The Roxa R/Fit line-up continues to impress our testers for how it improves every year we test it. This year's R/Fit 120 IR was a hit with our team for its consistent, even fit that matched common foot shapes and held the heel and ankle well enough for good ski control through a variety of conditions. Testers say it lost some points for being a little more medium-width in its fit tension than they'd expect from a 102mm boot, but that didn't stop them from liking it!
The initial fit was even throughout the lower shell and cuff, they said, with the exception of a slightly too snug (certainly for a wide) fit over the top of the foot, but testers did mention that this fit inconsistency improved with some time spent in the boot. Testers thought that heat molding the liner would do well to even-out that tight spot and would help open up the fit during break in for skiers looking for a slightly wider fit throughout. The polyurethane Biofit shell design also offers the ability to heat-mold the shell via convection oven heating, so testers mentioned that as a down-the-road option for skiers looking for a bit more volume, still.
The entry and exit was easy, according to the team, who also liked the straightforward buckle-up and closure of the four-buckle overlap design. They thought the liner and shell mated well together, with no movement between the two, and connected the foot and leg to the ski in a directly linked manner that performed well for them. One tester said the R/Fit 120 IR was the best-fitting and best-skiing Roxa boot he'd ever tested.
Testers liked the balanced stance set-up offered by the R/Fit and said it would suit both up-and-coming intermediates looking to step-up their all-mountain skiing game or more accomplished skiers seeking a solid boot for no-frills ripping about.
