Lange Shadow 120 MV Ski Boots 2026
The Lange Shadow 120 has become a staple in the 120 flex, mid-volume category. For this seaon the liner got an update to improve fit, it's a bit more snug but not overbearing. When Lange did away with the RX boot a few season ago we weren't sure how they'd do, the RX was a boot in its own lane. After a few seasons of using the Shadow boots we can confidently say the Shadow is a true winner. It skis better than the RX, fits better than the RX, and not that it really matters -- but it looks better too.
The Shadow 120 MV is a mid-volume boot for average skiers with average feet. This is for skiers who want a boot that can drive most skis effortlessly but they don't need to be in the stiffest boots out there. The 120 flex is forgiving enough for skiers who aren't perfect out on the slopes or advanced skiers who like a more forgiving flex pattern. Bending into the boot you'll quickly notice that the Shadow isn't built like a traditional alpine ski boot. The "Suspension Blade" on the spine of the boot allows the boot to be flexed into easily while also providing great rebound. These characteristics combined help to make your ski day as efficient as possible and a more supple feel over less-than-desirable terrain. Less work on your legs means more time out on the hill.
If you're a progressing skier or more easy-going advanced skier the Shadow 120 MV is a solid option. It fits a wide variety of foot shapes and ability levels.
