The Nordica HF 120 is built for skiers who want high performance without the daily wrestling match. As the world’s first truly hands-free ski boot, it combines alpine power with unmatched ease of entry—so you can focus on skiing, not buckles. Slip in, lock it down, and go. Season after season, the HF 120 keeps skiers on snow longer and more comfortably.
At its core is Nordica’s Back Buckle Closure System, a sleek, intuitive design that opens wide for effortless entry and closes with a simple press—no bending, no fumbling. Paired with the HF Easy Entry Shell, which opens up to 40 degrees, the boot feels more like stepping into a slipper than a traditional alpine boot. Once engaged, the 120 flex delivers strong, precise power transmission for confident turns and stable edging.
Comfort doesn’t come at the cost of control. The 3D Cork Fit Primaloft® liner molds naturally to your foot, providing warmth, shock absorption, and excellent lateral response. A Power Driver strap smooths the flex while maximizing energy transfer, and Nordica’s advanced customization technologies ensure a dialed-in fit. The result is a boot that skis hard, feels great, and makes getting in and out almost effortless.

Ski boots are sized in Mondopoint, based on the length of your foot in centimeters. The chart below is a general reference for converting between sizing systems.
This chart is not a fitting. The only way to know your ski boot size is to be fit in person, either with a Boot Fitting at our shop or from a professional fitting you have had elsewhere. Sizing, shape, and volume vary by brand and model, and a performance fit is snugger than your street shoe. Unworn boots can be returned under our return policy, but a boot that doesn't fit can be a big hassle for your trip if you haven't tried it on.

Conversions are approximate and can differ by half a size between brands.
Ski boots are built with one shell for each full and half size, so a 27 and a 27.5 are the same boot with a different liner or footboard. That is why sizes are listed together, like 27/27.5.
Very few models differ from this. Scarpa is the main exception, pairing sizes the other way (for example, 26.5/27 share a shell). When a model is sized differently, we call it out on that product's page.
