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. Permanent Liner: This boot comes with a NON removable liner. Non removable liners have the advantage of being smaller for the same size and the disadvantage of not being quite as easy to dry as removable liners. Backstay: The back of this boot is reinforced for strength and stiffness. It gives you the support you need for any ability level. Integrated Heel Counter: A fancy name for a piece of plastic in the heel that gives extra support. 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. Molded Sole: The sole is a molded rubber pattern to give excellent shock absorption while riding and better traction when walking to and from the lifts. |
