Technical Info
Dobermann PU Shell
To revolutionize the Dobermann collection, Nordica started with the boot's shell. By creating the most anatomical shape possible for both the shell's interior and exterior, they were able to reduce the boot's volume significantly–especially in the midfoot and heel area. This maximizes precision and response to further boost the Dobermann's performance.
Nordica carefully analyzed and then reworked the heel of the shell, reducing the overall length of the sole–regardless of the boot size–by 5mm. In addition to enhancing the stability of the shell, this reduced sole length enables a ski to flex more naturally and better reach its full potential. And by further refining the shell’s design and construction, they made the boot more responsive, allowing for quicker edge-to-edge transitions. For this fifth generation of the Dobermann collection, they also enhanced the interface between the shell and cuff, increasing the boot’s forward lean to boost control and response when transitioning between turns.

- NARROWER ON THE WAIST
- BOOT’S VOLUME REDUCED
- FORWARD LEAN INCREASED
Dobermann PU Cuff
Consequently, Nordica didn’t just revolutionize the Dobermann’s shell; they also reimagined its cuff. Using Tri-Force construction, they created a cuff that showcases both an incredibly strong spine and a smooth flex that can readily be customized to control the delivery of power. This amplifies support and accelerates response, allowing you to unleash your full potential. Yet they didn’t overlook aesthetics. Stemming from the complementary densities of plastics used in the shell, the red eyes–contrasted against the boot’s black shell–give a nod to the Dobermann’s namesake. Fast and fearless, this Dobermann holds nothing back.

Dobermann 5 Race Laced Liner
Concealed inside the revolutionary shell, this all-new liner is equally essential in amplifying the Dobermann’s legendary performance. Armed with newly patented technology, Heel Link showcases a band stitched at the back of the liner heel and connected directly to the lacing system. Securing the laces tightens the liner in all directions, anchoring your heel back into the heel pocket and perfectly cradling the contours of your foot. This design enables Nordica to use a thinner material for the liner and create a shorter overall profile for the boot, reducing its sole length by 5 mm. The liner’s thinner upper enhances sensitivity to create a more responsive boot, while a slim Velcro closure ensures the upper part of the liner moves in tandem with your tibia. And thanks to the lower liner’s strategic lacing system, the boot cradles the contours of your foot without creating pressure points. To allow you to further customize the Dobermann’s fit and performance, the liner includes a spoiler with an interlocking, two-piece design. Use both spoiler components for maximum forward lean, or remove the auxiliary insert to reduce it. Better than ever, the new Heel Link Liner is as fast as it is fearless.
