This commentary is a repost of last season’s report, the associated FIND buttons connect to 2017 starting inventory.
The “SC” stands for Short Cuff, meaning Lange lowered the cuff height on its SC series to suit the shorter length of a woman’s tibia. All other changes to their classic race boot design can be quickly summarized: zero. Okay, the shell material is PU instead of polyether, but that’s more a nod to reality than an act of condescension.
These are not shoes for the faint of heart or weak of leg. Their 97mm forefoot will probably limit their appeal not only to women with narrow feet, but to those narrow-footed females who are very, very good skiers. The RS SC shell comes in 120, 110 and 90 flexes.
