22/23 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A backcountry boot developed specifically for splitboarding. The midsole uses a vibration-damping material that cuts weight while keeping it durable, topped with a grippy Vibram V5 outsole.
A heel stabiliser keeps your heel aligned on the way up and adds stability on the way down.
