A mid-flexing design for the rider looking to load into a one-bedroom apartment with four friends and ride 180 days this season...

• ConFormist.1 Lace-Up Liner - stitched construction, tri-zone lining, laminated tongue, low-friction lacing
• TriZone Lining - ComfortFoam, fleeces and directional face fabrics are used for different areas of the foot to deliver comfort and control
• Molded, multi-density heel pocket - j-shaped structures are placed on both sides of the ankle; outer layer is soft for comfort and self-customizing, while the inner layer provides structure to hold your heel in place
• GripPatch - back of boot heel integrates with highback padding in the heel cup to lock the boot down for heel hold on toeside turns
• Calf CutOut - shell is sculpted down at the back top edge to let the liner flex outward, eliminating calf bite, and the fit self-customizes to the size of the rider's calf
• Lockable zonal lacing with softcore laces - custom lockable and non-locking speed hooks let you control where you want the fit loose, and where you want the fit tight, eliminating blisters from lacing up 100 days a year

Progressive Flex:

• 3D-molded EVA tongue - compound curve focuses support in the crux of the ankle region but leaves top edge supple, allowing an initial feeling of flex followed by a quick ramp up in the levels of support
• Laminated Liner Tongue - built separately from the liner body, different material densities are laminated and three-dimensionally shaped to the curve of the foot, allowing the tongue to nest into t
