Head Crux W Ski Boots (Women's)
Description
The Crux W is built for women who want a real backcountry boot that still feels like it can charge on the descent. It’s light on the skin track yet carries a confident, alpine-like feel when it’s time to ski down.
The women’s-specific 99 mm last makes it a natural fit for narrow to medium feet, while the lower shell’s cable-style closure and two-buckle cuff give an even, locked-in hold without hot spots. The cuff height hits the sweet spot for support and stability, which makes long days in variable snow less fatiguing.
Touring efficiency is strong thanks to 55° of cuff rotation and a weight of around 1,250 g per boot in a 25.5. Dynafit-certified tech inserts and a Vibram Durastep outsole keep the uphill secure and reliable, whether you’re striding or bootpacking.
On the way down, the Crux W is lively and precise. Skiers notice that it holds up well when the snow gets rough and doesn’t fold under pressure the way some lightweight boots do. The feel is supportive and reassuring, especially for those who want a boot that skis more like their alpine setup.
Key details include an Ultramid fiberglass shell, heat-moldable liner, adjustable forward lean, a wide power strap, and an integrated RECCO reflector. The boot is tech-only, so it’s designed strictly for pin bindings.
Who it’s for: Backcountry skiers who value downhill power without sacrificing uphill efficiency.
Who it’s not for: Wide-footed skiers or those who need frame/MNC binding compatibility.
