These boots feature the BOA dial closure system, allowing for easy tightening and release even while wearing gloves. The BOA system provides a uniform tightening for a high level of fit, ensuring comfort even after long hours of wear. The flex is soft, making them easy to handle for beginners and suitable for ground tricks and free runs. The inner boot uses a thermo-moldable liner, which is characterized by its ability to conform to the foot. I purchased these several years ago and used them only a handful of times that year, and they have been stored at home since then. These are used items, so please understand this before purchasing. Thank you.
