The Fischer RC5 Skate Cross Country Ski Boots are an excellent option for advanced level skate-skiers who want performance, comfort, and efficiency. Starting with the most important aspect of any type of ski boot is the comfort. With Fischer’s Comfort Guard technology, the RC5 is packed with a thermal lining that boosts the warmth of the boot to keep you on the trails longer. Fischer’s Speed Lock lacing system is a quick and efficient way to lace up your boots with just a quick pull of a plastic tab that will keep your feet locked in place all day long. The Hinged Polymer Cuff helps keep ankles supported and strong for efficient gliding motions that help to generate more power into your strides. Fischer throws in lace covers to help keep unwanted moisture out of your boots, while the easy entry loops give you a place to hold onto so you can easily guide your feet in. The reinforced heel pocket can be heat-molded for superior comfort, support, and snugness that mirrors the fit of a fully custom boot.
