Is the Vizion 4B Pro 100 MV a walk-mode or touring boot?

No. It is a fixed-cuff alpine boot. The Step-In design is an entry mechanism — the back of the shell swings open so you can get your foot in and out with little fight — not a ski walk or hike mode. The GripWalk sole gives you better grip walking across the lot and the lift line, but the cuff does not unlock for touring. If you want a walk mode, look at Rossignol’s Alltrack line instead.

Which foot shape and binding does this boot need?

It is a medium-volume boot on a 100 mm last, so it suits a genuinely medium foot; a narrow foot is better in the Elite 130 LV (98 mm) and a wide foot or high instep in the 100 HV (102 mm). The 100 mm figure is a class, not a fit promise — a bootfitter settles the final fit. For bindings, the GripWalk sole (ISO 23223) needs a GripWalk-compatible or Multi-Norm binding; a plain alpine binding that lacks GripWalk certification will not accept it, and a certified technician should confirm the match and set the release before you ski.

How is the 100 flex different from the other Vizion 4B boots?

The 100 is the moderate, most accessible flex in the men’s Vizion 4B line, aimed at intermediate to advanced skiers. On the same 100 mm medium last, the Pro 120 MV is the stiffer twin for a stronger skier who wants more drive. The Elite 130 LV moves to a narrow 98 mm last and a stiff 130 flex for narrow-footed, hard-charging skiers. All three share the Step-In shell and the GripWalk sole, so the deciding factors are your foot shape and how much boot you can drive.

Description

The Rossignol Vizion 4B Pro 100 MV GW is a men's four-buckle alpine boot with an easy-entry twist: its Step-In shell hinges open at the back so you can slide your foot in with little fuss, then locks up to ski like an ordinary overlap boot. It is the softer, 100-flex build in the range, on a medium-volume 100 mm platform — the moderate, intermediate-to-advanced member of the line, in Silver Gray.

Once the two cuff buckles are flipped up, a patent-pending steel spine and a bi-injected spoiler hold the cuff in a fixed alpine position for real power and precision; release them and the boot opens for easy exit. It runs four micro-adjustable aluminum buckles, a Velcro power strap, and a heat-moldable Full Custom liner that molds warm and plush. There is no BOA, no walk mode, and no touring stance — Step-In means easy entry, nothing more. Forward lean is fixed, and Rossignol does not publish a weight.

The sole is GripWalk (ISO 23223), which decides the binding. It has to run in one rated to accept GripWalk soles — a GripWalk or Multi-Norm binding, not a conventional alpine binding without GripWalk certification. Have a certified technician check the boot-and-binding match and test the release setting before the boot is skied.

Buy this boot for easy entry, not for a bargain — at $599.95 the extra money goes to the Step-In hardware, not to more flex. A true 100 mm medium foot gets the best of it; narrow feet fit the Elite 130 LV, wide feet the 100 HV. These are bare boots — we fit you in-shop and match you to the right binding.

Rossignol's Vizion 4B Pro 100 MV answers one narrow, real question: how do you get into and out of a stiff four-buckle alpine boot without the usual wrestling match, and give up nothing once you are locked in. The back of the shell swings open so you slide your foot in from behind; flip the two cuff buckles up and a steel spine plus a bi-injected spoiler pull the boot back into a conventional overlap shell for the run down. This is the softer, more forgiving option in the line — a 100 flex built on the medium-volume, 100 mm last — for intermediate to advanced skiers.

The value here is ease of entry, not more performance for the dollar. At $599.95 it sits a notch above a standard 100-flex four-buckle boot, and the premium pays for the Step-In hardware — the steel spine, the bi-injected spoiler, the patent-pending Full Custom liner — which you carry whether or not you use it. If fighting a stiff boot in the parking lot is a genuine problem for you, that trade is worth making. If it is not, a conventional 100-flex four-buckle boot skis about as well for less money and less weight.

On snow the read is honest but partly inferred. We did not find a dedicated on-snow test of this exact 100-flex medium-volume boot; the ride reports we found are of stiffer builds, so treat this 100 as the more moderate, more forgiving version of what those testers describe. One credible independent tester rated the boot's skiing as negligibly different from a stiff Lange race boot, and called the entry a large improvement over an ordinary overlap boot — though not literally hands-free, since he still steadied the tongue slightly to slide in. Forward lean is fixed at about 13 degrees because the steel spine sets the stance, and Rossignol publishes no weight, so we state none.

Fit routes this boot by foot shape, not by ability. The 100 mm last is a true medium; the Step-In eases entry, it does not widen the shell, and the final fit is settled by bootfitting, not by the number. A genuinely narrow, low-volume foot is better in the Vizion 4B Elite 130 LV (98 mm); a genuinely wide foot or high instep belongs in the 100 HV (102 mm); a stronger medium-volume skier who wants more drive should look at the same-fit Pro 120 MV. This 100 MV sits in the middle of that ladder, which is exactly why it suits the common adult foot and the intermediate-to-advanced skier it was built for.

Strengths

+The rear of the shell folds open for almost hands-free entry, then re-locks into a conventional overlap boot
+A steel spine plus the bi-injected spoiler restore real alpine hold and power once the buckles are shut
+Four aluminum micro-adjust buckles for fine fit tuning; the two cuff buckles double as the step-in release
+Heat-moldable Full Custom liner molds to the foot and runs plush and warm, without giving up hold
+GripWalk sole adds walking grip and a rockered roll across the lot and the lift line

Best For

Intermediate-to-advanced skiers with a genuinely medium-volume, roughly 100 mm foot who want a real four-buckle alpine boot but are tired of the fight to get in and out. It fits older skiers, skiers with limited hip or knee mobility, post-surgery skiers, and parking-lot booters especially well — anyone who needs easy entry for a real reason and refuses to trade away performance to get it. It also suits a skier who wants a traditional buckle boot (no BOA) with GripWalk walking grip, running a GripWalk-compatible or Multi-Norm binding.

Limitations

−You pay for and carry the Step-In hardware; at $599.95 it costs more than a standard 100-flex four-buckle boot
−Entry is a big improvement but not literally hands-free — a tester still steadied the tongue to slide in
−Forward lean is fixed and non-adjustable, because the steel spine sets the stance
−No walk mode and no touring — the fixed cuff is an alpine stance, and Step-In only means easy entry
−Ride feel for this 100 flex is inferred from the platform and stiffer builds, not a dedicated on-snow test of it

Not For

Wide feet and high insteps: 100 mm is a true medium, and the Step-In eases entry without widening the last — that foot belongs in the 100 HV (102 mm). Genuinely narrow, low-volume feet, which will swim in a 100 mm shell and should go to the Elite 130 LV (98 mm). Beginners — a 100 flex is a moderate intermediate-to-advanced flex, not a soft beginner boot. Hard-charging experts who want maximum stiffness, better served by the stiffer Pro 120 MV or the Elite 130 LV. Skiers who need adjustable forward lean, since the steel spine fixes the stance and there is nothing to tune. Anyone wanting a walk-mode or touring boot — this is a fixed-cuff alpine boot, and Step-In is entry, not a hike mode. Value-focused skiers who do not need easy entry: a standard 100-flex four-buckle boot skis comparably for less money and less weight. And anyone who would drop these into a binding without checking sole compatibility — a GripWalk sole needs a GripWalk-compatible or Multi-Norm binding, confirmed and release-tested by a certified technician.

Common Questions

Is the Vizion 4B Pro 100 MV a walk-mode or touring boot?: No. It is a fixed-cuff alpine boot. The Step-In design is an entry mechanism — the back of the shell swings open so you can get your foot in and out with little fight — not a ski walk or hike mode. The GripWalk sole gives you better grip walking across the lot and the lift line, but the cuff does not unlock for touring. If you want a walk mode, look at Rossignol’s Alltrack line instead.
Which foot shape and binding does this boot need?: It is a medium-volume boot on a 100 mm last, so it suits a genuinely medium foot; a narrow foot is better in the Elite 130 LV (98 mm) and a wide foot or high instep in the 100 HV (102 mm). The 100 mm figure is a class, not a fit promise — a bootfitter settles the final fit. For bindings, the GripWalk sole (ISO 23223) needs a GripWalk-compatible or Multi-Norm binding; a plain alpine binding that lacks GripWalk certification will not accept it, and a certified technician should confirm the match and set the release before you ski.
How is the 100 flex different from the other Vizion 4B boots?: The 100 is the moderate, most accessible flex in the men’s Vizion 4B line, aimed at intermediate to advanced skiers. On the same 100 mm medium last, the Pro 120 MV is the stiffer twin for a stronger skier who wants more drive. The Elite 130 LV moves to a narrow 98 mm last and a stiff 130 flex for narrow-footed, hard-charging skiers. All three share the Step-In shell and the GripWalk sole, so the deciding factors are your foot shape and how much boot you can drive.
