The Gist

Heaps of room in this cushy hangar for guys seeking comfort above all else. The Advant Edge 125 was one of the absolute easiest boots to get on and take off.

Fit

The lower boot has massive amounts of volume with touches of tightness below the calf in the cankle zone. Testers dug the feather bed liner feel. The fit at the boot top was more snug than testers expected given the amount of space down below.

Performance

Reliable and strong enough edge-to-edge. Testers liked that it held up under load when they maintained a centered stance throughout the turn. The consensus was that the boot ran softer than 125 flex feel and had a very upright stance. That’s great for cruisers and lighter guys; more aggressive skiers had occasional difficulty maintaining a fore-aft sweet spot.

Cool Features

The Double Power Booster power strap is a hit with virtually all testers.  The Form Fit shell molding protocol teams with the Perfect Fit liner to fully customize the entire boot system to the foot and leg.
