The Salomon Shift Pro 80T Jr is an alpine touring boot designed as a do-everything ski boot for kids. It's the mini-version of the downhill-capable Salomon Shift Pro 130, and just as capable both uphill touring and downhill shredding. This alpine touring boot comes equipped with an 80 flex, four buckles, and a velcro cuff strap - all of which combine to produce a downhill performance equivalent to other all-mountain, youth ski boots. But flick the boot's walk/ski mechanism into walk mode and use the built-in alpine tech inserts to tour uphill with efficiency and ease. This is a great do-it-all, uphill and downhill ski boot for your youngster to get introduced to all of the facets of skiing at a young age. Turn skiing, both on the resort and in the backcountry, into a lifelong passion. They will ski downhill with confidence and tour uphill like a boss with these all-around ski boots. For a complete on/off-piste youth package, consider pairing these boots with the Salomon Shift 10 bindings and the DPS Wailer Grom skis.
