Bridging the gap between comfort and performance the Mach Sport HV gives newer skiers with “problem feet” a chance to experiment with performance fits. “HV” in our case means high volume, a term those of us cursed with lumpy, wide feet hear from bootfitters in their earnest efforts to soften the blow. While being uncomfortable is an issue, it’s worse to realize that a life sentence to clunky boots has serious performance impacts on your skiing.

Out of the box comfort is important, but there comes a time in every skier’s life where they want more out of their boots. That’s where getting your boots fitted- a process deemed essential by any skier worth their salt- comes into play. The Tecnica Mach Sport HV is a high-volume boot that allows growing skiers to up their performance parameters through aftermarket boot care.

We think these are a great option for riders on the more seasoned side of beginner. They offer you a chance to grow with your equipment- giving you the feel of a more serious alpine boot once you’re beyond the “keeping your skis straight” phase of your career. As such, Tecnica built them with a blend of performance oriented features like a more aggressive forward stance and a heat moldable shell, with comfort and convenience considerations for those who weren’t born on a chairlift.

Notable Features

C.A.S. Shell: The Mach Sport’s shell is built with an anatomical fit and has a dimpled surface to make aftermarket heat molding easier on your bootfitter

Double Quick Instep: Strategically employed soft plastic makes getting your foot in and out of the boot a bit easier

Lift Lock Buckles: Buckles are held away from the boot while not in use so they don’t get accidentally caught up while you’re taking them off
