The minimalist World Cup boot is a serious race boot intended for serious, dedicated racers. This has been stated before but cannot be emphasized enough. The Doberman 150 WC has but one purpose and if the skier is not up to the task at all times-which means from the second the boot is buckled around the feet until the feet are extricated from the pair-it will be to their detriment.

This is a true “plug” boot, boots typically built for elite level racing molded with a “plug” in the mold to make the shells thicker and to be shaped by grinding rather than expanding. As well as the Doberman World Cup 150 fits out of the box you will spend some time with a bootfitter.
