The debate between BOA® closures and traditional buckles will continue to shape the market for years to come. With the Nordica Speedmachine 3 130 BOA, Nordica isn't reinventing the wheel—it's refining an already successful design. The boot still uses the same high-quality materials and liners, but the BOA® system offers easier adjustability and a smoother, more precise fit compared to traditional buckles.

While it may take longer to tighten at the top of the lift, BOA® allows for quick, simple adjustments at the end of the day. The 130 flex offers top-tier performance, and the mid-volume fit works well for most skiers. With GripWalk® soles, it's easy to walk in, though it lacks a walk mode due to its fixed cuff.

For those with narrower or wider feet, consider Nordica’s Promachine or Sportmachine lines. To find the perfect fit, consult with a boot fitter to determine the right flex, volume, and shell size.
