Tecnica Mach1 MV 130 Ski Boots 2027

Bootfitter's Notes

True mid-volume fit. True-to-size length. Same shell length as the previous Mach1 MV, but don't be surprised if it feels a touch longer when you first try it on. The shell didn't grow—the new toe box material is softer, the heel pocket is easier to slide into, and the overall first fit is more forgiving. That's not a reason to size down. Once the liner packs in and the boot is molded, it fits exactly how we'd expect a Mach1 MV to fit.

Like the new LV, Tecnica improved the instep shape, although the change isn't nearly as dramatic. The previous MV already fit a lot of feet well, so this was more of a refinement than a redesign. The result is less pressure over the instep, easier entry and exit, and an even better out-of-the-box fit.

Flex-wise, this is a true 130. That said, expert skiers coming out of the previous Mach1 130 will notice it's a touch smoother and a little less stout, especially on bigger, harder-charging skis. For most skiers, that's a positive. Easy to customize, straightforward to fit, and another excellent evolution of one of our favorite mid-volume performance boots.
