The quick verdict: The value sweet spot of Salomon's Supra platform: a 90 flex that skis stiffer than its number, a fully moldable shell and liner, and GripWalk pads included. Serious boot, sensible money. ~$420
Overview
The buckle-closure Supra 90 GW sits below Salomon's BOA-equipped Supra models and shares their thin-wall, wrap-style fit. America's Best Bootfitters testers rated the Supra platform highly, praising a roomy toe box paired with a secure heel and ankle, and found it stiffer and more stable than typical 90-flex boots. The whole customization stack is here: a heat-moldable S/Pro CF liner and Custom Shell HD, which lets a shop oven-mold the shell itself to your foot. GripWalk ISO 23223 pads come pre-mounted. Women's versions run the same recipe as the S/Pro Supra 80 W GW and 90 W GW.
Where It Shines
- Skis stiffer and more stable than most 90-flex boots, so it survives your progression
- Roomy forefoot with a secure heel and ankle, an unusual and welcome combination
- Shell and liner are both heat-moldable, which is rare at this price
- GripWalk soles standard
Tradeoffs to Know
- Less top-end power than 110+ flex boots; strong skiers will want more eventually
- Some testers felt tongue pressure at mid-shin before molding
- No BOA dial; the cheapest Supra BOA is the 100 at around $500
Who It’s For
Early intermediates with medium-width feet who are progressing quickly and want one boot to carry them for years. Wide feet should start with the Atomic Hawx Magna 90X GW or the Rossignol Evo 70 HV+.
