Men's Dual-Dial BOA®, Mid-Soft, versatile boots
Description
A premium version of our mid-soft team favorite, the Rift APX offers a relaxed flex that's ideal for tweaking grabs and expressing your own riding style. Dual-Dial BOA® laces give you complete control over the fit, while SuperFoam cushioning and a Silver heat-moldable liner ensure total comfort from day one. The APX looks are on point, with groundbreaking seamless panels made from KPU and an Armor-Tech toe to keep your feet dry in even the wettest slush.
The Rift APX's upgraded outsole features SuperFoam cushioning, a proprietary material that offers insane dampening and rebound. Absorb the heaviest landings in the park and beyond.
Our Transition Zone tech seamlessly connects the sole to the Exo Spine, accelerating response and preventing damage to the back of the boot when entering or exiting the binding.
The Rift APX is even more weatherproof than the regular Rift, thanks to a seamless KPU lower section and a durable Armor-Tech toe borrowed from our flagship models.
- KPU. A unique injected polyurethane that's 100% waterproof, allowing us to create seamless uppers with high abrasion resistance and consistent flex.
- Articulating Cuff. The upper shell overlaps the lower part and moves independently. This creates a super smooth riding feel and eliminates any pressure points when the boot is flexed.
- Rubber Backstay. A durable section at the back of the boot that protects it from wear. Our unique Transition Zone means the rubber is bonded smoothly to the outsole with no ridges, eliminating any snags when you enter or exit your bindings.
- OC-KUSH. Shock-absorbing dynamic gel pads are inserted into the outsole around the heel area. This extra cushioning helps you soak up heavy landings and reduces fatigue from bumpy snow. It also makes your boots super comfy to walk around in.
- ASYM 3F. A unique asymmetric boot design co-developed with BOA® that generates optimal support and flex. The asym tongue features lace guides positioned on the flatter forefoot areas for more even closure and less point-loaded pressure. Increased medial arch support reduces foot fatigue and cramps.
- 3D Molded Toe Box. Our 3D Toebox eliminates extra layers and seams around the forefoot, improving water resistance and durablility. The streamlined design also makes it easier to slide your boot in and out of the binding.
- 3D Molded Tongue. Our asymmetric 3D Molded Tongue is curved more sharply towards the medial side to match the natural ridgeline of your forefoot. This alleviates pressure points and provides a more balanced feeling of comfort and support versus a standard straight tongue.
- ArmorTech. This bombproof TPU strip wraps around the front of the boot to shield it from abrasion and protect your toes when you're kicking in steps. It also prevents the boot from packing out too much, prolonging its life.
