Rossignol: Women's Xena X6 Ski Boot
Comfort features help beginners and intermediates focus more on the fun and less on their feet.
|
Created specifically for beginning and intermediate female skiers Rossignol's easy-fitting Xena X6 Ski Boots emphasize comfort with enough support for mastering intermediate runs while mixing in a black diamond adventure or two. Unlike a lot of other companies that simply note anatomical differences between men and women Rossignol employs a team of women who specifically address their products through a Feminine Intuitive Technology (F.I.T.). In the Xena X6 Ski Boot these refinements include a women's true specific cuff women's easy entry concept and a women's lasted liner technology. Because women's feet and lower calves are anatomically different from men's the Xena X6 liner is lower and cut out along the back for a better fit. Extra padding along the cuff helps cushion your calves better than unisex ski boots (or boots that claim to be a woman's design but are actually just sized smaller). The Xena boot line is the only women's boot collection that features a special upper cuff that has a backward flare--something Rossignol calls "a distinct tulip." This scalloped profile is lower than conventional women's boots so it accommodates the natural shape of your calf better than most ski boots. To make this new design work Rossignol added a couple of innovations. The top buckle is lower on the Xena X6 boot than traditional women's ski boots so you get a better fit without any pinching at the closure. Rossignol also applied their X-shaped bi-injection cockpit design with a stiffer plastic. The two types of plastics give you a progressive flex in the boot so the power that you transmit from your feet to your skis is more responsive than other boots where you need to "wrench" your feet to make your skis turn. Softer plastic up top along the cuff also helps you slip your feet into the plush Thermo Fit liner (that Thermo Fit liner features heat-moldable EVA foam and it can be molded as many times as you want until you know you have the perfect fit!)
