S-Lab Skate Pro Prolink Boot

Defend last year's podium appearances with the stiff, lateral support of Salomon's S-Lab Skate Pro Prolink Boot. If winning is what you're racing for, you can't do much better than this boot, with its World Cup pedigree and desire to see you through every grueling moment of a race to a commendable finish. Salomon builds the S-Lab with a carbon frame, giving the entire boot an unbeatable stiffness-to-weight ratio that will eagerly answer your powerful kicks with support and stability.

The S-Lab's seamless synthetic uppers come complete with a water-resistant treatment to shield your feet in sloppy conditions, as well as mesh accent panels to keep the boot breathable when you're working hard. Salomon aimed to make putting the S-Lab on before a race quick and simple, so it added separate inner lining, thin and moisture-wicking, that acts like a bootie. Slide your foot in before a race without wrestling with the boot, then pull the Dissociated Quicklace system with one hand to lace the boot just the way you like it. After you tighten down the ratcheting strap across the instep, all that's left to do is get yourself to the starting line.
