VANS AURA WOMENS SNOWBOARD BOOT S17

Flex

5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – All-Mountain flex and great balance of both support and playfulness extending it's use to any scenario.

Fit

Instep Flex Zones – Maintaining flex not only in your boot but also when your boot is strapped onto a binding describes the main problem that the Instep Flex Zone solves. It's because additional flex cannot be achieved without the act of riding in mind.

Internal Web Harness – Vans sets the standard in every boot with versatile harness options. The Internal Web Harness is where it all begins.

Liner

Response Liner – The Response Liner offers a dialed-in fit from the get-go with precision response for any terrain or condition. Add to that the knowledge of Vans footwear development and construction experience and you'll get a liner that you love.

Dri-Lex® Moisture-Wicking Lining – Perspiration is moved away from the foot surface by heat and mass transfer and into the specific Dri-Lex® fabric in the lining. The fabric then works in conjunction with other materials to redistribute moisture to eliminate that heavy, damp feeling. Dri-Lex® dries quickly, allowing fabric to retain its natural softness.

Dual-Density Heat Moldable Core

Asymmetrical X-Cage for Nailed-In Heel Hold

Exterior Overlay Support

Closed Seam Micro Suede Cuff

Comfort Flex Toe Box

Lacing System

Vans Custom Focus Boa® – The Boa® Custom Focus system consists of two reels that control three zones of closure linked by Vans' patent pending Custom Slide Guide. The result is concentrated closure around the critical instep area for superior heel hold.

Custom Slide Guide – Customizing the fit of your boots has never been easier or more convenient. The Custom Slide Guide's anatomical shape provides adjustable fit anywhere along the instep area for added comfort and heel hold.

Footbed

V2 Footbed – Vans snowboard boots are grounded by Vans' premium footbeds, developed in-house with precise attention to detail. With uncompromising effectiveness in mechanical support and dampening, the V2 footbed is the foundation for ultimate and seamless riding comfort.

Dual-Density UltraCush™ Lite Construction – With forefoot and heel impact-relief pads.

3-D Molded Anatomical Shape

Airflow Perforations

Sole

WaffleFlex™ Outsole – WaffleFlex™ cherry-picks from technologies used on the Reverse Waffle and lighter Vans outsoles. The result is unprecedented calibration between dampening and energy return. Boardfeel, traction, and weight reduction are a given.

UltraCush™ Lite Midsole Construction – For lightweight performance.

Metatarsal Flex Grooves – For increased feel and flex.

Aggressive Perimeter Lug Pattern – For increased traction and optimum snow release.

Additional Features

Heat Retention – To keep the warmth in and the cold out, all Vans boots come equipped with a thermal heat retention layer between the outsole and the liner. This layer reflects cold away from the foot and helps hold heat within the boot, keeping you nice and toasty.

• Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced
  

  Ability Level

  

  Intermediate-AdvancedWhether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.
  
• Flex Rating: Medium
  

  Flex Rating

  

  MediumThe amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
