You won’t find a much more homogeneous line than Rossi’s 3-boot, Pure Pro collection of medium-lasted, recreational boots for the on-piste skier. Every model is a PU shell (yes, this matters) with a Merino wool insulated liner, built on a performance platform. The reason we’re leading with this observation is that when most boot families slip down the flex index, they jettison every performance feature along the way, until the last boot in the line-up is a feature-less “pure boot.”
The Pure Pro line of made-for-women models avoids this pitfall by keeping their standards high even as the flex index slips ever lower. Even the Pure Pro 80 has Merino wool in the liner, a PU shell that won’t wilt as the skier advances in ability, and the same, comfortable, relaxed, 100mm last that is the defining trait of every Pure Pro model.
