Whether it"s your first boot, or you simply need something that gets the job done without all the expensive bells and whistles, the DC Phase Snowboard Boot will meet your demands. Traditional lacing is reliable and simple, and Direct Power lacing provides more leverage for optimal shell closure and a custom fit. Anatomical J-bars in the heel prevent uncomfortable, fatigue-inducing heel lift, and the Red liner features EVA foam to provide a comfy fit and a fleece lining to help your toes stay toasty. Unilite replaces rubber in the outsole to shave weight and improve cushioning without sacrificing traction.
