LangeRS 130 WIDE

CORE

There is no doubt that Lange have real know-how when it comes to racing boots. We were lucky enough to test the top of the range racing RS 130 Wide boot for two months. New for 2018.

All the Racing models are designed in two toe-box widths: 97mm and 100mm. The Wide is 100mm.

 

This RS 130 Wide boot is a real pleasure, not just because of its confirmed racing skills. We were pleasantly surprised by the ease of slipping this boot on, astonishing for such a specifically stiff boot. Your foot slides gracefully inside. Contact is soft, first impressions are not those of wearing a racing boot. Our only complaint would be the use of white material at the top of the inner sock and the tongue… dirties very quickly. There’s an elegant strap at the top of the boot to help ease the boot on and to adjust.

 

The superb ultra-powerful buckles are made from a matt material that is very easy to use and very pleasant to the touch. The two hooks at the front of the foot are in two parts to make it even easier to open. All that and beautifully streamlined too.

The adjustment strap is also 100% designed for performance and powerfully tightens in its metallic buckle. The surplus strap stores neatly away in a ring.

 

Even before you tighten-up the boot your foot is already neatly held to perfection. Once you tighten it becomes unequivocally precise. The firm foam adapts to your anatomy giving good ankle support and the foot sits firmly on the insole. The 100mm width was perfect, the toe-box is very well designed and we could move our toes a little.

 

The 130 Flex is well present, the pressure point comes quickly in flexion but not brutally. Transferring pressure from one foot to the other is like taking flight. Fore and aft pressure is a breeze because the RS 130 Wide responds to every request. The shell is injected with two types of plastic in five different points to further define the stiff areas and leave those that need to be more flexible.

 

The Dual 3D Liner World Cup inner sock provides customization possibilities. Its warmth is enough in most situations, but remember this is not a freeride boot. Make sure you close the boot correctly otherwise humidity will sneak its way into the inner sock.

 

At the end of the day this racing boot is aimed at powerful skiers who attack the slopes. Skiers will be in heaven not only for its performance but also its undeniable comfort (similar to the Lange RX 130).
