Velcro Liner Strap: A strap at the top of the liner helps the rider get an extra tight fit, for better control at higher speeds. 6/10 Flex Rating: This flex rating means beginners and lower intermediates will find these boots great for learning. As speeds increase, lace them up tighter to increase the stiffness a little bit, until its time to upgrade to a stiffer model. Removable Liner: This boot comes with a removable liner. Removable liners have the advantage of being easier to dry than non removable liners, and the disadvantage of usually being a little larger than a non removable linered boot of the same size. Integrated Heel Counter: A fancy name for a piece of plastic in the heel that gives extra support. Low Profile Outsole: This boot allows the foot to sit closer to the binding and board for better feel and control of the board. There is still some shock absorption in there, so its still comfortable. PVC/EVA shell/tongue materials: Scientific blend (PVC and EVA are both abbreviations of longer chemical names) offers more durability and comfort than other, uh, less scientific materials. PVC Upper: The upper of this boot is a flexible PVC plastic, that feels about like a stiff leather. This material is highly waterproof and resists abuse well. Soft Touch Laces: Softer material used so your hands and fingers don't get torn up while tightening the laces. Steel Hardware: The eyelets and other critical parts of the lacing system are made of steel for increased wear. |
