Salomon MTN Summit Pure Boot - Women
Salomon has put a lot of time and energy into the “touring” boot category lately, and their hard work isn’t going unnoticed. For the ladies, Salomon made the MTN Summit Pure W. With a 70° range of motion, frictionless pivot, and svelte weight, you know these are ready to efficiently tackle large traverses, far summits, and midwinter powder harvests. To keep the tootsies warm and dry, Salomon added a waterproof gaiter, fending off all outside moisture. Like a seatbelt, the Touring Belt smartly straps back into the heel pocket, helping reduce blisters and improve skiability for those with lower-volume feet. Finally, these are partially made with recycled material in the sole and shell, so you can rest easy knowing the impact of these boots is minimal. For the days of pure backcountry skiing bliss, buckle up the MTN Summit Pure W.
- Recycled material in the sole and shell helps lessen the boots' environmental impact.
- Custom Shell HD construction offers a truly customized fit.
- Frictionless Pivots keep the range of motion feeling smooth.
- 70° degree range of motion.
- Touring Belt system powered by BOA is strong, offers good heel retention, and is light.
*Not compatible with Alpine-heel touring bindings (e.g. the Shift, Tecton, or Kingpin).
Update 2023/24: The boot is going through more of a grey phase, otherwise, it remains unchanged.

Hey there - I ski a 153 salomon MTN with G3 bindings - I'm about 156 and 53kg. I'm wondering whether I should change my touring boots (Technica Cochise 105 flex) to something a bit lighter with more cuff rotation and a softer flex - I feel the Cochise are just too stiff for me on this set up for a long touring day, but fine on my piste skis (Blizzard Black Pearl SP 82s). I'm an intermediate skier but I can get down pretty much anything, with about 30+ days of Alpine backcountry experience. Oh and... I've actually never skied anything softer than a 105 flex (though I know flex isn't really a standard measure). Any suggestions for a boot that would go well with this setup?

Hi Fumo, the bigger difference between a boot like this and your Cochise is the overall design and weight vs. the flex. Many lighter and uphill oriented boots like the MTN Summit have a tongueless design that is open over the top of your boot, allowing greater range of motion. But they are less confident on the downhill. A 100 flex touring boot would feel less supportive than an equivalent 100 flex alpine-ish boot like a Cochise. That said, there are certainly stiffer and less stiff boots in this touring category, with the Women's MTN Summit somewhere in the middle of this spectrum. With boots, fit is the most important thing, though. If you fit well into a Cochise, this MTN Summit would probably be a reasonable fit, but we do like to get into more detail if possible! Filling out our Boot Fitter is a great way to get started with that process.

Where does this boot rank in its class for skiability and performance? How would you compare it’s performance with other lightweight boots, such as Fischer Traverse or Scarpa F1 GT?
10/5/2023
Hi Greg,
It is very much in the same class as both of those boots. Between those models, having a proper fit will make a much bigger difference in skiability than anything else. If pressed, the Fischer is probably the softest-flexing of the three. Between the F1 GT and the Salomon, the difference will come down to whether you fit better in a narrow last (F1 GT) or a wider and significantly higher volume boot (Salomon).

How would the pure compare to the Salomon summit pro?

Hi Olivia, the Pure comes from the same mold but uses a different mix of materials. The Summit uses carbon fibers and is lighter and stiffer, especially laterally. Salomon estimates the difference to be 30 made-up flex units.

How do these compare in fit and width to the Scarpa maestrale?
I’m wanting a lighter boot that fits better

Hi Holly,
The Maestrale has a tall instep and medium-wide last. The MTN summit pure has a slightly wider last and a slightly lower instep.
Fit is of course very personal, so I'd recommend filling out a boot fitter for more specific recommendations!

Can someone compare the shell fit of this boot to the Salomon MTN Explore W? Thanks

Misti- The Salomon MTN summit Pure has a wider toe box, tighter heel pocket, and more accommodating instep with the use of the Boa system compared to the MTN Explore.
