The Gist

Testers said this is how a performance-oriented, medium-width boot should fit:

  • Ankles and heel bordering on narrow class snug grip
  • A touch relaxed at the instep and forefoot for warmth and to preserve sensation (lots of nerves coalesce there!)
  • A bit of open space at the toebox and calf for comfort and to fit a variety of shapes and sizes

They also said this is the way one should ski. It was the equal of anything in the entire All-Mountain category, testers said.

Fit

The liner and shell work closely together; there’s a squared-off, modern toebox shape in both. A seamless liner tongue and a tall, dome-shaped shell contour over the instep team to create a comfortable ceiling over the bony part of the foot. That’s where boots all-to-often crush downward, shutting off blood flow and creating numbness.

The entire fit is well-draped and cushioned on all parts of the foot. Yet it’s not too fluffy so it shouldn’t pack out. The foot hold is firm and performance oriented but with a surprising cushy feeling.

Performance

The cushioned and progressive flex feel of the Allspeed Pro 120 begs a skier to bang off short swings and hammer the bumps. This is not a one-dimensional side-to-side mover. However, the power on edge is shocking given the comfort level found here.  It skis as well as any in the category including its slimmed down, stiffer big bro Allspeed Elite 130.

Cool Features

Testers liked the EVA foam ankle pocket construction and the grippy removable toe and heel plates that can be swapped for rockered-toe WTR (Walk to Ride) soles. Both plate styles are Cantology compatible in case the single-side cuff adjustment isn't enough to get lateral stance angles dialed.
