Best Women's boots 2025

There are those who will continue to choose their boots favoring above all comfort and warmth. That's undeniable. But there are also those who seek support and precision in their boot choice. The world of women's boots is developing in this direction (albeit still lagging a few years behind men’s versions), and today’s women tourers can finally find the right balance between support and comfort, choosing from a growing catalog that offers increasingly enhanced downhill performance.

Since debuting in the Light category, this boot has always been one of the most widely appreciated, and with the new classification of the awards by category also in the Women’s section, it earns by right the title of Boot of the Year. Whilst still less than a kilo, the feel is that of the reliability and stability you’d expect from a much heavier boot. It’s swift and smooth on the uphill, inspiring the urge to rack up the vert. Precise and responsive in descent. A attractive combo!

We had no doubts when awarding this prize: Gea is the perfect choice for women tourers seeking a touring boot, as defined by the new meaning of the term. Ergonomic padding, significant range of motion, excellent support and outstanding power in descent. Trust us, this will be love at first sight... erm, fit! For the more demanding there’s the RS version.

The moment has come to call a halt to boots that can’t be walked in. The hybrid world does exist, and that includes women’s freeride, understood to mean a discipline that includes missions with at least a few hundred meters of ascent. Rigid, precise, and responsive. A weapon of mass destruction if you're speaking about powder and exhilarating descents. Oh, and walking performance matches the best in the category. What more could you ask for?
