The 2026 Salomon Shift Alpha BOA 110 Ski Boots are designed for skiers seeking a versatile boot that excels both in the resort and the backcountry. Combining a 110 flex rating with innovative features like the BOA® Fit System and FreeSpine™ technology, these boots offer a blend of comfort, control, and uphill mobility.

Why we like it:

The Shift Alpha BOA 110 stands out for its precise fit and adaptability. The BOA® Fit System ensures a micro-adjustable fit, enhancing comfort and performance, while the FreeSpine™ technology provides a smooth flex pattern for responsive skiing.

Who it's for:

Ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers with medium-volume feet who desire a boot that performs well in varied conditions, from groomed runs to off-piste adventures.

Highlights:

The Shift Alpha BOA 110 features a 98mm last that can expand up to 104mm, accommodating a range of foot shapes. The BOA® Fit System, combined with the EXOBELT™, offers a secure heel lock and customizable fit. The TwinLock™ walk mechanism provides a 55° range of motion, enhancing uphill efficiency. At 1750 grams per boot, they strike a balance between a light weight and performance.

Things to consider:

While the 110 flex rating offers a balance between performance and forgiveness, skiers seeking a stiffer boot for aggressive, high-speed skiing would likely prefer a higher flex model.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Designed with a 98mm last that can expand to 104mm, the Shift Alpha BOA 110 accommodates medium to high volume feet. The heat-moldable shell and liner allow for further customization to achieve an optimal fit.
