There is a zipper front that covers up a lace up system. The laces can be pulled tight and locked with a plastic clip. It is very quick and effective and can be done with gloves on.

They ski well, however, they have very significant durability issues. I've used them for two seasons, and about 75-100... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177668787844 Thu, 24 Mar 2005 10:06:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177668787844?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_172986371716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sweetdaddy - Whats changed for the T1 Scarpa's ski boots have (thankfully) gone to a mondopoint sizing system in the 04/05 models, eliminating the confusing,outdated UK sizing they've adhered to in past years.

The X-Wave 8.0 isn't a bad boot for the weekend warrior, but if you're going to spend anymore than two days a week in this boot I'd look for something different. It's a little too hard of a boot for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~169939275396 Sun, 16 Jan 2005 23:03:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_169939275396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_160257576580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dkzzzz - Flex index 70-80 Very well made. 4 micrometric buckles. Liner is very well made. Probably the best liner I have seen. Very snug fit in a heel. Toe box is roomy. Too roomy for small feet. They run true to shoe size, which is very rare among ski boots... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~160257576580 Mon, 1 Nov 2004 22:21:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_160257576580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_160256528004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dkzzzz - These boots are well made. They are unique in a way that they have 5th buckle on instep. They all aluminum micrometric. But the inner boot is of a cheap variety and not very well made. Also heel are not very defined inside it feels sloppy and does not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~160256528004 Mon, 1 Nov 2004 22:10:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_160256528004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_153718656644?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ajohns5220 - I purchased my 120's in 2003. The responsiveness of this boot is fantastic. The boot is stable, quick, and transfers energy to the ski with subtle movements of the shin and forefoot. Custom footbeds are a must. I found the interior to be highly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~153718656644 Sun, 29 Aug 2004 22:02:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_153718656644?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_153595711108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author atarr - Lange makes great boots for those of us with narrow feet. This boot fits me very comfortably, especially after I sprung for the custom footbed (a great investment in my book). I have a level of responsiveness that I was really missing in my old boots,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~153595711108 Sat, 28 Aug 2004 21:04:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_153595711108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_139388096132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Quebecoise - Let me preface his by saying that I'm not an expert skiier. I certainly don't consider myself a ski-boot expert. But I do know what's comfortable, and what feels safe and durable. And I would say that the Atomic E:5 ski boots that I purchased this past... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~139388096132 Fri, 7 May 2004 21:44:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_139388096132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_133218471556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author whiza - This was my first non-rented boot and in the store it wasn't half bad. I skied a few times on some small east coast mountains with no qualms. I went out west and started doing more expert trails, and these boots just fell apart.

Initially, it was very comfortable after several attempts by the shop to adjust the footbeds properly. Skied 22 days on them in 2002-2003 and 15 this season. I think they are good for groomer type skiing,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~132889153156 Thu, 11 Mar 2004 11:56:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_132889153156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_131760426628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mittelsc - I bought a pair of Salto ST boots to go with my Rossi B1 Bandits and Axium 110 bindings for the 03/04 ski season. I bought them in France, about 20 km from the Rossi Factory. They are very comfortable, and are rigid enough for me.

However, the boot is far less limiting than a pair of race skis. It has a really quick response and fit perfectly with my 10.26's. With a lifter plate, the qualities of the boot come out even that much... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129285525124 Tue, 10 Feb 2004 03:33:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129285525124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_128551128708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author fbgoms - Ski's well...but the metal plate in the sole and 8 metal bolts through the sole make this boot dangerous.
