The Nordica Hot Rod 8.5 Ski Boot is the perfect boot for a versatile, all-terrain skier looking to advance to the next level. With Nordica's signature warmth and comfort, the Hot Rod Series also offers Natural Foot Stance (NFS) technology to guide your leg to a more natural position, helping you master precision and balance. This feature also allows you to ski longer without getting tired as quickly. The ski boot's flex rating of 85 makes the Hot Rod a stiffer boot which is ideal for intermediate skiers who want to begin moving at faster speeds while getting proper ankle support. Its Full Shock Eraser system smooths out impact and absorbs shock while its easy-entry shell flaps make gearing up or down a breeze. Perhaps the best feature of the Nordica Hot Rod 8.5 is its micro-adjustable buckles that crank down for an exact fit. The boot has a 102 last width and comes in sizes ranging from 24 to 30.5. You're ready to move forward--let Nordica's Hot Rod take you there!
