For those of us that love heading to the park before and after hitting everything else on the mountain, the ID Lara Pro Flex Snowboard Boot offers a classic freestyle feel with new tech to offer premier comfort. A medium flex on the softer side allows us to tweak our grabs and press on rails while offering a smooth flex pattern for a surfy feel in deeper snow. The L2 lacing system contains two clasps with oversized handles that independently tighten two different zones for a secure fit that locks the heel in place. The Stage 3 liner is fully heat-moldable for a custom fit, and its Pro Flex system eliminates bulging for increased support. And to help us handle repeatedly rough landings, Deeluxe added a Slytech heel to their Skate Flex sole to lessen impacts on our legs and increase riding comfort.
