With a narrow last and a 90-flex, the Rossignol Pure Elite 90 women’s ski boots are precise and form-fitting while allowing for a mid-level flex for intermediate skiers with more slender feet. By sharing the same mold as the higher-performance boots in Rossignol’s line, the Pure Elite 90 benefits from the lower volume fit with a slightly more accessible flex.

Why we like it:

We like the traditional nature of this boot with a four-buckle overlap design. Since it’s technology borrowed from the race room, there’s strong performance built in. We also like the nice features like a furry liner and a 40 mm power strap that gives this boot a high-end fit and finish.

Who it's for:

This is a great boot for an intermediate or advanced skier who is progressing through the levels. You also have a relatively narrow or low-volume foot as these boots are on the slender side.

Highlights:

The fuzzy liner is very eye-catching and with merino wool in the insulation, warmth is a priority for sure. This is a real boot with crisp engineering, even though it lacks some of the features of more modern-looking recreational boots.

Things to consider:

At 98 mm wide in the forefoot, this is on the narrower side of the ski boot spectrum. If you enjoy precise fitting in your athletic footwear, this is the place to be.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These boots tend to feel smaller than average due to the low-volume fit.
