The removable insulation system lets you adjust warmth and comfort to any condition. The synthetic inner boot with Solarcore® maintains heat even under pressure, while the optional wool liner adds insulation on colder days. The liner removes easily for quick drying and flexible use across changing weather or multi-day tours.

The Shield Skate is built for active cross-country skaters who demand both precision and comfort.

It delivers the control and stability of a racing boot, paired with unmatched warmth and protection for long sessions in changing weather. Whether you’re training, competing, or exploring new trails, the Shield Skate keeps your feet light, dry, and steady — so you can focus fully on performance, not the conditions.

This boot combines ALFA SHIELD technology with advanced construction. The innovative three-layer system — outer fabric, waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane, and knit backer — is fully integrated into one protective layer. The result is a lighter, more durable shell that blocks moisture and wind while remaining breathable, ensuring consistent comfort through variable conditions.

Every element of the Shield Skate is engineered for performance and longevity. The integrated Shield Technology™ with GORE-TEX® membrane ensures lasting waterproofing and breathability, while the removable insulation system allows you to adapt warmth to any condition. Combined with a carbon-reinforced structure for power and stability, this boot delivers precise control, all-day comfort, and reliable protection — no matter where or how you ski.

The Shield Skate features a Rottefella Xcelerator sole combined with a carbon-reinforced plate, delivering exceptional direct power transfer. This design maximizes responsiveness and efficiency, turning every stride into forward momentum with minimal energy loss.

The heel and shin cuffs are infused with 30% carbon, providing firm leg support while minimizing weight. This ensures precise ankle control for skating technique, while the lightweight design reduces fatigue and helps maintain speed and rhythm over longer distances.
