Head EDGE 85 W HV ANTHRACITE Ski Boots

Designed for female skiers who are improving on the slopes, the HEAD EDGE 85 W HV ANTHRACITE meets the needs of beginner to intermediate skiers by combining a roomy fit, an accessible flex, and technologies that make everyday life on the mountain easier. Designed specifically for the female anatomy, they’re ideal for everything from first runs to days of progress on varied terrain. The balance between support and freedom of movement makes this a versatile boot, suited for skiers looking to gain confidence without sacrificing comfort.

A generous HV fit, tailored for wide feet

The HV (High Volume) profile of the Head EDGE 85 W HV ANTHRACITE features a 102 mm last at the metatarsals—a design tailored for wide or high-volume feet. This type of fit prevents lateral pressure points and improves the foot’s natural support without excessive tightness. The Extended Toe Box, which widens the space at the toes, enhances this comfort at the front of the boot while promoting better contact with the sole, resulting in a more direct power transfer to the ski. With a flex rating of 85, the shell offers flexibility suited for skiers looking to improve: forgiving enough to absorb technical missteps, it remains responsive as your skiing becomes more confident. The 14° forward lean places the foot in a natural skiing position, reducing muscle fatigue on long days.

Comfort and customization thanks to the Perfect Fit W Liner

The Perfect Fit W Liner is thermoformable, meaning it can be heat-molded to precisely conform to the anatomy of your foot. This process, which can be performed by a boot fitter or at a specialty store, eliminates friction points and provides a custom fit without modifying the shell. The collar profile is adjustable to accommodate the anatomy of the female lower leg—a design feature that reduces irritation on the shin during aggressive turns. This level of customization is particularly useful for skiers whose body shape does not conform to the standards of a mass-produced boot.

Precise Fit and Easy Entry

The closure system of the Head EDGE 85 W HV ANTHRACITE relies on several complementary components:

• 4 micro-adjustable alloy buckles: allow for fine-tuning of pressure across each area of the foot and leg.
• 2 Double Power levers: enhance support in high-pressure areas for more precise control.
• Super Macro Ratchet: makes it easier to open and close the main buckle, especially when wearing gloves.
• 35 mm Velcro strap: provides additional support at the top of the boot shaft for direct energy transfer to the ski.

EZ Tech Shell technology works on three levels: it makes it easier to put the boot on, improves walking between lifts, and optimizes your skiing position. This versatility is especially appreciated by skiers who frequently walk around the wine estate.

GripWalk sole and binding compatibility

The GripWalk-style sole (ISO 23223 standard) features a curved rubber tread that improves traction on slippery surfaces, such as ski lift platforms or snow-covered areas off-piste. This sole is compatible with both classic alpine bindings and GripWalk-certified bindings, offering flexibility in setup depending on the equipment you already own.

The Head EDGE 85 W HV ANTHRACITE is designed for female skiers with wide feet or large ankles who want to improve their skills on the slopes with lasting comfort. Its 85 flex, thermoformable liner, and precise lacing systems make it a well-rounded ski boot for tackling the slopes with confidence, from advanced beginners to intermediate skiers.
