The Gist

Aptly named, the Cruise 110 is built for comfort and skiing at an easy-going pace. Big instep room and a relatively low cuff height make the Cruze 110 a comfy berth for thick-footed skiers with meaty calves.

Fit

Super cushioned and soft, the initial fit and easy entry welcomes one aboard. The volume available here is gargantuan. Most testers felt like a kid in a California king bed. Guys who haven't been able to find comfort without up-sizing will find a welcome mat here.

Performance

The open cuff fit and tall instep gave too much latitude for less-voluminous feet and legs to wander about. Thicker insteps and bigger calves will fill those voids and find balance. More at home in longer, drawn out carves than staccato short swings, this ship sails along just fine through a variety of different snow and terrain changes. Testers said it packed surprising edge punch given how soft its flex feels. It definitely felt softer than its 110 billing, they said.

Cool Features

The Adjustable Cuff Profile (ACP) is a calf fit adjustment that can increase the circumference and flare at boot top. The Cruise 110 is the top choice we tested for skiers with truly huge calves.
