The Nordica HF 85 W is designed with one goal in mind: effortless comfort from first click to last chair. Built specifically for women skiers, this hands-free boot delivers a smooth, confidence-building ride that feels as good at the end of the day as it does at the start. With a lighter, softer shell and a fully customizable liner, the HF 85 W makes skiing more enjoyable—without sacrificing control.
Nordica’s signature HF Easy Entry Shell opens a generous 40 degrees, letting your foot slide in naturally with no forcing or fiddling. Once you’re in, the Back Buckle Closure System locks everything down with a simple push—no bending, no struggling, no cold hands. It’s intuitive, fatigue-reducing, and perfect for skiers who value simplicity as much as performance.
Inside the boot, the women’s-specific 3D Cork Fit Primaloft® liner wraps the foot in warmth and support while improving lateral response and shock absorption. A precise cuff-to-shell interface via the Double Axis Pivot ensures smooth energy transfer and reliable edge control, while extensive fit customization options allow the boot to adapt to you—not the other way around. The result is a forgiving yet capable all-mountain boot that skis fluidly and comfortably all day long.

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.
