Lange RSJ 60 2026 - Junior

The Lange RSJ 60 2026 is the perfect "bridge boot" for the intermediate young skier who is progressing rapidly. Its key selling point is the upgrade to a four-buckle design, which offers the enhanced control and precision needed to move from skidding to carving. It provides a taste of real performance and the support to ski the whole mountain with confidence, all while maintaining the comfort and appropriate flex that a developing skier needs. It is the ideal choice for a child who has outgrown their first pair of boots and is ready to get serious about their skiing.

Features & Specs

Four-Buckle Design

This is the most significant upgrade from the RSJ 50 and the key performance feature of this boot.

The boot utilizes a full, four-buckle closure system with micro-adjustable aluminum buckles. The four-buckle design provides a much more secure and precise wrap around the entire foot and lower leg. This improved heel hold and support translates directly to better control over the ski, which is essential as kids start to ski faster and make more powerful, carved turns. It teaches them how a true performance boot should fit and feel.

Junior Performance Shell

The shell is engineered to provide support while remaining accessible for a lighter-weight skier.

The boot uses a mono-injection Polyolefin shell designed for a smooth, consistent flex. The 60 flex rating is firm enough to provide support but soft enough that a child can still bend it properly. It allows the young skier to practice proper technique—flexing at the ankles and pressuring the tongue of the boot—while offering the stability needed for higher speeds and more challenging terrain than they would ski in the RSJ 50.

Junior-Specific Cuff

Anatomical correctness is crucial for a child's development and comfort.

The boot cuff is shorter to match the anatomy of a child's leg. This prevents the boot from interfering with the calf muscle, which is uncomfortable and forces the skier into a poor, "backseat" stance. The proper cuff height promotes a natural, balanced athletic stance over the skis.

Junior Liner

The liner is built to balance comfort, warmth, and performance.

It is anatomically shaped for a child's foot and provides a snug fit to keep the foot in place. It ensures all-day comfort and warmth, which is key to keeping kids happy on the hill. The secure fit prevents the foot from sliding, giving the child a more direct connection to the boot and better ski control.

Replaceable Soles

A practical feature that enhances safety and longevity.

The Alpine toe and heel pieces are screwed on and can be replaced when they wear out from walking on hard surfaces. This ensures the boot maintains a safe and reliable connection to the binding throughout its life, making it a safer and more durable investment.
