Salomon RS8 Prolink Skate Boot

The RS8 Prolink is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers or beginners looking to progress. Its stiff flex and Energyzer 2.0 cuff provide the stability needed to learn proper skating technique without being overly aggressive or unforgiving.

The liner uses heat-moldable foam that adapts to the unique shape of your foot and ankle over time. While it will naturally conform to your foot through body heat after a few sessions, you can also have it professionally heat-molded at a ski shop for an immediate, personalized fit.

This boot is compatible with Prolink, NNN, and Turnamic binding systems. It is not compatible with SNS bindings, so please check your current ski setup before purchasing.

While the flex is stiff to ensure efficient power transfer, the Energyzer 2.0 cuff is specifically designed to reduce muscle fatigue. This allows you to maintain proper form and comfort during longer training sessions on the track.

Yes, they feature a Thinsulate lining made from 78% recycled materials, which provides excellent insulation. They are well-suited for standard winter conditions, though you should always pair them with a quality wool or synthetic ski sock.

The double step-in strap is designed to open the boot wider than standard designs, making it much easier to slide your foot in and out. It’s a practical convenience that saves time and frustration when you're getting ready in a cold parking lot.
