The LANGE Shadow 110 LV GW is a high-performance men’s/unisex ski boot for advanced and experienced skiers looking for a precise Low Volume shell, a balanced 110 flex and efficient power transfer for all-day all-mountain skiing. With a shell width of just 97 mm, it belongs to the narrower performance category and is primarily intended for skiers with narrower feet or those who prefer a close, precise connection between the foot and the boot.
At the heart of the model is the Assisted Performance System, which combines DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE technologies. The construction uses the system’s mechanical advantage when the boot is loaded, with the aim of delivering strong power transfer with less effort. At the same time, it focuses on smooth and consistent flex together with improved shock and vibration absorption through the shell construction. The result is a performance-oriented boot that provides precise response and control without relying solely on maximum stiffness.
The 110 flex represents an attractive balance between performance and all-day usability. It provides enough support for dynamic ski control while being less demanding than significantly stiffer 130-flex models. Combined with the narrow 97 mm last, CORE CUSTOM 3 liner and factory-mounted GripWalk® soles, the result is a performance all-mountain boot for skiers who want precision, control and comfort throughout the day.
Who are these ski boots for?
The LANGE Shadow 110 LV GW is designed for sporty skiers looking for a men’s/unisex boot with a precise Low Volume fit and a moderately stiff performance character.
Although one of the supplied descriptions mentions women with narrower feet, the official product classification specifies men’s/unisex. This specific classification therefore takes precedence when defining the intended target group.
The model is particularly suitable for skiers who:
- have narrower feet and are looking for a precise 97 mm Low Volume shell
- prefer a close connection between the foot and boot without unnecessary internal space
- ski dynamically and want more precise ski control
- want a 110 flex combining strong support with all-day usability
- are looking for a performance boot for all-mountain skiing
- appreciate the Assisted Performance System with DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE
- want efficient power transfer when dynamically controlling their skis
- prefer a four-buckle construction complemented by a 45mm Power Strap
- want factory-mounted GripWalk® soles
- expect a precise performance fit without requiring the extreme stiffness of a race-oriented boot
With a 97 mm Low Volume construction, choosing the correct size and matching the boot to the skier’s anatomy is particularly important. The narrow shell should hold the foot more precisely without creating excessive pressure. Foot width, instep shape and heel retention should therefore all be considered when selecting the correct fit.
How do the boots perform on the slopes?
The Shadow 110 LV GW combines a 110 flex, narrow 97 mm shell and Assisted Performance System, giving it a sporty and precise character while remaining well suited to all-day skiing.
DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE are designed to work more efficiently with the skier’s movement under load and support effective power transfer. Rather than generating performance solely through high shell stiffness, the construction uses the mechanical advantage of the complete system. This helps create smooth and consistent flex when actively controlling the skis.
The manufacturer also emphasizes increased shock absorption through the shell construction. In practice, the aim is to provide calmer contact with the snow and reduce disruptive vibrations, which can be particularly beneficial during longer periods of performance skiing and in variable conditions.
How to understand the parameters
Flex 110
The exact 110 flex index places the Shadow 110 LV GW among performance ski boots offering substantial support while retaining good versatility. It is suitable for skiers who can already actively load their boots and want a more precise response when controlling the skis but do not require the extreme stiffness of a 130-flex model.
A 110 flex supports dynamic skiing and provides sufficient support under higher loads, while for many performance skiers it may remain easier to use throughout an entire day than a significantly stiffer construction.
Flex indices are not completely standardized between manufacturers. The number 110 should therefore be considered together with the skier’s weight, strength, technical ability and skiing style.
97 mm shell width – Low Volume
The exact 97 mm shell width gives the model a distinctly Low Volume character. Such a narrow construction is primarily intended for narrower feet and skiers who want a close, precise connection between the foot, liner and shell.
A correctly selected Low Volume fit provides more precise foot retention and reduces unwanted movement inside the boot. This supports faster and more accurate transfer of movements to the skis. However, if the skier has a wider foot or high instep, a 97 mm shell may be too restrictive and a roomier version may be more appropriate.
Technologies
97mm LAST
The 97mm LAST technology defines the narrow Low Volume character of the Shadow 110 LV GW. The 97 mm shell is focused on wrapping a narrower foot more precisely and minimizing unnecessary space inside the boot.
When the shape and size are correctly selected, closer contact between the foot and shell helps create a more precise connection between skier and ski. However, the 97 mm measurement alone does not determine the correct fit – the anatomy of the foot, instep and heel is equally important.
ASSISTED PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
ASSISTED PERFORMANCE SYSTEM is a key construction principle of the Shadow range. It combines DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE to take advantage of the mechanical properties of the construction and transfer the skier’s movement into ski performance more efficiently.
The system is designed to deliver strong power transfer while making more efficient use of the skier’s input. Combined with the 110 flex, it creates a balance of performance support, smooth flex and responsiveness suited to dynamic all-mountain skiing.
AUXETIC TECHNOLOGY
AUXETIC TECHNOLOGY forms part of the boot’s construction concept, focusing on functional material behaviour under load. In the Shadow 110 LV GW, it complements a collection of technologies designed to combine precise foot contact, performance response and comfort.
The supplied information does not specify the exact geometry or detailed mechanism of this technology, so unsupported construction characteristics or precisely quantified effects should not be assumed.
CORE CUSTOM LINER
CORE CUSTOM LINER relates to the liner construction, with an emphasis on combining precise foot positioning with comfort. The Shadow 110 LV GW specifically uses the CORE CUSTOM 3 liner together with COMFORT FOOTBED, CORE CUSTOM and TONGUE.
The supplied information also describes the liner as heat-mouldable, meaning its fit can be adapted to better match the individual foot. In a narrow 97 mm shell, correct foot positioning is particularly important for maintaining the balance between performance precision and comfort.
DUAL CORE
DUAL CORE uses different material characteristics within the shell construction with the aim of optimizing flex, response and power transfer.
In the Shadow 110 LV GW, it supports smooth and consistent boot behaviour under load. Combined with the other construction elements of the Shadow range, it helps create a sporting character that provides the necessary support while still allowing the skier to work effectively with the boot’s flex.
DUAL PIVOT
DUAL PIVOT is one of the fundamental components of the Assisted Performance System. It uses the connection between the shell and cuff to create a mechanical advantage when the boot is loaded, allowing the skier’s movement to be used more efficiently.
Together with SUSPENSION BLADE, it forms the basis of the characteristic behaviour of the Shadow range. The objective is strong power transfer and progressive boot performance without relying exclusively on high shell stiffness.
GRIPWALK® MOUNTED SOLES
GRIPWALK® MOUNTED SOLES confirms that the Shadow 110 LV GW comes with GripWalk® soles installed as standard.
GripWalk allows more natural walking when moving around without skis and makes the boots more practical away from the slopes. For correct use, the boots must be paired with GripWalk-compatible ski bindings.
SUSPENSION BLADE
SUSPENSION BLADE, together with DUAL PIVOT, is a key component of the Assisted Performance System. It contributes to the functional behaviour of the construction when the boot is loaded and supports efficient power transfer.
The supplied information also associates the Shadow construction with increased shock and vibration absorption through the shell. The intended result is improved contact with the snow and a calmer feel while skiing, which can be particularly beneficial during long days of performance skiing and in less perfectly groomed conditions.
Polyurethane shell and cuff
Both the shell and cuff of the Shadow 110 LV GW are made from POLYURETHANE. This construction forms the foundation of the boot’s sporting character and works together with DUAL CORE, DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE.
What matters is not only the 110 flex itself but also the way the entire shell behaves under load. The Shadow construction is designed with an emphasis on smooth flex, efficient power transfer and shock absorption, supporting precise performance while remaining practical for all-day skiing.
CORE CUSTOM 3, COMFORT FOOTBED, CORE CUSTOM and TONGUE
According to the technical specification, the CORE CUSTOM 3 liner incorporates COMFORT FOOTBED, CORE CUSTOM and TONGUE. Its construction focuses on combining precise foot positioning with comfort inside the narrow 97 mm shell.
The supplied information states that the liner is heat-mouldable. The ability to adapt the liner is particularly valuable in a Low Volume construction, as it can help optimize contact between the foot and boot without compromising the model’s precise performance character.
Four buckles and 45mm Power Strap
The closure system consists of four buckles, complemented by a wide 45mm Power Strap around the upper cuff. The supplied technical information does not confirm the buckle material or micro-adjustability, so these characteristics should not be assumed.
The 45mm Power Strap helps stabilize the upper part of the boot around the lower leg and supports contact between the shin, tongue and cuff. During performance skiing, this is important for more precise pressure management and effective use of the 110 flex.
GripWalk soles
The Shadow 110 LV GW comes with GripWalk soles installed as standard, as confirmed by both the technical specification and the official GRIPWALK® MOUNTED SOLES technology.
GripWalk makes walking without skis more practical and allows a more natural walking motion than a conventional flat sole construction. The boots must be used with GripWalk-compatible ski bindings.
97 mm + 110 flex: precision without extreme stiffness
The defining combination of the Shadow 110 LV GW is its 97 mm Low Volume shell and 110 flex. The narrow construction provides precise contact with the foot, while the 110 flex delivers sufficient support for sporty and dynamic skiing without reaching the demanding stiffness of significantly firmer models.
This makes the Shadow 110 LV GW an attractive choice for skiers who want a precise Low Volume fit and performance-oriented character while retaining good all-day usability. Assisted Performance System, DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE further contribute a construction concept focused on more efficient use of energy and smooth boot behaviour under load.
The manufacturer specifies a weight of 1960 g in size 26.5, manufacturer code LBO2070 and product code N25000788.
