The Gist
Slam-on, out-of-box skiing performance for the thicker medium width foot. No molding process to worry about and an extra $200 in your pocket. Testers liked the RC Pro 120 Thermoshape for its predictable performance and easy fit.
Fit
Testers unanimously agreed that the toebox and forefoot room was more on par with wide last boots than the medium width Fischer says this boot is. The instep and navicular bone fit zones, however, were true medium-width snug. A snug fit through the ankles and lower boot shaft handled lower volume legs well. For guys with enough forefoot width and toe splay, this can be a magic boot. The cozy, comfy liner was praised by all.
Performance
With an upright and balanced feel, the RC Pro 120 Thermoshape rallied through off-piste chunkiness and smooth surfaces alike, testers said. Quickness scores were hampered by excess movement in the lower boot for some. Thicker-footed guys found it had a snappy-enough short radius turn in its quiver. Testers liked its steering skills for soft snow schmears, and said it had legit on-edge cred once it was rolled up to a higher edge angle.
Cool Features
First, testers loved the cosmetics; some said it was the nicest looking boot in the test. Second, this a straightforward, honest affair without much bedazzlement. There’s no lateral cuff adjustment, no Vacuum. It does have four buckles, a Velcro power strap and grippy soles. What more do you really need?
