HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR MY LANGE SKI BOOTS?

Choosing your ski boots isn't always easy. But it's an essential step if you want to enjoy unforgettable moments on snow. So it's important to find the right pair for your size and shape.

A boot that doesn't fit properly, is too big or too small, will be a source of discomfort. To make sure you get the best fit, two measurements need to be taken into account: the length and width of your feet.

KNOW YOUR FOOT SIZE IN MONDOPOINT

Measurement n°1 : Lenght

The sizing system commonly used in ski boots is MONDOPOINT sizing. This measurement refers to foot length from toe to heel expressed in centimeters. For example, a 26.5 MP boot is suitable for a foot measuring 26.5 cm in length. 

For correct boot sizing, do not forget: 

1) When flexing into the boot, your toes should have minimal space against the end of the boot. Proper fit is toes just lightly touching the front and pull back when you flex forward.  

2) To help avoid pressure points, boot buckles should never be overly tightened. Instead look for a more precise initial fit that doesn’t rely on you overly-tightening the buckles. If you need to tighten the buckles completely to get the retention you desire, the boot is too big and you should downsize. 

3) The liner will pack out and conform to your foot over time so look for a snug, yet comfortable fit. 

4) Ski socks will make a big impact regarding the fit and comfort of your boot. Thicker socks can often limit blood circulation and provide less warmth, while a thinner sock will offer greater sensitivity and precision.

FINDING THE RIGHT FIT FOR ME

Measurement n°2 : Width

To choose the appropriated model, you need to make sure that the fit of the shoe is adapted to the shape of your foot. The Fit of the boot (or last) is the width of the foot measured at the 5th metatarsal (widest part of the forefoot). It determines the level of control and precision of the skier. 

Lange is offering three different fits to adapt precisely to different foot shapes and widths: narrow, medium and wide.

1) PRECISION FIT (92-95mm):  Recommended for competitors and ideal for narrow feet.

2) PERFORMANCE FIT (97-99mm): Suitable for medium-width feet. 

3) COMFORT FIT (100-102mm): Ideal for wide feet.

For a good ratio between comfort and control, choose a boot that matches the overall volume and length of your foot. If you are looking for precision, choose a narrower last. However, do not choose a boot that is too wide because you may have less control of your skis.

LANGE Shadow 115 W LV GW

The LANGE Shadow 115 W LV GW are high-performance women’s all-mountain ski boots with a 115 flex index and a narrow 97 mm last, designed for advanced and highly experienced skiers who demand precision, strong control and efficient energy transfer across varied terrain. The Low Volume construction is aimed at narrower feet and skiers who prefer a close, performance-oriented fit.

At the heart of the boot is the ASSISTED PERFORMANCE SYSTEM, which combines DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE technologies. According to the manufacturer, this mechanical design can increase energy input by up to 26%, helping the skier generate more power and control with less physical effort. The result is not simply a stiff boot, but a construction designed to work more efficiently throughout compression and rebound.

The 115 flex provides substantial support for dynamic and aggressive skiing, while the shell construction also focuses on shock and vibration absorption. The Core Custom 1 liner with AUXETIC TECHNOLOGY is designed for a high level of individual customization. Factory-mounted GripWalk soles complete the performance package while making movement away from the skis more practical.

Who are these ski boots for?

The LANGE Shadow 115 W LV GW are designed for advanced to highly experienced women skiers who require strong support and precision but also want a boot engineered to work efficiently throughout a full day of all-mountain skiing.

This model is particularly suitable for skiers who:

  • have narrower feet and are looking for a 97 mm Low Volume fit
  • prefer a sporty to highly dynamic skiing style
  • need the strong support of a 115 flex index
  • want precise energy transfer to the skis without unnecessary physical effort
  • can take advantage of the ASSISTED PERFORMANCE SYSTEM with DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE
  • are looking for a performance boot for full-day all-mountain skiing
  • appreciate the customizable Core Custom 1 liner
  • prefer a women-specific shell and cuff construction
  • want factory-mounted GripWalk soles
  • can make use of Flex Adjust to modify the flex character

The Shadow 115 W LV GW are therefore an attractive option for skiers who do not want to choose between high performance and the comfort required for long days in the mountains.

How do the ski boots perform on snow?

The character of the Shadow 115 W LV GW is built around a combination of strong support, precision and more efficient energy transfer. The 115 flex provides a stable platform for fast and dynamic skiing, while the Assisted Performance System is designed to reduce the amount of energy the skier needs to actively put into the boot.

DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE provide mechanical assistance as the boot flexes. The manufacturer states an increase in energy input of up to 26%, with the aim of delivering greater power and control with less physical effort. This can be beneficial not only through individual dynamic turns but especially over a long day as fatigue gradually builds.

Another important part of the boot’s character is its clean, consistent flex and increased shock absorption through the shell construction. The Shadow 115 W LV GW therefore focus not only on stiffness and immediate response, but also on filtering terrain impacts while maintaining control and snow feel in changing conditions.

How to read the parameters

Flex index 115

The 115 flex index places the Shadow 115 W LV GW among stiff women’s performance ski boots. It provides substantial support at higher speeds, during dynamic turn initiation and when applying stronger pressure to the front of the boot.

This level of flex is primarily suited to experienced skiers who can actively use a stiffer construction. It may be unnecessarily demanding for a recreational beginner, while a technically advanced skier can benefit from the stronger platform for precise ski control.

Flex indexes are not completely standardized between manufacturers. This model also features Flex Adjust, which according to the manufacturer allows the flex level to be changed by 10%, providing some ability to modify the boot’s character.

97 mm last – Low Volume

The 97 mm last corresponds to a Low Volume construction and is primarily aimed at narrower feet or skiers looking for a closer, more precise performance fit.

The reduced internal volume helps limit unwanted foot movement inside the boot and supports more precise transfer of movements to the skis. In a performance boot with a 115 flex, correct foot retention is particularly important because it allows the skier to make better use of the entire construction.

A narrow performance boot must, however, correspond to the actual shape of the foot. If the foot is significantly wider or higher-volume, the desire for maximum precision alone is not a reason to choose an excessively narrow shell.

Technologies

97mm LAST

97mm LAST defines the Low Volume shell construction with a 97 mm width. It is aimed at narrower feet and a closer connection between the foot and the boot, which is particularly important for sporty and dynamic skiing.

The lower internal volume supports faster and more precise movement transfer when the shape of the boot correctly matches the skier’s foot.

ASSISTED PERFORMANCE SYSTEM

ASSISTED PERFORMANCE SYSTEM is one of the key construction concepts of the Shadow line. It uses the mechanical advantages of DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE to amplify the energy the skier puts into the boot while flexing it.

According to the manufacturer, the system can increase energy input by up to 26%. The practical goal is to deliver more power and control with less energy expenditure, which can be particularly beneficial during full days of performance-oriented skiing.

ASYMETRICAL TOE BOX

ASYMETRICAL TOE BOX relates to the construction and shaping of the front section of the boot with consideration for the natural anatomy of the foot.

Its purpose is to better accommodate the different spatial requirements of the foot around the toe area. The exact geometry and specific dimensional differences are not stated in the supplied information, so these details should not be inferred.

AUXETIC TECHNOLOGY

AUXETIC TECHNOLOGY is used in the liner of this model. According to the manufacturer, it uses materials that expand and contract to follow and conform to the natural shape of the foot.

The technology therefore supports liner adaptation and more consistent contact around the foot, an important factor when combining precision and comfort in a narrow performance-oriented ski boot.

DUAL PIVOT

DUAL PIVOT forms part of the Assisted Performance System and uses two points of mechanical leverage to help the boot work more efficiently as it flexes.

Together with Suspension Blade, it helps amplify the energy the skier puts into the boot. The goal is a more effective mechanical response that enables high performance without requiring the same amount of physical input as a more traditionally constructed boot.

GRIPWALK® MOUNTED SOLES

GRIPWALK® MOUNTED SOLES means that this model comes with GripWalk soles already installed. They are designed to make walking away from the skis more practical and natural.

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

NEW ONE PIECE LINER

NEW ONE PIECE LINER uses a one-piece liner concept. In the Shadow 115 W LV GW, it is combined with the Core Custom 1 construction and a focus on a high level of personalization.

The one-piece concept supports continuous contact between the liner and the foot. More detailed construction characteristics beyond the supplied information are not specified by the manufacturer and therefore should not be inferred.

SUSPENSION BLADE

SUSPENSION BLADE, together with Dual Pivot, forms the foundation of the Assisted Performance System. It acts as a structural element influencing the progression of the flex and the mechanical response of the boot.

The system is designed to support a smooth, consistent flex while helping transfer energy more efficiently. Together with the shell construction, it contributes to a boot character that combines high performance with shock and vibration absorption.

WOMEN CUFF

WOMEN CUFF refers to the women-specific cuff construction. It is designed around women’s anatomy and complements the women-specific shell and cuff design stated by the manufacturer.

Its purpose is to provide a more appropriate fit around the lower leg and cuff area while maintaining the performance support required from a 115-flex boot.

Polyurethane shell and Dual Core

The Shadow 115 W LV GW use a polyurethane shell, a material that the manufacturer associates in this model with power and elasticity. The construction also incorporates Dual Core, designed to enhance elastic tension and promote a dynamic rebound as the boot returns from flex.

The construction includes an Ultra light boot board, focused on shock absorption and warmth. This fits the overall Shadow philosophy, which does not rely solely on stiffness but aims to combine performance with impact absorption when skiing across varied terrain.

The manufacturer also specifies a new snow seal, designed to help keep snow and wind out of the boot for a drier and warmer internal environment.

Core Custom 1 liner

The model uses a Core Custom 1 liner, for which the manufacturer states a maximum level of personalization. Its construction is complemented by Auxetic Technology, helping the liner materials follow the natural shape of the foot more closely.

According to the supplied information, the liner is heat-mouldable, allowing for more precise individual adaptation. This is particularly relevant in a 97 mm Low Volume boot, where a close performance fit needs to combine secure foot retention with appropriate comfort.

Closure system with micrometric adjustment

The closure system uses ultralight aluminium components with 7 mm of micrometric adjustment. This allows the closure position and tension to be fine-tuned according to the shape of the foot and the desired level of retention.

The number of buckles is not explicitly confirmed in the supplied technical information, so it should not be inferred.

Asy-entry and Flex Adjust

The cuff construction features asy-entry, designed to make getting into and out of the boot more comfortable. This is particularly practical in a stiffer performance boot, where entry can otherwise require more effort.

The cuff technology also includes Flex Adjust, which according to the manufacturer allows the flex level to be changed by 10%. This gives the skier some ability to modify the boot’s character according to personal preference and desired performance.

40mm Power Strap and GripWalk soles

The upper section of the boot is completed by a 40mm Power Strap, providing an additional retention point around the cuff and helping create a more secure connection between the lower leg and the boot.

The standard soles are GripWalk. In addition to making movement away from the skis more practical, the boots therefore come already configured for use with suitable GripWalk-compatible bindings.

The manufacturer code for the LANGE Shadow 115 W LV GW is LBM2200, while the product code is N23000638.

High performance with reduced energy demand

The central idea behind the Shadow 115 W LV GW is not simply to create a stiff performance boot. The combination of ASSISTED PERFORMANCE SYSTEM, DUAL PIVOT and SUSPENSION BLADE is designed to mechanically support the skier’s movements and make more efficient use of the energy put into the boot.

The 115 flex maintains the high level of support required for performance skiing, while the shock-absorbing characteristics of the construction help filter terrain impacts. In practice, the model is aimed at skiers who want to ski fast and technically without high performance automatically resulting in an excessively demanding boot character.

The narrow 97 mm shell, Core Custom 1 liner and women-specific cuff construction complete the system with a precise, performance-oriented fit for narrower feet.

Why choose the LANGE Shadow 115 W LV GW?

The LANGE Shadow 115 W LV GW are designed for advanced and highly experienced women with narrower feet who want high-performance all-mountain ski boots with precise control, strong support and efficient energy transfer. The 115 flex and 97 mm Low Volume construction create a performance-focused foundation, while the Assisted Performance System is designed to make more effective use of the skier’s energy.

The combination of Dual Pivot and Suspension Blade is what particularly distinguishes the Shadow from a conventionally designed performance boot. Lange states an increase in energy input of up to 26%, while the construction simultaneously focuses on smooth flex progression and shock absorption. Core Custom 1 with Auxetic Technology adds a high level of fit customization, Flex Adjust allows the flex character to be modified by 10%, and factory-mounted GripWalk soles improve practicality away from the skis.

For a performance-oriented skier who wants to combine aggressive skiing, the precision of a 97 mm shell and the strong support of a 115 flex with a construction designed for more efficient energy use and all-day comfort, the LANGE Shadow 115 W LV GW are a technically advanced all-mountain choice.
