Phaenom – Ski boots that can do just as much as you can
Phaenom manufactures freeski boots that combine progressive performance with a radically different approach: making as many parts as possible repairable, replaceable, and ultimately recyclable. The hybrid Cabrio/Overlap construction fits as snugly as a classic racing boot, yet remains pleasantly progressive in flex—from the first landing in the park to a kick turn in deep snow. This is made possible, among other things, by the patent-pending Powerstrap, which functions like a third buckle and elastically absorbs shocks instead of simply dampening them. At ski-shop.ch, you’ll find the Phaenom fs 01 120 ready to go for the upcoming season, including personalized advice on sizing and adjustments.

Patent-pending Powerstrap
Snug fit, progressive flex—thanks to the hybrid construction and Powerstrap
The Phaenom fs 01 120 combines a convertible shell with a classic overlap construction, blending the snug, precise fit of a racing boot with the smooth, progressive flex that freestyle and freeride riders appreciate. At its heart is the patent-pending Powerstrap, which works in conjunction with the two buckles and gives way elastically during flex instead of stopping abruptly. If you land an edge too hard or catch yourself after a jump, the strap absorbs part of the impact and releases the energy in a controlled manner, which feels noticeably smoother and safer than with rigidly laced boots. The adjustable tongue can be customized to fit your calf and instep, while the removable, shock-absorbing insole noticeably reduces vibrations on hard surfaces. Three flip-chip inserts also allow you to adjust the forward lean in three settings (13°, 15°, 17°), so the boot can be adjusted from an upright park stance to a more aggressive freeride position.
Once you’ve tried the system, you’ll quickly realize why it’s worth the effort: less readjusting throughout the day, and more control in every situation. At ski-shop.ch, you’ll get the Phaenom fs 01 120 properly fitted and receive expert advice so that the flex, forward lean, and liner match your riding style right from the start. Especially if you’re switching from an older boot, you’ll usually notice the difference within the first few turns, because the strap absorbs impacts noticeably more gently. For anyone who’d like to browse the entire collection first, it’s worth checking out the Phaenom brand page, which features all available models and sizes. In just a few minutes, you can find out whether the 120 flex suits your skill level or if another model fits better. If you’re unsure, our team will be happy to help you choose the right model, either in-store or over the phone.
102-mm lasts – plenty of room for long runs
Wide last, grippy sole—made for long days off-piste
With a 102-mm last, the Phaenom fs 01 120 offers noticeably more room for your toes and instep than classic narrow racing boots, without compromising on precision. This is especially noticeable on long days on the slopes, when other boots have long since started to pinch and your focus shifts more to the pain than to the next line. The checkered outsole with integrated shock absorption reduces vibrations when hitting hard or uneven terrain and eliminates the need for a separate boot board. The shell and liner together weigh about 2.1 kg—a solid, but not excessively heavy, weight for a boot with a flex rating of 120. The removable, heat-moldable cork insole also adapts to the individual shape of the foot and provides additional comfort in cold conditions.
This combination of a wide last and a cushioned sole makes the Phaenom fs 01 120 a reliable companion for anyone who spends many hours at a time off-piste or in the park. You can find the boot itself at ski-shop.ch as thePhaenom fs 01 120, available immediately in size 27.5, among others. If you’re unsure about the right size, our team will be happy to help you choose so that the wider last truly fits your foot. Especially if you’re switching from a narrower model, it’s worth getting a quick consultation beforehand to ensure the buckle position is correct from the start. You can find a collection of other sizes and styles on the Phaenom brand page at ski-shop.ch.
Designed for Circularity
From your first kicker to a hairpin turn in the backcountry—and beyond
The Phaenom fs 01 120 is designed for advanced to expert freeskiers who are just as at home in the park as they are in the backcountry and don’t want to constantly switch between two pairs of boots. Thanks to the three adjustable tilt positions, it feels balanced in both the upright park stance and the more active freeride stance, without requiring any compromise on ride feel. What further sets this boot apart from classic models is its design approach: buckles, panels, straps, and screws are engineered so that individual parts can be replaced rather than having to replace the entire boot. This significantly extends the boot’s lifespan and aligns with the brand’s mission, as a B Corp-certified company, to combine performance and circular thinking rather than pitting them against each other. Anyone who has often been frustrated because a single broken buckle rendered an entire shoe unusable will appreciate this approach.
For anyone looking for a boot that combines park, freeride, and durability, the Phaenom fs 01 120 at ski-shop.ch is an obvious choice. If your size isn’t currently in stock, we’ll be happy to let you know as soon as new stock arrives or recommend a suitable alternative from the Phaenom collection. This way, you’ll find a boot that not only suits your riding style but also meets your sustainability standards. And if a buckle or strap does show signs of wear, the affected part can be replaced individually as needed, rather than having to replace the entire boot. This way, the boot remains your reliable companion for several seasons, whether in the park or on open terrain.
