The Nordica GP TJ Alpine Ski Boot for Youth is a scaled-down, four-buckle, front-entry boot designed for kids with larger feet. These boots have softer flex and shorter cuffs than adult boots in similar sizes. Shorter cuff length is important, because it allows kids to stand correctly in their boots when they're skiing. The GP TJ is designed to give kids improved performance as they progress. The four buckles are easy for kids to adjust, and provide room for growth throughout the ski season. Extra traction on the boot sole makes for worry-free trips through the lodge and parking lot.
