Radar Slalom Ski Boots

Open-toe, closed-toe, hardshell and rear toe plates

Why boots separately. Tournament skiers and many advanced recreational skiers don’t ride manufacturer-paired packages — they fit a specific front boot, a specific rear setup (toe plate or hard boot), and tune the angle and lacing system to their feet. Sold separately, Radar boots let you build that custom setup, replace a worn boot without replacing your ski, or upgrade to a higher-spec boot mid-season. Front boot construction tiers. Vector Boa — open-toe with Boa dial lacing. The recreational and intermediate tournament workhorse. Fast precision tightening, soft enough to forgive technique errors, supportive enough for course work. Vector Carbitex and Carbitex Boa — same Vector platform with Carbitex carbon panels for stiffer lateral support and sharper response. Step up for advanced and tournament use. Vapor Carbitex Boa — closed-toe construction with maximum response. Sized to your specific foot like a shoe. Tournament-level direct connection between rider and ski. Prime — open-toe lace boot. Entry to mid-tier intermediate boot, simpler lacing, soft flex. Lyric Boa — womens-specific open-toe Boa boot. Cut for typical womens foot shape and lower body weight. TRA Kids — kids-specific cut, scaled and softened for younger riders. Rear toe plates (RTP) and rear boots. Vector Boa Rear — matched rear toe plate. Pairs with a Vector front. Carbitex Adjustable RTP — adjustable rear with carbon support. Slides forward or back to dial your stance. Hybrid RTP — between toe plate and hard boot; more support than a standard RTP without the full commitment of a fixed rear binding. Fixed RTP — full rear toe plate, no adjustability. Tournament setup. Boot vs RTP — pick correctly. Front boots take a full foot. Rear toe plates take just the back toes (most skiers’ choice). Some advanced tournament skiers run a rear boot for precise back-foot control, but accept the higher fall-injury risk that comes with a buckled rear. Most skiers should run an RTP. Bindings vs skis. These boots mount on Radar slalom ski blanks (and most other slalom ski blanks). If you have a non-Radar ski, call us to confirm the hole pattern matches before ordering. Sizing. Manufacturer size chart on each product page. Closed-toe: between sizes, go down. Open-toe: between sizes, the range gives forgiveness, but the heel still needs to lock in. Pre Order. Most current-season Radar boots are flagged Pre Order — locks your size at current price, ships when the manufacturer stock lands.
