Description
The Rossignol Vizion 4B Elite 90 W GW is a women's on-piste alpine boot with a narrow 98 mm last and a flex of 90. It is women's-specific — women's sizing, and a women's warm liner the men's models don't carry — and Rossignol builds it in Italy.
Entry is the headline. A Step In spoiler and locking spine drop the back of the boot open, so it goes on without a wrestling match, then clamp it shut for a normal overlap feel once the four aluminum buckles and the 40 mm strap are done up. Inside is a heat-moldable liner carrying Merino-wool insulation and a Thinsulate Stretch panel; the wool is where the warmth comes from.
The 98 mm shell reads as a precise, low-volume fit, while the flex of 90 sits at a women's medium — past a beginner boot, short of a charger's. It sells for $699.95. That figure buys the warm liner rather than extra stiffness: it is softer than the $599.95 men's Vizion 4B Pro 100, which runs a flex of 100.
Foot shape sizes the buyer. A slim foot suits it; a broader foot is happier in the Pro 90 W or the wider 80 W, and a harder-driving skier in the Pro 100 W. It carries no walk mode. The pre-mounted GripWalk (ISO 23223) sole calls for a GripWalk-compatible or MNC binding — so come in: we shell-fit and heat-mold the boot, settle your size, and a certified technician verifies the GripWalk sole works with your binding and release-tests the setup before you ski.

Flex 90

98mm— Narrow (96–99mm)
This is the narrow member of Rossignol's women's Vizion line, and the low-volume 98 mm last is the reason to choose it over its siblings — a race-inspired, low-slop hold for a slim foot. Don't confuse that fit with the flex. The shell is precise and performance-minded; the 90 is a women's medium. Independent bootfitter testers said it plainly — "consistent and reliable-feeling, not a race car" — enough boot to steer a ski with intent, without forcing you to charge for a payoff.
The pitch is entry and warmth. Getting it on is the draw: release the lower cuff and the heel end swings wide, then buckling down drives a metal spine that relocks the spoiler, cuff and shell into one stiff piece — testers rated it the easiest boot entry they'd tried. Warmth is the other half: the liner is plush and heat-moldable, and the Merino wool holds heat where budget boots use plain synthetic; the panel called it "puffy and cozy."
Now the price, because it misleads. At $699.95 this Elite runs $100 over the men's Pro 100 — yet it is the softer boot, flex 90 against 100. The extra money is the women's Merino liner, not stiffness or an 'Elite' tier: the women's Pro 90 W carries the same liner for the same $699.95. Read 'more expensive' as 'warmer,' never as 'stiffer.'
Everything else is fit. A genuinely wide or medium foot gets squeezed and belongs in the roomier Pro 90 W (same flex, same price) or the 80 W; a stronger, more aggressive skier should step up in support to the Pro 100 W. And nothing here tours — the Step In only helps you in and out, and GripWalk is a walk-to-the-lift sole, not a hike mode. Match the GripWalk (ISO 23223) sole to a binding rated for GripWalk or Multi-Norm (MNC), and let a certified technician confirm the binding is compatible and run a release/function test before it goes on snow.

Limitations
- −Flex 90 is a medium with limited headroom for hard chargers
- −Narrow 98 mm shell squeezes medium and wide feet
- −White is the one color offered, and testers say customers dislike it
- −No walk mode — a fixed-cuff alpine boot, not a touring boot
- −Rossignol does not publish a boot weight, forward lean or canting
Not For
Medium or wide feet (route to the Pro 90 W or 80 W), true beginners who need a softer, roomier first boot, hard-charging experts who want a stiffer flex (Pro 100 W), and anyone who needs a walk or hike mode (the Alltrack line).
Common Questions
- Why does this cost $699.95 when the men’s Pro 100 is $599.95?
- You are paying for the women’s-line liner, not stiffness. The Elite 90 W has a full-custom liner insulated with Merino wool; the men’s Pro 100 uses a plain Thinsulate liner. And the women’s boot is actually the softer one — flex 90 against 100. The women’s Pro 90 W carries the identical Merino liner for $699.95 too, so it is a women’s-line feature, not an Elite premium.
- Is the 98 mm last too narrow for me?
- It is a narrow, low-volume shell built for a slim foot. If your foot is medium or wide, the Vizion 4B Pro 90 W runs the same flex and liner on a 100 mm last, and the 80 W opens wider again. Rossignol does not publish the reference size the 98 mm is measured at, so get shell-fitted before you buy — 98 mm names a class, not a guaranteed fit.
- Does the Step In entry or GripWalk sole let it hike or tour?
- No. Step In only eases getting in and out, and the GripWalk sole is there for a surefooted walk to the lift. This is a fixed-cuff alpine boot with no walk mode. If you want a walk or hike mode, look at Rossignol’s Alltrack women’s line. Fit the GripWalk (ISO 23223) sole to a binding rated for GripWalk or Multi-Norm soles, and have a certified technician confirm compatibility and run a release test.
