24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A freeride boot that lets riders with narrow or medium-narrow feet push to the limit at speed and in carves. Pairs with boards 6–9/10 flex, and best at 7.5–8.5/10.
It's very easy to get in and out of, but by the same token there's noticeable heel lift if you only tighten the liner harness — you need to do up the outer closure properly too.
