Stiff plastic on the sides of the Scarlet make it powerful enough to drive through crud and bumps yet still feel stable on hardpack and ice. But it's the boot's excellent forward flex that makes for precision turning. “Not too soft, not too stiff,” as one tester described it. “It's the perfect boot for big high-speed arcs or ripping quick turns.” It's comfy, too: The liner is heat-moldable, providing a plush custom fit. salomon-sports.com
