These toebox designs eliminate extra layers and seams around the toe of the boot to create a durable and streamlined design with less bulk and a better FlowFit on your foot, and a better FlowFit in your bindings.

3D Molded Tongue

The asymmetrical tongue is 3D molded and curved towards the medial side,
following the naturally raised ridgeline of your forefoot to alleviate pressure
points and give a more balanced feel of comfort and support. An anatomically
correct and asymmetrical tongue performs better than a standard straight one.
