The Gist
The Bold 120 is a super value for skilled skiers with higher volume feet (height-wise especially) seeking a blend of creature comfort and cushioning with real edge power.
Fit
Roomier than the category average and noticeably cavernous over the top of foot and instep—a great fit solution for the very high-arched or thick instep skier. The Intuition liner is well cushioned and on the soft side, which most skiers appreciated for the pillowy intial feel but a few also mentioned it allowed for a bit too much shearing movement while skiing. A thick foot and full liner molding will put it in its place, testers surmised.
Performance
Our test team was impressed with the power to the inside edge—derived from a slightly bowlegged stance set up that loaded-up the inside edge more than average—but testers said that the boot held that edge at speed and loved hard carves on smooth surfaces best.
Cool Features
The articulating instep construction made for superior entry and exit, according to testers, who also liked that there was a two-position (hard/soft) flex adjustment.
