Product Information
Full details
The Rossignol Pure Elite 70 ski boot is designed for intermediate to advanced female skiers seeking a blend of high performance and all-day comfort. Its key benefit lies in the precise, low-volume fit combined with customizable features for tailored response and energy transmission. A potential consideration is that the forgiving 70 flex might be too soft for aggressive skiers requiring maximum power transfer.

FAQs
Who is the Rossignol Pure Elite 70 designed for?
This boot is primarily designed for intermediate female skiers who prioritize comfort and performance for all-mountain skiing. Its flex and features cater to those looking to improve their technique and enjoy long days on the slopes.
What does '70 flex' mean?
The flex rating indicates the stiffness of the boot. A 70 flex is considered medium-soft, offering a balance of support and comfort suitable for intermediate skiers. It allows for easy flexing forward, aiding in turn initiation.
Can I adjust the fit of the liner?
Yes, the Pure Elite 70 features a Full Custom Liner, which is designed to be heat-molded by a professional bootfitter. This process customizes the liner to the unique shape of your foot for a precise, comfortable fit.
What is canting, and can I adjust it?
Canting refers to the angle of the boot cuff relative to the shell. Adjusting it helps align your lower leg correctly with the ski, which can improve comfort, balance, and performance. The Pure Elite 70 allows for canting adjustments, typically performed by a bootfitter.
Are these boots compatible with all ski bindings?
No, these boots feature GripWalk soles and are specifically compatible with GripWalk bindings. You must ensure your bindings are also GripWalk compatible for proper function and safety. Check your binding manufacturer's guidelines.
How do I maintain the warmth provided by the Merino Wool liner?
Merino wool naturally provides warmth even when damp, but to maximize its effectiveness and longevity, ensure the liner is dried thoroughly after each use. Avoid direct heat sources during the drying process.
What is the weight of these boots?
The weight is approximately 1,710g per half pair.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty buckling or unbuckling
Ensure buckles are clean and free of ice or snow. Check that the straps are not twisted. If a buckle is stiff, try flexing the boot slightly while operating it.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Revisit liner customization and bootfitting. Minor pressure points might be addressed by adjusting sock thickness or trying the canting adjustments. Persistent issues may require professional shell modification.
Boots feel too soft or too stiff
If the boot has an adjustable flex mechanism, consult the manual for instructions. Otherwise, consult a bootfitter, as flex is largely determined by the boot's construction and intended use.
Poor ski control or responsiveness
Ensure the boot is fully compatible with your bindings (e.g., GripWalk soles with GripWalk bindings). Verify that the liner is properly fitted and snug, and that flex/canting adjustments are optimized for your skiing style.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Liner Customization: The Full Custom Liner may benefit from a professional heat molding process at a ski shop to achieve the most precise and comfortable fit. This involves baking the liner and then having the skier wear the boot while it cools, conforming to their foot shape.
- Flex and Canting Adjustment: Consult with a qualified bootfitter to adjust the flex (if applicable via the boot's mechanism) and canting. Canting adjusts the angle of the cuff relative to the shell, influencing how your lower leg aligns with the ski, which can significantly impact performance and comfort.
Compatibility:
- Bindings: These boots are GripWalk compatible. Ensure your ski bindings are also GripWalk compatible for optimal performance and safety. Using non-GripWalk bindings with GripWalk soles can affect release values and safety. Check your binding manufacturer's specifications.
Care:
- Drying: After each use, remove the liner from the shell if possible and allow both to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can damage the materials.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior shell and buckles with a damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary, and rinse thoroughly. Ensure no water enters the liner.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Loosen the buckles slightly or use boot spreaders to maintain the shell's shape during the off-season.
