Salomon Shift Supra BOA 130 Ski Boots 2026

The 2026 Salomon Shift Supra BOA 130 is Salomon’s answer to the skier who refuses to pick a lane. This boot is built to crush laps inbounds and still have a legit walk mode for when the skintrack or bootpack calls your name. The mid-volume fit gives it a more accessible fit than a true LV shell, but the BOA lower closure and shell shape lock your foot down in a way that feels way more precise than other hybrids. The instep and forefoot are snugged up evenly with the dial, heel hold is noticeably better than past Salomon Shift boots, and the whole fit is easier to modify thanks to an update in materials. Getting into the boot can feel tight the first few times, but once it’s broken in, it goes from “hybrid fit experiment” to “actually dialed ski boot.”

On snow, the Shift Supra BOA 130 skis way closer to a full-on alpine 130 than you’d expect. Power transfer is strong, edge hold is confidence-inspiring, and it has a lively rebound that makes quick transitions feel effortless. It’s lighter weight construction makes walking to the lift, hiking a ridge, or skinning up a breeze, and the walk mode gives you plenty of articulation without feeling flimsy. The tradeoff is that it’s not quite as damp in chop or variable snow as a dedicated alpine boot, but for a boot that’s meant to do it all, the balance between downhill power and uphill mobility is impressive.

The Shift Supra BOA 130 is for the skier who wants a one-boot quiver that doesn’t compromise downhill performance. It’s stiff, precise, and powerful where it counts, with a fit that’s more customizable and performance-oriented than most hybrids. If you spend your days split between resort laps, sidecountry stashes, and the occasional tour, this is the rare boot that can keep up everywhere.
