Salomon Men's F20 Snowboard Boot

If sized properly, a Fusion boot creates the sensation of being much closer to the board in terms of feel than any similar snowboard boot. That's because Salomon designed their F20 boot with a liner that is fully integrated with the upper. It's a sleek, freestyle-oriented progressive flex for advanced riders who insist on feeling as much of the mountain beneath their feet as possible. The F20 is the most affordable in the Fusion F series, although it offers an older LCG fusion liner that doesn't have the Autofit memory foam and air pockets found in the liner of the F24 and F22 models. The Powerlace pro soft lacing system up top is a customizable, dual zone lace system that has user-friendly blocking system that simplifies lace adjustments faster than the normal Powerlace Pro. Polyurethane inserts inside the integrated active tongue help you customize the overall boot flex without compromising support. Essentially the more you tighten the Powerlace, the closer the fit you'll feel along the active tongue. At the top of the cuff you'll find an Easy-in gliding patch that makes it easier to slip your heel into the boot. The F20 features Salomon's proven Smart Fusion sole, a popular choice for guys who want more feel in the toe area. The sole features EVA and rubber outsole components with ADIPRENE compound to help absorb landing shocks. If you like to ride with plenty of feeling but you can't afford the big-budget jumps to the F24 and F22 models, the F20 is the Fusion that will keep you in step with the rest of the sleek and progressive crowd.

Ultra Light and Comfortable
These boots arrived very quickly!! They are extremely light and the easy lacing system Salomon uses is a breeze. They are extremely comfortable as well. However, they seem to dry a little slow...
