The Gist

The all new 2018 Salomon X Pro 100 W comes toughened up to a 100-flex, which testers liked for its solid feel on edge and firm, supportive feel against the lower leg. Not changed is the characteristic X Pro medium-width fit that suits almost every foot.

The Fit

Few outliers, fit-wise, with the exception of a wide-ish toebox (not a bad thing) and a bit snug heel and ankle (not a bad thing)—all other fit zones came in with right-down-the-fairway medium width scores. Testers like the cozy, initial fit—a Salomon liner standard—and found the closure system easy to manage.

Performance

Reliable, consistent power and easy transitions turn to turn found here, testers agreed, saying that this boot is perfect for the intermediate who's stepping up her game and doesn't need her gear getting in the way. Testers remarked that the price paid for stability and predictability was some lack of snap and agility, but not enough to scare anyone away. Prefer a dreamy G.S. turn over a spastic short-radius? Perfect, this boot's for you.

Cool Features

Salomon's Custom Shell 360 heat molding system is a great way to open up the fit in tight spots and slightly improve the boot's stance alignment for a specific skier. The X Pro 100 W is also available in a Custom Heat model (at a higher price tag), and it's white!
