Vans Infuse BOA Men's Snowboard Boots 2021

As the Flagship boot in the range, the Infuse sets the bar for the whole Vans collection. Aimed at experienced riders who are looking for a feature-packed high-performance boot, it delivers groundbreaking performance across the whole mountain. Built around a state of the art upper that features asymmetric flex zones and Flex Control System, the Infuse utilises Vans Hybrid Boa closure system. This advanced closure system combines the ultimate custom lacing options of a traditional lace closure with the unrivalled heel-lock of a side-mounted Boa and the Custom Slide-Guide. This innovative design allows you to dial in the perfect flex and stiffness, ensuring that no matter what or where you ride, you’ve got a boot that’s going to deliver the ultimate performance. However, the Infuse isn’t just about performance. Thanks to the fully heat mouldable V3 Ultracush Liner, V3 Popcush footbed and innovative design, it’s also one of the most comfortable boots you can strap your feet into.Traditional Lace ClosureVans Hybrid BoaSlide GuideAsymmetrical Flex ZonesV3 Ultracush with TNF Flashdry LinerV3 Popcush FootbedV3 UltimateWaffle OutsoleVans Flex Control SystemWaterproof Breathable ValvesPowercuff StrapV3 HarnessIn Step Flex ZonePleasurecuffHeat Retention 360Stiffness Rating: 6/10Fit Profile: A well balanced overall fit that’s works with most foot shapes.
