TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Quick tightening system
The lacing is effective thanks to the laces and a blocker that is easy to manoeuvre. The outer tightening is a classic laces that are easy to use for everyone, allowing you to customise them to suit your body shape and require everyone.
Boot flex/stiffness
Supple flex is something we strive to achieve. It is comfortable to use, reduces physical fatigue and allows you to fully enjoy your day on the snow. It also has the advantage of helping the beginner to adopt the right position on the board: flexed ankles, so that the legs are not straight. You have to react quickly when you're snowboarding so it's important to bend the knees. Starting with a boot that’s too stiff is a bad thing.
Adding Flex Up
The Flex Up (8600870) enables you to make your boot more rigid on 2 out of 10 flexion points (with Flex Up, this new boot has a rigidity of approximately 5/10).
This is a plastic accessory which is inserted into the tongue of Decathlon snowboard boots produced from the 2022/23 season onwards. A pocket has been included in the design so that it's properly positioned in terms of height and laterality.
The Flex Up makes sense over time: If your boot turns more limp, give it a second life.
Heel support: level 1 liner (/3)
Foot support is essential when snowboarding to steer your board (such as foot in the boot or liner in the boot). The level 1 liner applies 4 concepts:
1. Thermoformable liner from home
2. “Comfort Heel Pad” ankle foam
3. “4-point” liner tightening
4. Velcro on the top of the liner
1. Thermoforming the liner by yourself / WARNING
THERMOFORMING IS ONLY POSSIBLE IN BUILT-IN OVENS MEASURING 56 x 60 x 56cm WITH A FAN MODE.
DO NOT TRY ON A GAS OVEN OR A SMALL TABLE TOP OVEN WITH VISIBLE HEATING ELEMENTS.
1. Thermoforming the liner independently / INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Heat your oven to 80°C in convection mode
2. Remove the inner soles from the liners, place the liners on the oven plate covered with a piece of baking paper
3. Wait 15 minutes
4. Put the socks back on, put them on with a pair of ski-snowboard socks and tighten them (not too much)
5. Put the boots on and tighten fully to 5. Wait for 15 minutes when static.
This operation can be repeated if necessary.
ONLY IN A BUILT-IN 56 x 60 x 56cm OVEN
2. "Heel Pad Comfort" ankle foam
The ankle bone padding fills the hollow under and behind the ankle to hold the heel firmly in place.
The level 1 liner has relatively soft, mono-material, 10 mm-thick ankle foam pads.
The aim is to provide the heel-foot support needed to match the level of the boot. In fact, the faster you go, the more energy is deployed and the more support you need for your foot.
Comfort Foam meets this objective by providing maximum comfort for all.
3. "4-point" liner tightening
4-point tightening for good foot support. It holds the foot in place around the ankle
4. Velcro strip on top of liner
The top of the liner has velcro strips, enabling you to hold the tongue of the liner in place with the sides, no matter how your foot is moving.
Insole
The insole of this boot is flat. It offers comfort and thermal insulation.
If you really feel the need for added support for your foot in the liner, you have two options:
- get a sole pre-formed at the arch and heel area
- get a sole that can be thermoformed to suit your foot. This is the most effective solution.
Sole: grip, traction, cushioning and thermal insulation
Our Ultralight sole is 100% EVA foam.
EVA is a very light material with 80% air. This formulation is designed to resist abrasion while keeping its damping properties. It is naturally very insulating and protects against the cold rising from the ground.
We designed in large studs to offer you very good grip. Sufficiently far apart from each other, they help get rid of the snow.
How can I be sure it's the right size?
1. Put the boot on
2. Tighten the boot
3. Stand upright
4. Your big toes should just touch the tip of the boot without causing unpleasant pressure
5. Bend your legs forward, your big toes move backwards and no longer touch the end of the boot.
