The new 2024 range of Nordica Unlimited boots offers the perfect blend of uphill functionality and downhill skiing performance, with the Unlimited LT 130 DYN sitting at the top of the range. An eco-aware Greenline Grilamid shell, 65 degrees range of motion and pin inserts make ascents effortless; the 130 flex, chunky 50mm Quick Release cuff strap and Tri Force construction deliver the power that good skiers will appreciate on the descent. A 99mm last provides a snug yet comfortable out-of-the-box fit that can be enhanced using Nordica’s Infrared customisation process and to really dial in the fit the 3D Light Performance Fit TF liner is fully thermoformable. Clever design work means a cable closure on the lower foot that easily switches from tightened for downhill skiing to a loser touring feel with an easy flick of the toe clip. The soles also benefit from thinking beyond the normal, with full length GripWalk units that offer excellent traction and are also replaceable, something not found on any other boot.

Overview
Fit
Medium ankle and heel pocket, average instep height with a medium width forefoot and round toe shape.
Shell
Infrared Grilamid EMS. Grilamid is strong yet lightweight so it manages to fuse the performance and support that good downhill skiers need with the lightness tourers want too, whilst also maintaining a consistent level of performance across temperatures, so you know they'll feel the same in the cold mid-winter as they do in spring slush. The Infrared Technology is a super-effective way to customise the fit precisely for the best possible shape.
Liner
3D Light Performance Fit TF, mouldable. For those looking for optimal performance on the approach, the 3D Light Performance Fit TF PrimaLoft liner weighs only 280 grams. It’s truly at ease climbing the longest and most demanding slopes. PVC free.
Key Features
Tri-Force Construction
Nordica’s Unlimited boots are shaped by both new ideas and the distillation of proven technologies. After all, sometimes the answers we seek begin with what we already know. For proof, look no further than the Tri Force Cuff found on the new Unlimited boots. Through the years, Nordica have leveraged their Tri Force Construction to create a range of boots tailored to the unique needs of today’s skiers. By strategically positioning three different densities of materials – a feat done by no one else in the game – Nordica’s Tri Force Cuff Construction boosts the fit and performance of a boot while minimizing weight. A softer front cuff panel wraps the shin to enhance fit and ensures a smooth flex when skiing and optimizes mobility when hiking. The cuff’s mid layer provides lateral support and helps boost energy transmission. Lastly, an exceptionally stiff spine supports the ski-walk mechanism to maximize power, control, and response. For the Unlimited boots, they developed a Tri Force Cuff that maximizes comfort and performance whether you’re skiing, skinning, or hiking. And needless to say, it also maximizes your fun.
Infrared Technology
Infrared Technology is a super-effective way to customise the fit precisely for the best possible shape. The shell is slowly heated and then a vacuum system is used to gently reshape the plastic where any additional moulding is need to get the best match to a skier's feet.
Hike Mechanism
Nordica’s Unlimited boots are built for life in motion – be that skiing, hiking, or skinning. That’s why they showcase a specially designed ski-walk mechanism. It maximizes stability, control, and confidence when skiing thanks to the mechanism’s lock-out feature. It also offers exceptional comfort and mobility when walking or skinning. Thanks to an incredible range of motion of 65 degrees, the boot provides the freedom of movement necessary for climbing the most demanding slopes. And to better meet your needs based on how you’re moving through specific terrain, you can readily adjust the boot’s forward lean. This is done by simply rotating the ski-walk mechanism block by 180 degrees. In one orientation, this block provides 13 degrees of forward lean for a more aggressive, performance-oriented stance when descending. In the alternate orientation, the block offers 11 degrees of forward lean to create a more natural, relaxed feeling when walking. No matter how you move, you can depend on Nordica’s Unlimited boots.
Wrapping Boots
The little things matter. And often, these little things ultimately aren’t so little. This is especially true for the buckles on the Unlimited boots. Guided by a commitment to enriching your adventures, Nordica reimagined how the buckles on these boots perform. And in doing this, they improved the fit, efficiency, and durability of the boots. Instead of classical bales, the Unlimited boots feature a streamlined wire closure system that cradles your foot to offer a precise fit that boosts comfort and control. When it’s time to hike, skin, or just loosen up your boots, you can simply undo the quick-release power strap and flip up the toe buckle to release the closure system, which loosens the lower shell for greater comfort and mobility. And to further reduce weight and provide a consistent and reliable fit, the remaining buckles on the boot use a special magnesium alloy. Buckle up–and never look back–with Nordica’s Unlimited boots.
Sole
To be worthy of adventure, a touring boot must be capable of not just enduring but also excelling in the diverse terrain it will inevitably encounter. Guided by this belief, Nordica set out to develop an entirely new sole for our Unlimited boots – a sole that was as versatile as it was durable. It had to offer exceptional grip to ensure it could withstand hiking in the most treacherous terrain – be that a rocky summit, high-stakes glacial traverse, or a parking lot coated in ice. Yet it also had to interface perfectly with countless binding systems while maximizing safety and control. This led to the creation of a sole that provides the legendary traction and performance of the Michelin GripWalk system while also featuring DYN inserts. This sole is compatible with both ISO GripWalk and alpine touring standards. And thanks to its screw-on design, the sole can readily be replaced to maximize the longevity of the boot. No matter how you define adventure–or where you pursue it–you can depend on Nordica’s Unlimited soles.
Greenline Grilamid
Nordica’s Unlimited boots push the limits of Grilamid, pioneering new ways to leverage the material and unlock its full potential. This polyurethane is exceptionally light and durable. It also has a reduced impact on the environment, as it is derived from renewable resources such as castor oil. And while the use of Grilamid helps ensure these all-mountain boots are incredibly light, they also offer an unparalleled fit and performance thanks to a tapered and precise silhouette and a 99 mm last.
