NORDICA The Nordica boot lineup is daunting but there has been careful segmentation of market needs to be sure there is a perfect boot for every kind of skier. Last year Nordica introduced EDT, Efficient Dynamic Technology. Following two years of research and consultation with the University of Padova, a new lower boot was designed. The goal of EDT is to reduce energy loss resulting from distortion of the lower shell in advanced skiing. Nordica’s solution is a boot board made of extruded aluminum that is bolted through the shell with four threaded studs. According to Nordica the EDT boot board delivers an increase of 40% in boot torsional stiffness, 6% more lateral stiffness and a whopping 15% increase in biomechanical efficiency. EDT is found on Doberman Pro EDT.

Note: Last size (forefoot width) is given in mm. It means the inside width of the boot at the forefoot, about where the metatarsals are. Performance boots tend to be narrow (eg. 95mm) and less precise recreational boots are usually wider (over 100mm).
