the lower ankle up and no break in fit from lowerfoot to upper, it’s all one piece. This gives you clean and conisstent fit. The fit anatomy follow the foot.
ASYMETRICAL TOE BOX
We added a new thing on our toe box: the shape doesn’t across on the straight line but we created now a curve that create unbelievably comfortable toe box with really no pressure cross the top of the toes.
AUXETIC TECHNOLOGY
Auxetic Technology is a transformation of a bi-dimension material in a 3-dimension material during the thrmoformage. This effect will follow better the foot shapes and an amazing out of the box fit and personalization.
