Zonal BOA Fit System:

Dial activated fit system that allows for a precise closure in two zones.

BOA Tongue Tied:

This RIDE specific technology offers a secure fit in the ankle zone and eliminates the need for a traditional internal harness. The tongue integrated BOA® guides provides total tongue closure and next level heel hold without the potential pressure points. Depending on the model, Tongue Tied™ is paired with the traditional lace, BOA Zonal or BOA Coiler Fit System.

Tongue Tied Hybrid Harness:

This Tongue Tied system integrates an additional upper harness with the inside liner pull for an ultra-secure fit.

TX3 Lacing:

A non-stretch textile soft lace engineered to perform as strong as cable.

The Closer Lacing:

Offers two times the power to close your boot securely. The Closer Lace Guide is centered over the forefoot to drive lace power down low to even the lace tension throughout the entire boot. Accompanied by BOA Fit System, the even-tightening of The Closer Lace Guide takes the fit system to the next level and provides an incredibly Precise fit.

Michelin Traverse Outsole:

This sole features a unique criss-cross external TPU shank for improved stability. The durable WIC and OC rubber compounds along with Michelin designed tread patterns provide optimal traction on snow and ice. The +SLIME midsole offers responsive cushioning while the underfoot geometric recess pattern provides improved board feel.

Michelin Hybrid Rubber:

Proprietary MICHELIN rubber compound that utilizes up to 30% reground rubber to reduce the amount of virgin rubber going into the outsole and reduce our “footprint” on the environment. Hybrid rubber is used throughout all MICHELIN soles.

ECO +Slime Midsole:

RIDE’s eco proprietary foam blend improves comfort and response underfoot.

ECO +Slime Impacto Insole:

Proprietary blend of PU and Sugarcane EVA foam to create a comfortable, durable, hi-rebound alternative to using petroleum based EVA. Used in 50% blend of the EVA portion of the high rebound insole.

Internal J Bars:

Superior ankle and heel hold with added support.

External J Bars:

Additional ankle and heel hold.

Cored Ankle Pockets:

Anatomically correct fit for ultimate heel hold.

Intuition Dream Liner:

Multi-density foam surrounded in a supportive skeletal structure for maximum rebound and dreamy performance.

Slip Grip Liner Closure:

Proprietary ride liner technology which utilizes unidirectional hook to give you optimal liner closure and allow your liner to tighten with the shell of your boot.

Lace Lock:

Just like it sounds, a way to lock your lace in place

Heat Reflective Foil:

Redirects heat underneath the foot and in the toe to help keep in the toasty warmth while charging up last chair.

Black Gold Liner Mesh:

This bamboo charcoal infused material naturally mitigates odors and moisture. Other benefits include improved temperature regulation and circulatory function.

Wrap Liner:

Builds additional stability and life into the liner. Creates seamless comfort for the inside of your boot.

In2Grated Construction:

In2grated Construction creates the lightest weight, shortest length performance boots on the market, hands down. The liner is factory molded inside the shell to create the most efficient "net fit", leading to less pack out for better overall comfort.

Articulated Cuff:

Check it out, at the ankle of the boot right there. See how the top and bottom are a little different? How the top is able to slide over the bottom? That's articulation for you, better fit, better flex, no weird flex points. Nice and smooth, just like it should be.

3D FORMED TONGUE:

Anatomically shaped 3D tongue gives lasting fit and durability.

Removable Liner:

This is the simplest piece of tech that has ever existed. The liner comes out of the boot. Why would you want that? Well pop those liners out after a wet or sweaty day to let those baby's breathe! Dry 'em out and put on fresh boots the next day.

Floating Tongue:

RIDE’s unique floating tongue technology combined with tongue tied lacing adds additional adjustability to dial in comfort over foot while reducing pressure points.

C.A.T. (Calf Adjustment Technology):

Designed specifically to increase comfort and ensure a perfect fit. This Velcro adjustment on the boot cuff allows for a one-of-a-kind custom fit in the calf zone. Loosen or tighten up the calf of the boot for a truly custom fit.

1:1 Lasting:

RIDE offers 1:1 lasting ensuring a seamless liner to shell integration for all whole and half sizes. Liner lasts anatomically shaped to your foot offers premium out of box liner comfort while shell last shaping precisely merges together for a uniform supportive fit.

Liner lasts anatomically shaped to your foot offers premium out of box liner comfort while shell last shaping precisely merges together for a uniform supportive fit.

HDR Premium Synthetics:

RIDE’s Premium PU material utilizes a proprietary resin that substantially improves durability and wear resistance. Used in high abrasion zones where bindings and board edges create focused wear, RIDE’s Premium PU has unmatched performance.

Pebax Heel & Toe Cap:

PEBAX RNEW material is derived from castor bean renewable crop that does not compete with food source and does not cause deforestation. This material has improved low temperature performance, higher energy return, and is lighter weight than standard TPU materials. PEBAX RNEW material has ~64-77% bio content depending on material hardness.

Need we say more? Recycled packaging = better packaging. Even certified by FSC(R).
