boots

3D Tongue

All boots come with a 3D molded shell tongue that offers a strong forward lean support and gives a proper fit to the boot. It’s perfect for directly transmitting energy from your foot to the board.


Ankle Flex Guides II

These allow the boot to have a more consistent flex, plus they avoid pressure points on the ankle when flexing forward.


Ankle Flex Notch

The Ankle Flex Notch allows a boot to flex without distortion or pinching.


Asymmetric Toe Box

A foot is thinner on the lateral toe side than on the medial side. This is why our liners come with an asymmetric toe shape – for the perfect anatomic fit.


Autofit

Entry-level liner for rookies learning the ropes, this pre-molded liner offers a super cozy fit.


Boa®

LACE UP: Push the knob in and turn for an effortless tightening and a comfortable fit. UNLACE: Just pull the knob to pop and unlock. The Dynamic Closure system is a replaceable miniature high tensile stainless steel cable that runs through the lace guides with minimal friction for perfect pressure distribution and a micro-adjusting fit.


Boa® Coiler

This is the fastest, most comfortable way to lace a BOA boot. The advantage of the Coiler is the integrated auto-tightening of the tension cable – it’s quick in and quicker out. You immediately have more comfort and control, which translates to higher performance.


Boa® Instep Grasp

A unique, centrally located cable routing system for the BOA boot that allows evenly distributed tightening to both the upper and lower sections of your boot. This powerful system greatly improves the fit over the entire foot and specifically locks in your heel due to the centrally located cable guide design over the ankle.


Cuff Cut

The Cuff Cut eliminates bulging and deformation of the shell and smooth forward flex.


Cuff cut construction


Double Power Strap

The Double Power Strap is a unique feature developed by HEAD for improved power and support. By simply tightening the strap at the top of the boot, the nature of its design means the closure force doubles around your calf providing impressive calf hold and therefore adding awesome power to your turns.


Easy-fit liner


Easylock

To tighten, just pull the inner liner lace with just one hand... and it locks itself! To release, simply pull the tongue loop forward. It doesn’t get much easier than this.


Eva Padding

This lightweight padding has been heat molded to follow the contours of the foot and ankle. It improves fit and flex while not compromising performance.

Explorer Outsole


Eyestay Bow Cut

The Eyestay Bow Cut in the ankle area compliments the Cuff Cut on the shell - preventing the liner from distorting when flexing forward. Having no bulges avoids wrinkles and pressure points.


FPG Insole

The FPG (Foot Precise Guidance) insole features a cupped heel shape and curved arch under your instep, providing you with maximum support for your entire foot. No more cramping means a more fun riding!


FPT Insole

Our FPT (Foot Power Transmission) insole is put together using 3 different densities for maximum performance: 1) A stiffer material that surrounds your heel for that locked-in heel grip feel. 2) A shock absorbing pad under the heel where you need it most to soak up heavy landings and to keep your feet relaxed on hard packed days. 3) A softer forefoot construction giving additional comfort and keeping your hard working toes warm all day long.


Heat Reflecting Insole

We applied μ-func lining mesh to our insoles: it’s proven to be 3°C warmer compared to standard lining meshes.


Heat Reflecting Toe

μ-func lining mesh is a highly technical fiber that reflects your body heat, which is why we use it in the toe areas of our liners to keep your feet warmer than ever.
