High performance boots with BOA system and two straps for high hold and excellent response.The flex of the boot as a whole is stiff, but the cuff cut of the ankle is deep, so the movement of the ankle is very smooth.The boots are well reinforced from the calf to the heel, so the boots are extremely durable.Recommended for intermediate and above with leg strength.
inner
Perfect fit second skin is used for the inner.In addition to having a structure that has a sufficient fit even in the initial state, thermoforming is also possible.The ergonomically designed inner shape and insole with asymmetrical design provide high performance.In addition, it is equipped with deodorant and antibacterial materials, ankle-free fitting, foot width adjustment belt, inner shoelace that enhances fitting and performance, and an upper belt.It fits tightly from the moment you put your foot in for the first time, but as you use it, it becomes more familiar to your feet and the fit will increase.
Flex adjuster
There are accessory parts called flex adjusters on both sides of the inner that enhance the response and strength of the boots.This is to reinforce the boots when their performance deteriorates due to long-term use. The usage of "improving the performance of new boots" is not common.Please note that if you start using the new boots with the flex adjuster in it, it may be too stiff and your ankles may not bend!The recommended way to use it is to fit the boots to your feet with the flex adjuster removed. Just put in ...In the case of freestyle players, there are many people who say, "In the first season, we will not include flex adjusters."Similarly, it's a good idea to use the Flex Adjuster from the next season.I want you to find your own taste.
Outer
The instep is a BOA system on the side, and the upper part is held by two velcro straps. The two velcros are the same as the holding method of ski boots, and it is a system that pulls and holds the velcro after hooking it on the metal fittings.Since the force is stronger than when pulling the Velcro through the metal fittings, it is possible to hold it strongly.Also, since the upper velcro of the two passes through the inside of the outer, it can be held almost 2 degrees from all directions.Therefore, this greatly improves performance. It is highly evaluated as a unique function of head.
Cuff cut
The cuff cut on the ankle of the boot is asymmetrical.Smooth ankle movement and efficient board operation are possible.
Waterproof
By reducing the sewing of the boots themselves as much as possible, water intrusion is prevented and waterproofness is improved.As a result, it exhibits excellent durability, heat retention, and performance, and reduces the risk of injury.
