The Gist

The little engine that could really snuck up on testers. Badged as a mid-powered 100 flex at only $500 MSRP, it competed with zeal and tallied marks that made it one of the very best boots of our test. How? Why? The Allspeed 100 fits like a true wide but skis with the power of the best mediums and narrows.

Fit

The 102 mm last should fit a fatter foot, right? Well, the Allspeed 100 does that but without sacrificing snugness in the control zones. The toebox and forefoot is ample but not cavernous. The top of foot through the transition into the shin is tall and well-suited for the thicker, higher volume foot. The calf is flared to handle the mass of meat big guys carry on the backs of their legs. Yet the heel and ankle a tapered, snug enough for even average and narrow-footed testers to tap into a turn without slopping about.

Performance

The Allspeed 100 exceeds its performance labeling, skiing more like the 110s and 120s we tested. It has a softer feeling flex than the stouter models but there’s a firm stopping point and solid lateral transmission that still allowed bigger testers to hammer through piles of spring mashed potatoes at speed without experiencing any ski deflection.

Cool Features

Its most notable feature is its massively high performance-to-price ratio.  It does have a Thinsulate liner for extra warmth and a single-side lateral cuff adjustment. It also offers off-piste versatility with flex tuning and sole swap out options (WTR and Cantology compatible). That’s a plus feature on every Allspeed model.
