Spark Boa Snowboard Boot - Boys'

The Ride Spark Boa Snowboard Boot sports an easy-to-use Boa lacing system and a comfy, soft flex that's friendly enough for first-timers but supportive enough for serious progression.

The big story here is the Boa System. The Boa is a reel-type closure system that allows your kid to easily get the boot as tight as he wants it and release it just as easily, all with gloves on. By making the Spark Boa a one-piece, no-liner system, the boot is lighter, less complicated, and more comfortable than adult boots.

Shock absorbing duties are taken care of by Ride's medium-density EVA foam insole, and the sole is Ride's Track, a single-compound rubber sole that provides grip and durability while maintaining light weight. To round out the Spark Boa, Ride hooked it up with a natural-feeling cuff and a padded tongue to eliminate shin-bang forever.
