The Lange Shadow 120 MV GW 2026 is the new workhorse for expert all-mountain skiers with average-width feet. It masterfully combines the raw power and precision expected of a Lange 120-flex boot with the revolutionary Suspension Blade technology. The result is a boot that feels incredibly powerful yet surprisingly smooth and dynamic. It allows skiers to access top-tier performance with less physical strain, making it the ultimate tool for laying down aggressive turns all over the mountain, all day long.

Features & Specs

Suspension Blade

This is the heart of the Shadow’s innovation. A blade structure on the spine connects the upper cuff to the lower shell, acting as an external power spring. As you drive into the boot, the Suspension Blade engages, absorbing your energy and then releasing it with a powerful, propulsive rebound into the next turn. Lange claims this amplifies your input for up to 26% more power. This technology transforms the feel of a stiff boot. It creates a deeply progressive flex, eliminating the harsh “end point” or “wall” that some traditional 120-flex boots can have. The result is smoother power delivery and a more dynamic, energetic feel on snow.

Dual Pivot

Working in tandem with the Suspension Blade, the boot’s pivot points have been re-engineered for mechanical advantage. Two distinct pivot points allow the cuff to rotate more efficiently, requiring less physical effort from the skier to flex the boot and engage the ski’s edge. This makes driving modern all-mountain skis more intuitive and efficient. You get all the power of the 120 flex with less work, leading to better performance and reduced fatigue over a long, hard ski day.

Auxetic Technology Liner

The liner is designed for a perfect blend of performance and anatomical comfort, featuring an auxetic material that expands in every direction when stretched, allowing it to form-fit precisely to the unique contours of your foot. In this 120 model, the boot uses the Customizable Core Custom 1 liner. This is a denser, more performance-focused liner designed to provide maximum feedback and a locked-in feel, which is critical for expert-level skiing. It is, of course, fully thermo-moldable.

Dual Core Shell

Lange’s proven shell construction provides the foundation for the boot’s performance. Two plastics of different densities (harder PU and softer PU) are injected simultaneously. The harder plastic forms the power-transmitting chassis and spine, while the softer plastic wraps the foot and aids in entry/exit. This creates a boot with a lively, energetic feel that delivers powerful rebound and precision without being overly harsh or difficult to put on.

GripWalk (GW) Soles
