Salomon RS8 Prolink Skate Ski Boot

The RS8 is a skate boot for groomed trails, and Salomon pitches it at beginner and intermediate skiers. The cuff connects directly to the chassis, which sends your push through the boot to the ski and adds edge grip. The Energyzer 2.0 cuff adds back support that Salomon says reduces fatigue in difficult snow. Quicklace tightens with one pull, and a waterproof zipper covers the laces. The lining is Thinsulate R 78%, made with at least 78% recycled materials.
