Lange 2006 CRL 80 W Ski Boots Black W10/27.0

Size: 27.0
Sole Length: 317mm

Color: Flat black with dark red trim- this boot looks fantastic.
Flex rating: 80 - this boot is designed for the strong intermediate looking to improve or advanced skier looking for a good performance boot that isn't super stiff.

The CRL series boots were designed with women and juniors in mind. This boots provides great value but is a low volume boot. If you are more concerned with comfort than performance then this is not the boot for you.

Yes, these boots are a great deal, however, we strongly suggest trying these on at a local shop (now called Exclusive 80 or 90) before you buy. If you are looking for a cheap comfortable boot, do not get these as they are a low volume, snug-fitting boot.

The Lange CRL series ski boots are a highly successful combination of all the strong points of the Lange racing line: functionality, performance, excellent fit, and extreme ease of use. The CRL line has borrowed the technology, incomparable know-how and racers’ expertise from the World Cup line in a boot for a broader public that gives a mix of functionality, performance and excellent fit.

Features:
Soft Micro adjust buckles - padded for pleasant tightening, micro to dial in the exact fit desired.
4x4- Traditional system with 4 anchor points on the shell and 4 buckles, providing excellent foot retention and maximum skiing precision. For a skier who demands the very best performance.
Canting-Allows adjustment of the lateral alignment of the cuff in relation to the natural position of the leg. It is therefore possible to customize the trim of the boot to better adapt to the skier’s morphology.
Custom Air- A special version of Custom Air construction with enhanced softness and foot wrapping. All the liners in this range feature a customizable fit in the ankle bone and tibia support areas. Exceptional heat insulation with “Fiber Skin”
Width ~101mm Medium fit- 5% wider than the Lange Low fit in critical areas. This boot is for good skiers who are also seeking maximum performance, but don't want a race fit.
Overlap Shell- Traditional Lange construction, offering the maximum wrap of the foot and transmission of power to the snow

To sum it up, the CRL series boots are the ideal boot for the skier looking for a good fit that will enable her to jump to the next level, the CRL is about getting to the next level in your skiing and beyond without having the pain and stiffness of a race boot.

P.S. a little tip, don't forget to remove the paper in the boot before trying it on.
Also, the shell will have the mens size stamped under the boot, so don't get that confused with the stickers which determine the actual size of the boots.

These boots are the same as the current Exclusive 80/90 selling in the shops for $400 plus so this is a steal. HOWEVER this boot is not for beginners or low intermediates, it is a tight fitting boot designed for those who want performance. Those of you looking for a comfort boot should stop wasting everyone's time and money and buy a different boot. It doesn't matter that this is the best deal, if you don't want a performance style boot this is no deal at all for you.

Marketed to: Women (though juniors and men can use these too if the sizing is correct.)

do you have any idea about the foot volume comparison to a dalbello tx900 racingcomp, i cant remember when i bought them. they are very low volume and have been a great fit, very responsive boot and would be looking for something similar.

No idea how it compares to those, but do not buy them unless you get a chance to try them on locally.

I'm an inter skier with women's shoe size 6.5 - 7.0. I like my boots snug and prone to shin bangs. Do you recommend these boots? I think I have narrow feet (how do you measure?). Also, is my right size 24 or 24.5? Thanks.
-lupe January 15, 2010 10:13PM

We don't recommend these boots to anyone unless they have tried them on first.

I am looking for a very narrow boot- have very narrow feet and ankles and even my old Lange's are getting loose. I am confused though I wear a size 8 shoe but my old Lange Anthea's say 24.5 on the bottom and they fit fine in length
-Diane December 23, 2009 3:33PM

24.5 is about a womens 7.5 for a snug, performance fit. Even though you have worn the Lange Athena, we strongly recommend that you try on these before you buy.

Hi...I am thinking of this boot, but it would be a gamble. I an a size 7.5 - 8 ladies, narrow foot with a high arch. I often find that trying to snug up a loose boot will be painfully tight on my arches, and am thinking a boot with 5-6 buckles may help. Is this boot snug in the toebox, yet warm enough for Canadian winters??
-germaine November 25, 2009 5:36PM

any boot that fits good is warm.. as to whether it will fit you well, thats tough.. it s very narrow fit boot. It should snug up fairly easy naturally but whether your high arch will hurt is indeed a gamble. Sorry dont know if this info helps

I am buying this for my 12 year old son - advanced intermediate level. he has narrow feet...how narrow does his feet need to be to fit accurtely? thanks.
-darren October 30, 2009 11:09AM

If he has narrow feet even for a junior he should be fine.. normal junior feet are pretty narrow. Keep in mind these are performance oriented boots so will not be slip on slip off in any case.

1. I am in New Zealand, do you ship here? 2. Is the liner the same as the 2004 model liner? I bought a pair of Exclusive 90s this southern ski season and the toe area has just a very thin piece of neoprene, I find it's way too thin and if my toes are feeling "grouchy" they really don't like being that close to the front of the boot. The liner of my old CRL90s is the same everywhere, nice padding and my toes really like it. 3. I am 57 kilos (125 pounds) -- will I find much of a difference in the flex between my CRL90s and these CRL80s? I'm finding I'm having trouble flexing the Exclusive 90s sufficiently when I ski, they feel very "serious" as opposed to a boot that I can "play" in. This despite the fact that they are apparently the same flex as my CRL90s.

1. Please email us directly about shipping to New Zealand, or other countries outside of the US and Canada: info@levelninesports.com 2. This liner on the CRL 80 does not have the neoprene toe. 3. The difference in flex is pretty minimal between the two models, but you may notice the difference. If you haven't tried this already, remove the screw from the back of the boot to get more flex out of it.

i have a very slender foot, i can wear a size 7 to 8 in shoes, i was thinking of getting the 27.oo boot. i am an advanced skier with 20 years on the slopes, what do yo think.
-john m August 03, 2009 6:35PM

If you have a narrow foot (even narrow for a male size) this boot could be a good fit. As for sizing though if you are a mens 7-8 you probably wouldn't want to go with a 27.0 which normally equates to about a mens 9. Even with the narrow fit you shouldn't go bigger than a 26.5 for your size foot
