The Nordica SPEEDMACHINE 3 85 W R BOA (GW) ski boots are designed for female skiers, with a focus on alpine skiing and enjoyment on groomed or varied snow. This women’s model emphasizes the balance between comfort and performance, featuring an 85 flex and a 100 mm width that provide solid support without sacrificing flexibility. The lacing system relies on the BOA® Fit system, designed for a precise fit around the forefoot, and on a construction engineered to efficiently transfer energy to the skis. The bimat PU shell and PU cuff materials round out the design, creating an alpine ski boot that’s cohesive from the liner to the sole.

Precise fit for controlled comfort in alpine skiing

At the heart of the Nordica SPEEDMACHINE 3 85 W R BOA (GW) ski boots, the BOA® Fit system provides micro-adjustable foot tightening, allowing you to fine-tune the fit seamlessly. This system acts as a central adjustment point that helps reduce pressure points and stabilize the lower part of the boot, promoting a feeling of control on the skis. The 100 mm width and medium volume support this balance, providing ample space for the foot while maintaining firm support for long days of alpine skiing.

Thermal comfort and support thanks to the 3D Performance Fit W Primaloft® liner

These women’s boots feature a 3D Performance Fit W liner with Primaloft® insulation, designed to conform to the shape of the foot and minimize internal friction points. The 3D structure provides targeted support, while the Primaloft® insulation helps maintain a more stable internal environment—particularly appreciated during long days on the slopes. This liner-insulation combination enhances the cocoon-like feel around the foot and works in tandem with the 85 flex to deliver a balanced blend of comfort and support.

Energy Transfer and Fit Stability

The Bimat PU shell and PU collar are part of an energy-transfer-focused design, supported by 3Force Honeycomb Shell Technology. This construction aims to combine rigid zones with more flexible zones to channel the foot’s pressure and movements toward the skis, contributing to a more stable ride. Infrared Technology, designed for personalized shell adjustment, allows technicians to work on specific points in the service center to fine-tune the fit according to the skier’s anatomy, which can improve comfort without compromising the boot’s overall performance.

Traction and Ergonomics for Off-Ski Movement

Gripwalk® Extra-Grip soles play a key role when moving around the resort, providing better traction on packed snow or smoother surfaces. This type of sole is designed to make walking in ski boots easier, while remaining compatible with the Gripwalk standard. The adjustable collar design, intended to enhance comfort, allows the height and wrap of the upper to be tailored to the skier’s foot shape, which can reduce pressure points on the calf and improve overall fit within the boot.
