The Active line of boots is for those new to skiing! This boot is constructed with the T4 outsole (compatible with the NNN binding system) which is stable and strong enough to endure day to day skiing! With a Fleece Softshell upper, your feet will stay warm and dry throughout your ski. The Active Wrap innerboot is stable and warm, great for the everything winter can throw at you! The Active Universal is stable enough to try out skate skiing, but we would recommend a designated skate boot for if you keep at it!
