Shift Alpha BOA 110 Boot - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve toured and lapped lifts in the Shift Alpha BOA 110, and it’s one of the most balanced boots I’ve used. The FreeSpine gives real support on the descent while still opening up enough range for efficient skinning. The BOA and Exobelt lock in the heel so well that hot spots basically disappear. With tech inserts, GripWalk, and a Custom Shell fit, this boot adapts fast and skis even better."

We rely on the Salomon SHIFT ALPHA BOA 110 when a day calls for both uphill efficiency and powerful downhill control. Salomon’s FreeSpine design blends freeride stiffness with smooth touring mobility, giving us a natural stride on the skintrack and confident responsiveness once we lock into ski mode. The BOA Fit System and Exobelt wrap the foot securely, creating exceptional heel hold that keeps us connected to the boot through every edge.

Inside, the My Custom Fit Freeride 4D Perf liner balances comfort and precision, while GripWalk soles and a midgrip Contagrip zone add traction on icy ridges or rocky approaches. Integrated tech inserts pair seamlessly with touring bindings, and the redesigned SkiWalk mechanism opens the boot’s range of motion for efficient climbing. Whether we’re chasing a dawn patrol lap or charging back down to the resort, the SHIFT ALPHA BOA 110 finds that rare sweet spot between touring versatility and true alpine performance.
