Chad Sharpe was looking for a great boot that once you were in, felt as if you had the support of a snowboard boot/binding combo, yet was contoured around the rider's leg with an elastic overlay system. We researched several versions of a stiffer back and came up with a two-part EVA heel that overall is nearly twice as thick for a firmer fit on the six-year-running High Back. New rigid back. Adjustable toe strap for more support on lower leg. Ockham dual density footbed. A more orthodic shape. Elastic Option 2 strap gives a rider greater heel hold down. 15-degree molded brace shapes around the rider's heel for a more secure fit. Heel bumps: Crank the volume. Heel material: Stiffer and more supportive. Toe material: Softer molding around the rider's foot.
