Lace Lock: A mini friction device replaces a couple eyelets of this boot to make sure the laces don't slide around when tying up or when riding. 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. Backstay: The back of this boot is reinforced for strength and stiffness. It gives you the support you need for any ability level. Dual Density Rubber Sole: One type or rubber to add stiffness to the sole, a softer rubber to increase grip. 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. Steel Hardware: The eyelets and other critical parts of the lacing system are made of steel for increased wear. Thermo Liner: A removable liner that has the ability to quickly mold to the shape of the rider's feet and ankles. Just with body heat and pressure (wearing them), the liner starts to take shape for a near-custom fit. |
