Salomon Impact 8 Ski Boots

It's hard to say goodbye to the popular X-Wave series of boots, but Impact series makes an Impact. Salomon's Impact 8 is the performance boot for most all mountain skiers who want a performance fit with an all day comfort fit. The Impact 8 shares the same shell technology as the Impact Pro and Impact 10. The liner is the "My Custom Fit Sport" liner that offers a forgiving fit and good foot security which makes for comfort and performance. Flex index: 90.

The best fit for the Impact 8 is low to medium volume. This makes a great boot for a person who would like a Falcon, but that person might need a little bit more space than the Falcon can accommodate. Forefoot width measures 100 mm. I found the instep area to be medium. The heel can only be described as "snug.'
