WED'ZE Boogey 300 -Fast Lock Men's All Mountain Snowboard Boots - Black

The introduction of the soft flex was a deliberate decision. It provides comfort during use, reduces physical fatigue and allows you to fully enjoy your day in the snow.

It also gives you a huge advantage when you're starting, helping you find the right position on your board, i.e. ankles bent, so that your legs aren't stiff.
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 will hinder your progress.

Heel support is an essential part of snowboarding. For good board management, the foot must be well supported by the liner, AND the liner must be well supported in the boot.
For the Boogey 300, the LEVEL 1 liner uses 4 different technologies:
_ COMFORT FOAM ankle foam
_ 3-POINT liner fastening
_ HOOK & LOOP LINK between boot and liner
_DOUBLE FOAM = Double layer of foam at the tongue on the instep (support and comfort).

The ankle foam padding fills the hollow below and behind the ankle in order to secure the heel.
LEVEL 1 boots have soft foam that's 10 mm thick made from a single, softer material.
The goal is to provide support for the heel and food to match the boot level. The faster you go, the more energy comes into play, the more support your foot needs.
COMFORT FOAM achieves this goal, as well as providing top-level comfort for all.

3-point fastening (instead of 4-point) offers 2 big advantages:
_ SUPPORT: it holds the ankle in position very well because there is less friction with the laces and a significant proportion of the energy deployed is transmitted to the 3rd and final fastening point = ankle for maximum support.

_ WARMTH: not having a 4th attachment point at the instep lets the blood flow to the toes. And it's blood circulation that keeps your toes warm.

We've added rip-tabs between the liner and boot, at the rear.
The goal is to minimise any slippage of the liner inside the boot, so it's easier to steer the board.

The 3-GRIPS sole provides 3 different types of grip
1. front and rear zones for uphill/downhill snowboarding
2. lateral zones for grip when banking
3. central zone for grip on slippery terrain: frozen board or ground
Made of rubber with 3.5 mm studs. It also has an inner (not visible) 5 mm EVA foam midsole (80% air) for excellent thermal insulation, as well as cushioning.

We have several ways to keep your feet warm:
_ The sole features an insulating layer, 5 mm thick EVA (80% air) which insulates from the cold ground_ the sockliner is another 5 mm layer of EVA + a polyester material
_ Tightening the boot with 3 tightening elements (rather than 4) ensures a blood supply for your toes. And it's the blood flow that keeps your toes warm
_ we've added quilting around the toes
