Nordica SPEEDMACHINE 3 85 W (GW) Ski Boots

The Nordica SPEEDMACHINE 3 85 W (GW) ski boots are designed for female skiers looking for a versatile, all-terrain alpine boot with an 85 flex and medium volume. Designed for women, they combine comfort and control thanks to a 100 mm width and a liner specifically developed for the female anatomy. 3 Force technology and the bi-material PU shell ensure efficient energy transfer to the skis for precise control. The Gripwalk® Extra-Grip soles and the 4-buckle micro-adjustable aluminum closure system round out a design crafted for ease of use both on the slopes and across a variety of terrains.

A versatile women’s ski boot for all-terrain skiing

The Nordica SPEEDMACHINE 3 85 W (GW) alpine ski boot is designed for female skiers who tackle the entire ski area, alternating between groomed runs and more variable snow conditions. Its 85 flex provides firm support while maintaining enough give to remain comfortable over time, making it ideal for regular use at the resort. With an internal width of 100 mm and a volume described as medium, the design aims for a balance between precise support and comfort to minimize pressure points for feet of medium width. The weight of 1,700 g per boot and the carefully engineered structure help maintain a sense of control without feeling bulky.

Energy Transfer and Support Thanks to 3 Force Technology

At the heart of the SPEEDMACHINE 3 85 W (GW), Nordica’s 3 Force technology is designed to optimize energy transfer from the leg and foot to the shell and skis. This structural approach aims to make the boot responsive, with more even support across the entire foot, which promotes precision in edge changes and stability while carving. The dual-material PU shell and PU collar contribute to this performance by combining stiffness where support is needed with more flexible zones to make the boot easier to put on and improve overall comfort. The goal of this design is to offer a boot capable of keeping pace on varied terrain without sacrificing comfort.

Thermal Comfort and Liner Fit for Female Skiers

For interior comfort, the 3D Performance Fit W liner with Primaloft® insulation is designed specifically for women. Its 3D shape is engineered to provide a more precise fit around the foot and lower leg, offering better support while skiing and minimizing unwanted movement inside the boot. Primaloft® insulation is designed to improve heat retention, providing a tangible boost in thermal comfort on cold winter days. This liner is complemented by inserts and an internal construction designed to work with 3 Force technology, extending the feeling of support without making the boot too restrictive. The overall design thus meets the needs of female skiers who spend time both on the lifts and on the slopes.

Gripwalk® soles and a 4-buckle closure for safety and precision

The Gripwalk® Extra-Grip soles on the Nordica SPEEDMACHINE 3 85 W (GW) improve traction when walking around the resort, in parking lots, or on icy surfaces, helping to reduce the risk of slipping when not on skis. While remaining compatible with the Grip Walk boot standard, they provide added stability when moving around. The closure system features four micro-adjustable aluminum buckles, allowing for fine-tuning of the fit across each area of the foot and the cuff. This micro-adjustability allows the support pressure to be tailored to the shape of the foot and the skier’s preferences, enhancing steering precision without causing excessive tightness. Combined with the PU cuff and the 3D Performance Fit W liner, this system provides a consistent, snug fit, ideal for regular alpine skiing.

The Nordica SPEEDMACHINE 3 85 W (GW) ski boots feature an 85 flex, a medium volume of 100 mm, a 3D Performance Fit W Primaloft® liner, and Gripwalk® Extra-Grip soles in a design intended for female skiers seeking a versatile, all-terrain alpine ski boot.
