A mid-flex, team-favorite snowboard boot built for spicy all-mountain performance. From the bottom up, the Salsa is built on a foundation of grippy Vibram rubber, with a vibration-dampening midsole. On the lower, an injected toe and heel make the Salsa both lightweight and durable. They are connected with an articulating cuff, minimizing distortion when you flex into the riding position. A zonal BOA V5 closure allows you to fine-tune the fit around the forefoot and calf independently, and all of this wraps a super comfortable, multi-density heat-moldable liner that fits so well, you’ll be that guy at the late-night pizza spot.

EXTRAS
Pressure Relief Tongue - Through strategic shaping, this tongue eliminates painful pressure points where the binding straps tighten across your ankle. It allows for a tight, secure fit without cutting off your circulation.
Articulated Cuff – Articulation at the 45° of the boot allows the upper and lower portions of the boot to react independently, reducing shell distortion when flexing forward into the tongue.
Injected Spine - A durable, molded reinforcement along the back of the boot that maintains its shape and support season after season. It directly channels your energy into the binding for faster, effortless turns, and helps to extend the life of the boot.
Injected ToeCap - A ruggedly molded front cap that protects your toes from hard impacts and prevents the boot from wearing down over time. It creates a seamless, low-profile fit that locks perfectly into your binding straps, and holds up incredibly well in the bootpack.
Thermal Shield - A heat-reflective foil membrane tucked under the liner that traps your natural body heat while blocking out the freezing cold from the snow below. It helps your toes stay warm on the coldest winter days.
