Dynafit Ridge Pro Boot
While many boot manufacturers proudly stamp "130" on the side of their touring boots, it is no secret that many of these fall short of their alpine brethren that sport a similar number. With the Ridge Pro boot, Dynafit talks the talk and skins the skin track by providing a boot with exceptional walking mannerisms and burly downhill performance. At the heart of the Ridge Pro is the Hoji Walk mechanism, developed by Eric Hjorleifson himself, which virtually eliminates any cuff play that is found in many of its competitors. When combined with the carbon-reinforced cuff, the Ridge Pro offers a stout descending platform that can easily drive many skis through variable conditions. As with all boots equipped with the Hoji Walk mechanism, the Ridge Pro is quick to transition, making you the envy of your friends with clunkier, four-buckle boots. Featuring a novel Floating Tongue design, the Ridge Pro boasts an excellent range of motion that makes big days feel less big and more fun. Finally, the Ridge Pro uses the tried and true Dynafit Twistfit closure system that conforms to a variety of insteps, allowing you to achieve your ideal fit. Whether the day calls for charging a single lap before work or doing a 10K day, the Ridge Pro is always up for the adventure.
- Hoji Walk Mechanism allows for quick transitions and virtually eliminates any cuff play.
- Floating Tongue provides a frictionless range of motion, allowing you to move easily on a big day out.
- Twistfit closure system provides a secure and customizable fit atop the foot.
- Vibram sole offers secure traction on slippery surfaces.
- Perhaps the best ratio of uphill and downhill performance we have seen to date.

Hi Jaco, we'll be able to measure these boots when we get them in! Hopefully sometime in January.

Do you guys know what the BSL is for a 26/26.5?
12/21/2023
Hi Jake, they are 287mm in that shell size.

Trying to decide between this and the radical pro... my assumption is the Ridge will climb better, but the Radical will ski better? (better to me means stiffer and feels closer to an alpine boot)? Is that accurate?

Andrew,
Yep, spot on. The Ridge Pro has better range of motion and is lighter, while the Rad Pro is a true beef boot. Worth noting that they fit fairly differently, the Rad Pro is much wider/higher volume. Feel free to shoot us an email at help@skimo.co or fill out our boot fitter form and we can get you more personalized recommendations!

Can you verify the weight of a 26.5 or 27.5? The radical pro upon release made a claim of 1380 grams in a 26.5 only to come in over 100 grams heavier.
12/11/2023
Hi Carter, our pre-production size 26.5 weighs 1255g. Shells are 1055g and liners are 200g, no insoles.

Very interested in these boots and will probably drop by once they're in stock. Is the fit similar to that of the Radical Pro? I ask because that's probably been the best fitting boot I've ever had - like I walked 13 miles in them in a day with no issue kind of good fit.

Hi Joe,
They are on the medium-wider side, but not as wide and high volume as the Radical Pro. However, they have a very cool floating tongue design that will allow the volume to adapt well to various different feet. It would be worth trying them on if you fit into one of the sizes that we are expecting.

What boots would you say this is comparable to so far given your testing? Is it more of a Backland XTD/Skorpius or something like an F1?
Similar to fit, what's it feel like?

Hi Klaus, the phrase 'category buster' is gaining momentum around here. The closest competitor in ski + walk performance is the Skorpius, which is a different fit. The Ridge Pro is *stiff*, potentially too stiff for some. There will be a non-pro version next season that is a touch softer, but just a touch.
12/24/2023
Hey jbo, can you speak to how the Ridge fits differently than the Skorpius? I owned the Skorpius, but never quite got it to work for my feet.

Following up here...how does the fit differ from the Backland XTD and Skorpius?
2/5/2024
Hi Aaron,
The Ridge is higher volume than the Skorpius, and wider in the heel/midfoot. It is more similar to the Backland XTD, which is a wider and higher volume boot. But the floating tongue does allow you to decrease the volume a little more effectively than on the Backland. So I think it could accommodate a wider range of feet on the lower end.

Any word on uphill comfort vs. the Skorpius II? I've put in 4 months on those boots, and I absolutely love the weight/downhill performance ratio, but I'm hesitant to bring them to some Alaska Range climbing due to the instep being tight (worried about circulation and frostbite).

Have you guys actually been able to try these on? Do you know what the fit is like? Hopefully lower volume than the radicals? Will you be getting 25s as well?
12/8/2023
Hi Justin, yes we have a couple pair for testing. Not quite as big as the Radicals; it has a slick system for reducing volume...the whole tongue can slide inward with the ankle strap and down with the Twistfit. Should accommodate a lot of feet. Sadly only 26-28 are coming this season.
12/8/2023
What about the heel and ankle in particular? I often size down to a 25 and the stretch out the big toe and width along the 5th met just to get snug enough in the heel and ankle
12/9/2023
Hi Justin, these aren't particularly narrow in the heel. You might be a candidate for the patriot liner sleeves.
