Flex:
Flex Rating: 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Free Flex: Thanks to forefoot and shaft panels that overlap near the heel of the shell, this construction creates a supportive, surf-like flex.
Fit:
Blaster Tongue: Wrapping seamlessly around the shin, the Blaster Tongue creates a precise, locked-in fit that translates into an even more direct riding feel. An integrated handle makes opening and closing effortless, adding a practical touch to high-performance design. For riders chasing uncompromised response and long-lasting reliability, the Blaster Tongue is the clear next step.
Lacing System:
L2 Lacing: The L2 lacing system not only provides a quick and easy way to secure your boots, it also helps you precisely adjust two separate lacing zones—the foot and the calf. One handle and clasp close the upper part of the boot while another handle and clasp close the lower part. A pull on each handle secures your foot, allowing you to powerfully and precisely transfer energy to your board.
BOA: Dial in to a fast, effortless, precision fit with the BOA® Fit System, which delivers more explosive action and unparalleled accuracy. Boots with a dual zone BOA® configuration provide zonal adjustability so you can create a truly customized fit, for even longer days on the hill.
Sole:
Vibram Eastridge Sole: No matter the adventure, you can depend on the Vibram Eastridge sole. With an emphasis on traction and durability, it excels whether you’re hiking, skinning, or riding. Its proven Vibram ICETREK rubber compound is specifically engineered to endure very low temperatures and provide superior grip on cold and icy surfaces. Special climbing zones in the toe and heel area offer additional traction to make ascents safer and easier. And thanks to lugs with a self-cleaning design, the sole readily sheds snow, dirt, and rocks.
Additional Features:
Double Back: This reinforced rubber highback
at the boot’s heel zone enhances durability by offering protection from binding abrasions. It also stiffens the boot
to boost response and adheres better
to a binding’s high-back. By improving
the interface between the boot and
binding, the Double Back reduces movement between them, offering greater
control and precision.
Snow Shield: The Snow Shield protects
the lower part of the boot
from snow, ice, and moisture to keep your feet dry.
Back Bone: This reinforced panel
cradles the back of the
boot to maximize durability
and enhance response.
Rock Guard: This layer of rubber
wraps around the toe
box and sides of the boot,
maximizing durability by
providing protection from rocks and
ice
Bloom: Rise is an environmentally-conscious, high-performance replacement for traditional petroleum-based EVAs. Foams utilizing Bloom’s algae technology deliver striking performance values, which make them excellent replacements for conventional foams. Algae’s natural thermoplastic qualities allow Rise to meet, and in some cases exceed, performance characteristics of conventional closed-cell flexible foams.
