The 2018 Nordica Dobermann GP 140 is a no-compromise race-inspired alpine boot built for expert skiers who demand maximum power and precision. With a 98 mm last and a burly 140 flex, it delivers elite-level responsiveness and stability, making it a true weapon for aggressive carving and high-speed performance.

Why we like it:

It channels pure race DNA into a boot that feels stable, explosive, and locked-in, making it perfect for skiers who want race-room power in a resort package.

Who it's for:

Best suited for expert and ex-racer skiers with narrow to medium-volume feet who want an uncompromising fit and stiffness for driving demanding skis at speed.

Highlights:

The Dobermann GP 140 uses Nordica’s anatomical 98 mm last to create a precise, race-bred fit. A PU shell and cuff deliver consistent flex and stability, while the 3D Cork Fit liner offers both customization and strong heel hold. The boot’s power strap and four micro-adjustable buckles provide secure closure and direct energy transfer, while the Full Motion Pivot allows stance adjustments to optimize leverage. A race-inspired liner with Primaloft insulation balances performance with warmth, ensuring comfort without sacrificing responsiveness.

Things to consider:

At a 140 flex, this is one of the stiffest boots in Nordica’s line. Lighter skiers or those seeking a more forgiving ride will find it overwhelming, and should consider softer flex options.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Runs true to size, but the 98 mm last creates a low-volume fit that feels tight in the heel and midfoot. Best for narrow feet or those seeking a precise, performance-oriented shell.
