Blurring the line between freeride skiing and alpine touring, the hard-charging women's Gea RS alpine touring ski boots are built for skiers who like to drive big skis and seek out aggressive lines.
- Redesigned with new ski / walk mechanisms for quick transitions and stouter power straps and updated buckles that provide a snug, performance fit and are easy to use
- Gea RS boots have a forefoot width of 101mm; women-specific fit includes narrower heels, lower cuffs at the calves and higher insteps than comparable men's boots
- Polyamide shells and Pebax tongues keep the boots light yet stiff for great responsiveness on fast descents
- Alpine Axial Shell design combines the best of both the overlap and cabrio constructions to allow easy entry and exit; with a lateral twist, the tongue moves to one side
- Axial Shell construction provides excellent volume control while maintaining strong support for downhill performance
- Touring-style Intuition Pro Flex RS liners use 100% Ultralon foam for a custom fit; liners offer good range of motion yet provide support with stiff tongues and cuffs
- Ski / walk mechanism moves freely in a self-lubricating housing creating a nearly frictionless range of motion for touring; offers 37° of travel
- When locked down, 2 pins lock the cuff for improved control and power transfer; the wire bail makes switching modes from ski to touring easy even with gloves on
- In ski mode, you can lock the cuffs at 16° or 20° forward lean
- Evo V-frame ribbing in the cuff increases the overall stiffness, giving you more power transfer to the ski's edge when bring the boot forward
- Air Ventilation Cuff has specific windows to enhance airflow and comfort, keeping your liners dry on long days
- Power strap allows for glove-friendly adjustment while wrapping securely around the outside of the cuffs, distributing pressure and bringing the cuffs close to your lower legs
- 3 Zeus buckles and a Predator RS instep strap on each boot lock your feet in place; buckles and instep straps are easy to engage with gloves on
- Boots are compatible with all alpine touring ski bindings; tech fittings at the toes accept Dynafit-style bindings
- Dynafit Quick Step grooves make getting into Dynafit-style bindings easy; fitting indicators can be seen from above to help you line the boot toes up with the bindings
- Flex index 120
- Lugged Vibram Cayman soles deliver good grip while hiking on rock and snow

• 1 Euro whole size = 6.6 mm = 0.26 inches
• 1 US whole size = 8.4 mm = 0.33 inches
• The 30 Euro sizes above cover the same size range as 24 US sizes.
• More Euro sizes provide a better, more precise fit for your intended use.
Rock Shoes: Scarpa recommends you downsize 1/2 to 2 full sizes from street shoe size, though downsizing depends on shoe model, intended use and personal preference.
Mountaineering: Scarpa recommends you upsize 1/2 size or more depending on desired fit. Scarpa plastic mountaineering boots are based on the UK sizing scale.
Ski Boots: All Scarpa ski bootsare measured in Mondo sizing. Highlighted (or not) sizes share the same shell size; the liners are lasted for each 1/2 size. Some skiers may want to downsize up to 1 full Mondo size, depending upon personal preference.
