With the Shadow RTL W MV GW,Lange offers an alpine ski boot designed for female skiers seeking a balance between performance and accessibility. Designed for all-mountain use, it’s aimed at women who want to improve their on-piste skills without sacrificing everyday comfort. Thanks to its Dual Pivot and Suspension Blade technologies, it promises optimized energy transfer and effective vibration absorption, resulting in less fatigue and greater precision in every turn. This RTL model, designed for rental use while incorporating advanced technical features, provides a solid foundation for regular skiing in a variety of conditions.

A Medium Volume last tailored to the female foot

The Lange Shadow RTL W MV GW features a 100 mm last, corresponding to the Medium Volume (MV) profile. This last is designed for female skiers with feet of medium volume—neither too narrow nor too wide—providing sufficient lateral support to guide the ski with precision. The Lange Women’s Cuff is specifically designed for the female anatomy, with a geometry adapted to the shape of the calf and leg. The shell also features an Asymmetrical Toe Box, which respects the natural shape of the toes and reduces pressure points at the front of the foot during long days on the slopes.

Progressive flex and Assisted Performance technology

The flex of the Shadow RTL W MV GW is adjustable, with a customization range of plus or minus 10% in stiffness, allowing skiers to tailor the boot’s performance to their skill level and skiing preferences. Assisted Performance technology, which combines the Dual Pivot system and Suspension Blade, amplifies the skier’s effort by 26%: more energy is transferred to the ski for the same amount of muscular effort. The Reactive Boost Tongue contributes to this progressive flex by supporting forward movement without disrupting rhythm. This profile is suitable for intermediate to advanced skiers looking to improve efficiency without excessive stiffness.

Thermal comfort and a custom fit thanks to the Core Custom liner

The Core Custom liner is pre-shaped to best conform to the foot’s shape from the very first time you put it on. Its seamless construction, with no visible seams, reduces friction points and improves long-term comfort. The polyurethane shell and Lyfran collar ensure durability while maintaining consistent flex properties in cold weather. A Snow Seal system protects the interior of the boot from cold and moisture—a feature particularly appreciated in harsh winter conditions. For skiers who want to take the fit even further, this liner is compatible with a visit to a bootfitter for a custom fit.

Precise Lacing, Convenience, and GripWalk Compatibility

The boot’s support is based on several complementary elements. Here are the main fastening and convenience systems integrated into this model:

• 4 cold-forged aluminum buckles with 7 mm of adjustment per notch, for a precise and progressive fit across the entire foot and leg.
• A power strap at the top of the collar, which reinforces shin support and improves power transfer.
• Dual Core technology in the shell, which optimizes structural stiffness for better responsiveness.
• GripWalk soles (ISO 23223), which make walking in the resort easier thanks to their softer, rounded profile, while remaining compatible with modern alpine bindings designed to this standard.

The Lange Shadow RTL W MV GW ski boot is designed for intermediate to advanced female skiers looking for a versatile on-piste boot that’s comfortable to wear all day and technical enough to support their progression. With its MV fit, customizable flex, and GripWalk soles, it meets the needs of regular skiing at the resort on varied terrain.
