Vans Encore Boa Snowboard Boots - Women's - 2011/2012
The original and best-selling Vans Encore Boa snowboard boots just keep getting better. A soft, forgiving flex and quick and easily adjustable closures make you forget you're even wearing boots. Boa® Coiler lacing system, with ankle and cable guides along entire edge of eyestays, distributes closure force evenly for a dialed-in fit that won't loosen up. Boa lacing offers on-the-fly adjustment and never comes untied; you get consistent closure without pressure points. Flexible cuffs provide comfortable and secure closure around ankles and lower legs, and enhance body-to-board responsiveness. Trifit X thermal-formable liners with asymmetric heel-holding inserts feature closed-seam fleece upper cuffs, comfort flex toe boxes and low-volume soles. Open-cell foam interior cushioning layer adds plush comfort. Molded EVA high-rebound footbeds feature integrated arch supports, molded arch supports and breathable airflow perforations; footbeds are treated to fight odors. Center tongue construction and internal web harnesses pad feet and lock them down for controlled riding. Vanslite Snowaffle soles feature a 1-piece, injected-molded EVA midsole/bottom unit with strategically placed rubber in high-wear areas for enhanced board feel and response. Inverted waffle tread pattern's stiffness gradually decreases from heels to toes, maximizing turning response without sacrificing flex and feel at the toes.
