The Rossignol X5 is a super versatile XC ski boot that’s designed for use both on groomed trails in classic tracks and off trail when you’re exploring and breaking your own trail. Rossignol uses a touring specific sole design on these boots. It has a specific flex profile that’s designed to offer control over your skis, a natural feel, and comfort. The free hinge cuff design allows for excellent mobility and movement, while also providing good stability, which comes in handy when you’re skiing off trail in variable snow conditions and terrain. The Speed Lace Lock system is used on a lot of Rossignol’s XC boots and really allows you to dial in the fit of the boot. It has a feeling like it’s wrapping your entire foot, which translates to precise control over your skis. For skiers looking to get out and do some XC skiing for fitness and fun these are a perfect pair of boots. They offer a great level of performance for recreational level skiers and borrow design elements and technology from more expensive Rossignol XC boots. A great value, great performance, and a great fit; what more can you ask for out of your XC boots? We can’t think of anything. Now get out there and go do some skiing!
