Additional material and technology information

Shell materials and design Method Shell : The 3 Piece Method Shell adds much needed depth to the FL3X line. Designed for those with a wider foot, the Method shell incorporates a higher volume fit and a 102mm last. Ribbed Tongue : 100% ribbed tongue enables smoother, more natural linear flex from your shin to your toe. The tongue bends like a flexible straw, never bottoming out while providing smooth rebound. No more shin bang! Moldable : Utilizing the QuickFit System, all FL3X boots, shells included, can be molded to the exact needs of your foot. Not all feet are the same, and the FL3X line allows for a personalized, 1-to-1 fit experience. Shock Absorber Boot Board : Soft rubber in the sole of the shell absorbs vibrations, impact, and shock for a smooth ride. 45 Degree Heel Lock : Placing the middle buckle at an optimal 45 degree angle creates a solid lock for the heel to stay put when pressuring the tips and tails of the skis.

Liner material and design Intuition Pro Wrap Liner : Slip into the Intuition Pro Wrap, and experience unmatched ankle retention and pressure-free performance. Crafted out of Intuition foam, the Intuition Pro Wrap offers the added comfort and performance your boot is missing. J-Bar : An additional J-shaped piece of foam is inserted internally on both sides of the ankle area to dramatically increase ankle hold and keep your feet perfectly in place for precise control.

GripWalk ISO 23223 Outsoles The GripWalk outsole system has been designed to help make your life easier and safer when walking with your ski boots on, without compromising the stability and confidence of the boot-binding connection while you ski. The slight rocker brings the walking movement closer to the natural one, while the ribbed, anti-slip material makes sure you stay on your feet at all times. The outsole piece is removable and interchangeable and it is designed to work with GripWalk binding systems for better grip and comfort.
