Flex Rating: 7 out of 10
Flex Rating: The flex rating of a boot refers to how stiff the boot is, the higher the relative rating the stiffer the boot. Some boots will list 4 of 5, others may list 8 of 10; two such boots should have similar flex. In general more beginner rider wants a lower flex and more advanced rider a higher flex, but this is not always the case as some beginner riders like more support and some advanced riders like more give.  Tongue Pull: A loop of fabric at the top of the tongue helps in putting on and removing the boots. Pull it forward and to the side and your foot should slide right in.
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. JS Liner: This liner is molded to get a quicker break in period. The lace tabs are reinforced with long bars stitched into the liner to eliminate pull outs. 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. 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. |
