Putting on new boots is one of the joys of every season."QUANTOS BOA FOCUS"This is a new model that combines a firm hold and flexible comfort with the double BOA. This time, Head boots rider Taniguchi will give us his real impressions after actually putting them on and riding them.
Q1: What was your impression when you first saw the new boots, "QUANTOS BOA FOCUS"? How did they feel when you actually put your feet in them?
Taniguchi:When I first saw them, my first impression was that they were double BOA and looked like they would fit really well. When I actually put my feet in them, just as I had imagined, they felt like they were snugly wrapped around my feet. When I moved around, they were very flexible, and I was impressed by how they didn't restrict my ankle movement at all, allowing a natural range of motion.
Q2: What impressed you the most when you actually tried them out for a ride? Tell us about the flex and the BOA FOCUS system.
Taniguchi:It was more solidly made than I expected, with particularly strong lateral support, and my position was very stable even while carving. In terms of forward flex, it is softer than other models, such as the TEAM BOA FOCUS, but the straps hold firmly, so I felt secure knowing that my feet would be firmly stopped where I needed them. The dual BOA is quick and easy to put on and take off. It is easy to finely adjust the tightness, and the overall fit is very good, as it can be tightly tightened from the ankle up. It is an all-round boot, and I think it will perform well not only when carving, but also in the park.
Q3: What size sneakers or other shoes do you normally wear? How did the QUANTOS BOA FOCUS fit?
Taniguchi:I usually wear shoes that are 25.5cm, so I chose the same size 25.5cm for these boots. However, I actually felt that 25.0cm would be fine. I have narrow ankles, so if you are concerned about fit or have narrow feet, you might want to try going down half a size.
Q4: What kind of rider or style do you think these boots are suitable for? Please tell us if you feel they have been improved in any way compared to previous or other models.
Taniguchi: With its extremely all-round performance, I think it is a boot that will suit many riders, regardless of style or level. It can be used in a wide range of situations, from groomed runs to parks, powder, and rough terrain. It is also attractive that it can be used by a wide range of riders, from beginners to advanced. However, for situations where external forces are particularly strong, such as high-speed carving, big mountains, and steep slopes, it is better to use a model that was developed for that purpose."TEAM BOA HYBRID"By using different boots depending on the situation, you can achieve greater comfort and higher performance.
Q5: What kind of skiing do you want to enjoy with the QUANTOS BOA FOCUS in the future? Please give a message to those who are interested in these boots!
Taniguchi:From now on, I want to enjoy the mountains more freely. These boots will be useful not only on groomed runs, but also in a variety of situations such as playing on the terrain, parks, powder, and uneven ground. If you are interested in the QUANTOS BOA FOCUS, please try them out for yourself. I'm sure you will be surprised by how well they fit and become addicted.
The sense of unity you feel from the moment you put them on, and the performance to meet a variety of situations. The QUANTOS BOA FOCUS is a reliable shoe that fits all riders who want to expand the range of their riding. We encourage you to try out this comfort and operability for yourself.
