DC Judge boots return for 2009 with a complete aesthetic redesign and new performance features. Upgrades include the Boa Focus lacing system, articulated cuffs and internal ankle braces. Custom-designed Boa Focus system provides enhanced closure and fit; features separate zone-specific tightening in the upper, forefoot and instep regions. With a simple twist of the knob, Boa retracts loose cable and minimizes closure turns ensuring an ultra quick, secure closure. Command liners feature internal support beams and 3-D molded J-bars for a snug fit and heel hold; directional fabric lining prevents heel slippage. Uppers feature foam-lined calf pads and cushioned heels; adjustable internal ankle braces secure liners to boots. Rip-and-stick power straps secure feet down in liners. Plush 3D tongues with seamless construction match the natural curvature of the lower legs and feet and prevent pinching and hot spots. Lightweight injected EVA midsoles provide cushioning and reduce overall boot weight; carbon fiber shanks are integrated in to the arches to increase support. Functional sole design provides good traction on the snow. |
