What flex should a woman choose in the Veloce Space line?

General guideline: 95 flex for strong intermediates around 120–150lb, 105 for advanced skiers 140–170lb who ski hard. These are rough numbers — ability matters more than weight. If you are between sizes, go softer unless you are an aggressive skier.

Can I use this boot for touring?

Walk mode and the GripWalk sole make sidecountry and short hikes on foot manageable. It has no tech inserts, so it cannot be used with pin/tech touring bindings. For dedicated backcountry touring, a lighter AT-specific boot with tech inserts will save energy on the uphill.

Description

The Veloce Space 105 W Dual is Dalbello's BOA-closure performance boot built specifically for women. The shell is a bi-injected overlap construction — stiffer at the ankle pocket, slightly more forgiving through the upper cuff — and the 105 flex puts real edge pressure underfoot without demanding race-level leg strength. What makes it different from a standard buckle boot is the Dual BOA system: two independent dials, one for the lower foot and one for the upper cuff, so you dial in each zone separately. That means no pressure hot spots from a single buckle band doing too much work. The liner is the IF Pro Space W, fully heat-moldable and built with an AUTOFIT tongue that takes the shape of your shin and calf after a heat session. The ANKLE SENSE padding — an asymmetrical, anatomically pre-shaped malleolus wrap — works with the BOA dial to keep the ankle anchored precisely where power transfer actually begins. There is a walk mode that partially releases the cuff from the shell, and the boots come premounted on GripWalk soles (ISO 23223), which need a binding certified to accept them — GripWalk-specific, MNC, or MN. They will not work in a binding that only accepts an ISO 5355 alpine sole, and this boot has no tech inserts, so it cannot be used with pin/tech touring bindings at all. Have a technician read the certified sole types off your binding before mounting.

This boot fits intermediate-to-advanced women skiers on a medium-volume foot: the last measures 101mm, which suits a standard to slightly wide forefoot but a reasonably average heel and ankle. Dalbello officially rates it advanced-to-expert, so treat the intermediate end as "strong intermediate" — a confident skier who's outgrowing a softer boot, not someone still working through blues. If your foot is narrow (under 99mm) you will get slop in the forefoot that no BOA dial will fully resolve — try on the Dalbello Cabrio LV 95 W (99mm last) or another low-volume boot instead. If your foot runs genuinely wide (above 102-103mm), the shell will feel tight even after heat molding and you need a higher-volume or wider-last boot. On flex: a beginner or lighter recreational skier does not need a 105 and will fight the stiffness on easier terrain. At the other end, the women's Veloce Space line stops at 105 — if you're a true expert or aggressive carver who wants more boot under high speed, that means stepping outside this model to a stiffer women's-specific boot (and re-checking the last), not a higher flex in this same line. The entry point is snug by design — there is a Quick Fit Panel to help, but plan a proper fitting session to make sure the heel sits correctly in the pocket before you dial anything in. Come in and bring your footbeds if you have them; flex and last width both have to match the foot in front of us, not just the number on the box.

The 105 W Dual is the top women's boot in the Veloce Space line, and it brings the full BOA Dual Dial experience to a women's-specific shell. Two independent cable loops per side let you dial forefoot snugness separately from cuff tension — a level of control that used to require a bootfitter visit every morning. The Quick Fit Panel makes entry easy, which matters when you're standing in a cold parking lot.

The IF Pro Space W liner uses AUTOFIT memory foam at the tongue and collar plus Ankle Sense malleolus shaping, so the BOA cables have properly contoured surfaces to work against. At 101mm this is a medium fit — great for slender feet, but wider feet should try before buying. If 105 flex feels like too much, the Space 95 W is the same platform with a friendlier flex.

Strengths

+BOA Dual Dial — independent forefoot and cuff micro-adjustment
+IF Pro Space W liner with AUTOFIT memory foam and Ankle Sense
+Quick Fit Panel entry saves time and frustration in cold conditions

Best For

Advanced women with medium-width feet who want the best BOA fit technology in a women's-specific shell.

Limitations

−101mm medium last — not ideal for wide or high-volume feet (102mm+)
−Premium $581 price tag — the Space 95 W saves money with single-dial BOA
−105 flex is stiff for women under 140lb unless you ski aggressively

Not For

Wide feet (103mm+ → consider wider options), beginners, or budget-conscious buyers who don't need Dual Dial.
