The 2020 Lange RSJ 60 junior ski boots are an awesome choice for kids looking for their first foray into the four-buckle world of ski boots. With a 60 flex and a junior last and liner, these boots have a great combination of comfort and performance. For kids, ski boots can be pretty tricky. They often do not know how it’s supposed to fit or feel, so getting a good read on the sizing is of the utmost importance. With a 60-flex rating, the boots are easy for bigger skiers to flex, but as a four-buckle offering, it’s a bit stiffer than the three-buckle design, as it does come up higher. Additionally, the power strap is ideal for cinching things up around the calf and shin, so even thinner-legged kids will get some security at the top of the boot. The junior last and liner are both comfortable and warm. They do a great job of keeping the kids’ foot secure while maintaining snugness to improve performance. The toe and heel plates are replaceable, and kids really seem to like to shuffle their feet on pavement and brick plazas, so that comes in handy for sure mid-season. The tongue loop makes it easier for kids to get the boots on, and as any parent knows, the kid’s first time putting their own boots on is equivalent to them riding their bike for the first time. These four-buckle boots are perfect for advancing skiers looking to improve all year long.
