Salomon Shift Supra S BOA 120 Ski Boots 2027

The Salomon Shift Supra BOA 120 is one of the best options for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a boot that can crush the resort and some touring trips.  The Shift Supra 120 takes the same hybrid DNA as the 130 but dials the flex back just enough to make it friendlier for a wider range of skiers. You still get the medium-volume fit, the BOA closure that wraps your foot evenly and keeps your heel planted, but the slightly softer flex makes the boot easier to live with day-to-day. For skiers who don’t always want to wrestle a 130 flex but still need stability and precision, this is the sweet spot. Entry feels a little smoother compared to the 130, and it’s one of the more approachable fits in the hybrid category.

On snow, the Supra BOA 120 delivers much of the same stability and precision as the 130, but it feels less punishing when you’re not skiing at max effort, it's more forgiving. The boot drives skis confidently, has a smooth flex pattern, and feels plenty supportive for aggressive skiing without being overbearing. The walk mode gives you generous range of motion, so skinning or hiking is more efficient without compromising downhill chops. Compared to a real downhill boot, hybrid boots aren't as confident in chopped-up snow, you’ll still feel more of the terrain, but the flex helps absorb some of the chatter and does not feel harsh. 

The Shift Supra BOA 120 is perfect for skiers who want a true hybrid boot but don’t need the unrelenting stiffness of the 130. It’s still a high-performance boot with great heel hold, an even wrap across the foot, and serious downhill capabilities, but with a flex that opens it up to more skiers. If you split time between the resort, sidecountry, and the occasional tour and want a boot that won’t beat you up in the process, the 120 hits the sweet spot.
