Top of foot (instep): Snug on the top of the foot but no pressure points there.Īround Ankles: Around ankles was pretty good but the way they gripped around my Achilles wasn't super comfortable.Īlso to note, that the boot feels noticeably taller than the average boot. It would be close to needing to go 1/2 size up. When riding, after heat molding, they actually felt tighter on the toes and all toes were touching the end, with big toe being the most cramped.įelt like I could have re-heat molded with a toe cap or gone 1/2 size up. True to Size?: When first tried on, my toes were not quite touching the ends but pretty close. While riding, after heat molding, the sides of the boots were touching both medially and laterally, creating mild pressure points but nothing too bad and eased with time. A little pressure right in the corner of the big toe after wearing for a few minutes. Width: When trying on for the first time, a reasonable amount of room in the toe box width-wise. They do soften up pretty quickly, but I'd say more like 6 or even more when initially getting them on. The initial flex of this boot is quite stiff, particularly given its flex rating. Heaviest I've weighed were 2lbs 10oz (1200g) and lightest were 1lb 10oz ( 740g). * Average of a sample of women's boots I've weighed was 1lbs 15oz (880g). Rounding out this boot, the Performance Rubber outsole uses Energy Foam to smooth out the ride when you're faced with descending two thousand feet of bumped-up snow at the end of a powder day.Difference between Mondo & Outersole: 3.2cm Inside the boot, the heat-moldable Intuition Foam not only improves the boot's fit by customizing it to your individual foot shape, but also eliminates painful pressure points. Its articulated cuff gives it a more freestyle-friendly flex when you're tweaking out grabs and pressing through the park. Either way, the tightness is customizable with the simple turn of a dial for effortless on-the-fly adjustments.īased off the same award-winning design as the Lashed Boot, the Binary Boa features a versatile mid-level flex that's home anywhere on the mountain, whether that's early-morning tree runs or slushy afternoon park laps. Crank both super tight for the utmost in response and stiffness or leave them a bit looser for extra freestyle mobility. This Boa system uses two separate dials to fine-tune the fit over the upper and lower zones independently. Upgraded with a dual Boa closure, the Binary Boa dials in your ideal fit and feel within mere seconds, leaving your friends to dash for first tracks while you load onto first chair with an ear-to-ear grin.
