Train or race. The X8 Skate women's ski boot is aimed at fitness-oriented skiers and young racing skiers. The race-ski-inspired construction combines technology with our athlete-tested X-ium range. The women's fit offers more space for the foot and lower leg and features an integrated heel counter, flared cuff and reduced ankle volume for greater precision and comfort. The low sole developed for skating ensures a natural rolling effect for efficient skating, while the firm grip and thermoformable design provide a precise, enveloping fit for ultimate comfort and control.
