Note:These Boots run a true 1/2 size short, so order 1/2 size larger than you normally would. The Northwave Vintage Snowboard Boot is old school styling meets new school performance. Flying down your favourite trail, freeriding in the trees, or blasting through the park, the Impact liner delivers a fit you can depend on. Wrap the liner up in a 3-layer, waterproof upper and youve got yourself a pair of boots that are supportive in all the right places but with enough flex to let you feel whats going on beneath you. The womens specific version has all of the same features as the men's version offering superior levels of comfort and performance at a very competitive price.
