Fischer RC4 95 LV VAC GW

The FISCHER RC4 95 LV VAC GW are women’s performance all-mountain ski boots with a 95 flex index and a narrow 98 mm last, designed for skiers who want to combine the precise ski control and performance character of the RC4 line with the comfort required for full days on the mountain. As the narrowest option in the RC4 collection, they are primarily aimed at narrower feet and skiers who prefer a closer, more precise fit.

One of the key advantages of this model is the VACUUM shell, designed for individual adaptation to the shape of the foot. Combined with the 98 mm last, it provides a precise performance-oriented foundation that can be further adapted to the skier’s anatomy through professional bootfitting. The 95 flex offers a well-balanced level of support for a performance skier – firm enough for dynamic skiing without pushing the boot into the extremely stiff race-boot category.

All-day comfort is supported by the RC4 LV COMFORT ws liner with PRIMALOFT® insulation. Adjustable forward lean provides additional possibilities for adapting the skier’s stance, the Grindable Bootboard allows further professional bootfitting modifications, and the factory-mounted GripWalk® sole makes walking away from the skis more practical.

Who are these ski boots for?

The FISCHER RC4 95 LV VAC GW are primarily designed for performance-oriented women with narrower feet who want precise all-mountain ski boots for full-day skiing without giving up the performance character of the RC4 line.

This model is particularly suitable for skiers who:

have narrower feet and prefer a Low Volume construction with a 98 mm last
ski dynamically and want more precise contact between the foot, boot and ski
are looking for a balanced 95 flex for performance-oriented yet all-day skiing
can benefit from individual adjustment of the VACUUM shell
appreciate the RC4 LV COMFORT ws liner with PRIMALOFT® insulation
want the additional professional adjustment possibilities of a Grindable Bootboard
require adjustable forward lean
prefer a women-specific design around the upper liner area
want a factory-mounted GripWalk® sole
are looking for performance all-mountain boots with a precise, low-volume character

The RC4 95 LV VAC GW therefore provide an attractive combination of performance precision and practicality for skiers who want one pair of boots for long days on the slopes and dynamic skiing.

How do the ski boots perform on snow?

The character of the RC4 95 LV VAC GW comes from the combination of a narrow 98 mm last and a 95 flex index. The Low Volume construction helps reduce unwanted foot movement inside the boot and creates a more precise connection between the skier and the ski. This is beneficial when actively shaping turns, skiing at higher speeds and whenever more accurate ski response is required.

The 95 flex provides performance-oriented support while remaining more accessible for full-day use than significantly stiffer race-focused models. The boot therefore provides a stable platform for an experienced performance skier without demanding extreme force every time the shell is flexed.

The adjustment possibilities also play an important role. The VACUUM shell, Grindable Bootboard and adjustable forward lean allow a bootfitter to work not only with performance but also with foot position and overall fit. In a narrow performance boot, high-quality bootfitting can make a substantial difference to both precision and comfort.

How to read the parameters

Flex index 95

The 95 flex index positions this model among performance-oriented women’s ski boots. It provides sufficient support for dynamic skiing and active loading of the boot while remaining less demanding than significantly stiffer models intended for highly aggressive or race-oriented skiing.

For a performance skier, a 95 flex can offer a suitable compromise between precision and all-day usability. The boot provides the support required for faster, more active ski control while allowing more natural flexing than an extremely stiff race construction.

Flex indexes are not completely standardized between manufacturers. When choosing the correct boot, it is therefore important to consider not only the number 95 but also the skier’s weight, strength, technique and preferred skiing style.

98 mm last – Low Volume

The 98 mm last represents a narrow Low Volume fit aimed at narrower feet and a more precise performance-oriented fit.

The reduced internal volume provides closer contact between the foot and the boot while limiting unnecessary movement, helping movements transfer more precisely to the skis. This makes the model particularly suitable for performance skiers who want a more direct and responsive connection.

A narrow boot must, however, correspond to the actual shape of the foot. The adaptable VACUUM shell is a significant advantage of the RC4 95 LV VAC GW, but choosing the correct initial size and shell shape remains essential.

Technologies

Adjustable Forward Lean

Adjustable Forward Lean allows the forward angle of the cuff to be adjusted. This provides some ability to adapt the skier’s stance in the boot according to personal preference, anatomy and skiing style.

The exact adjustment range is not specified in the supplied information, so it should not be inferred. The key advantage is the possibility of adjusting the forward lean rather than relying on a completely fixed setting.

FISCHER SCAN-FIT® LAST

FISCHER SCAN-FIT® LAST relates to the last shape used in the construction of the boot. It forms part of Fischer’s approach to creating a more precise shape and fit around the foot.

In the RC4 95 LV VAC GW, the result is a Low Volume construction with a stated 98 mm last, aimed at narrower feet and a more precise performance fit. More detailed mechanisms behind the technology are not specified in the supplied information and should therefore not be inferred.

Grindable Bootboard

Grindable Bootboard allows a professional bootfitter to mechanically modify the bootboard by grinding it, providing additional possibilities for working with space and foot position inside the shell.

This can be particularly useful in narrow performance boots, where relatively small modifications can influence the final fit. The manufacturer does not specify the exact range of possible modification, so this work should be carried out by an experienced bootfitter.

Gripwalk® Sole

Gripwalk® Sole means that the model uses a GripWalk® sole. Its construction is designed to make walking away from the skis more practical and natural than with traditional flat alpine soles.

Ski boots equipped with GripWalk® soles must be used with appropriate GripWalk-compatible ski bindings.

PRIMALOFT®

PRIMALOFT® is used in this model to provide thermal insulation within the liner. It helps reduce heat loss and supports foot comfort during long days on snow.

In a performance Low Volume boot, thermal comfort is an important complement to the precise fit because the RC4 95 LV VAC GW are designed not only for short, intensive runs but also for full-day skiing.

Vacuum

Vacuum is one of the key technologies of the RC4 95 LV VAC GW. The shell is designed so that it can be professionally adapted to better match the shape of the individual skier’s foot.

This is particularly beneficial in a narrow 98 mm construction, where the aim is to achieve a close and precise fit while reducing unnecessary pressure points. VACUUM therefore combines the performance-oriented Low Volume character of the boot with a higher degree of individual shell adaptation.

The fitting process is best carried out by a specialist bootfitter who can make the necessary adjustments with consideration for the skier’s foot anatomy and desired final fit.

Women's Specific Collar

Women's Specific Collar refers to the women-specific design of the upper section of the liner. It is intended to provide a more appropriate fit around the female lower leg and calf area.

In a performance boot, correct fit in this area is important not only for comfort but also for maintaining stable contact between the lower leg and the cuff during active skiing.

RC4 LV COMFORT ws liner

The model is equipped with the RC4 LV COMFORT ws liner, designed to complement the Low Volume character of the boot while balancing performance with the comfort required for full-day skiing.

PRIMALOFT® insulation supports thermal comfort, while the women-specific upper design helps provide a more appropriate fit around the calf area. The liner therefore complements the precise 98 mm shell with features focused on comfort during extended use.

The supplied information does not specify that the liner is heat-mouldable, so this should not be assumed. In this model, the explicitly stated moulding capability relates to the VACUUM shell.

Four-buckle closure and 35mm Power Strap

The RC4 95 LV VAC GW use four buckles, allowing progressive retention of the foot and cuff. The exact construction and buckle material are not specified in the supplied technical information and should therefore not be inferred.

The upper section of the boot is completed by a 35mm Velcro Power Strap, which provides an additional retention point around the cuff and helps create a more secure connection between the lower leg and the boot.

GripWalk® sole

The model comes standard with a GripWalk® sole, increasing practicality when moving around without skis. For a boot designed for full-day use, this is particularly useful when walking through the resort, across parking areas or between the slopes and lifts.

The GripWalk® sole requires a compatible ski binding, so compatibility should always be checked when pairing these boots with a particular ski and binding setup.

Weight and construction character

The manufacturer states a weight of 1,780 g in size 26.5. This is a reference figure for the specified size, and the weight may differ in other sizes.

The RC4 95 LV VAC GW are designed as performance all-mountain boots that bring the performance character of the RC4 line into a construction suitable for long days in the mountains. The narrow 98 mm shell supports precision, while the 95 flex, comfort-oriented liner and PRIMALOFT® insulation create a more balanced character than a purely race-focused boot.

The manufacturer code is U05523, while the product code is N23000786.

RC4 precision for full-day skiing

The FISCHER RC4 95 LV VAC GW make particular sense for skiers who want a precise Low Volume boot without stepping into an extremely stiff race construction. The 95 flex provides performance-oriented support, while the 98 mm last creates closer contact with the foot to support more direct ski control.

A major advantage is the range of further adjustment possibilities. The VACUUM shell allows a professional bootfitter to work with the shell shape, Grindable Bootboard adds another level of fit modification, and Adjustable Forward Lean makes it possible to adjust the cuff angle. The final fit therefore does not have to rely solely on the standard factory shape.

At the same time, features important for full-day use remain part of the package. The RC4 LV COMFORT ws liner with PRIMALOFT® insulation supports comfort and warmth, while the GripWalk® sole makes movement away from the skis more practical.
