2020 Nordica Strider 120 Ski Boots
The 2020 Nordica Strider 120 is a freeride-touring boot that balances stiff downhill performance with uphill versatility. With a 120 flex and a 100 mm last, it’s built for skiers who want the power of an alpine boot but also the mobility to venture beyond the lifts.
Why we like it:
It skis like a true alpine boot, yet the walk mode and lighter construction make it practical for sidecountry laps and the occasional backcountry mission.
Who it's for:
Perfect for advanced to expert skiers who spend most of their time inbounds but want a touring-capable boot for hiking, skinning, or accessing terrain beyond the resort.
Highlights:
The Strider 120 uses a lightweight Grilamid shell to keep weight down while maintaining strength and responsiveness. A hike mechanism offers 46 degrees of cuff mobility for efficient uphill travel, and tech inserts expand binding compatibility. The 3D Cork Fit Primaloft liner provides warmth, comfort, and a customizable fit, while four micro-adjustable buckles and a 45 mm power strap lock the foot securely in place. GripWalk soles add off-snow traction, making bootpacks and parking lot treks much easier.
Things to consider:
At a 120 flex, it delivers strong downhill power but is slightly softer than the stiffest options out there. Dedicated backcountry skiers may still prefer lighter, touring-specific boots.
Fit & sizing considerations:
Runs true to size with a medium-volume 100 mm last. The liner molds easily for a more personalized fit, with good heel retention and all-day comfort.
