Mens Encore Snowboard Boot
![]() |
The skate-inspired styling of Vans Encore snowboarding boot has always been a popular choice but this season freestylers and freeriders can warm up to a new Trifit liner and comfortable 3D molded tongue. One of the best features on the Encore--the dialed-in BOA closure system--remains exactly the same. The BOA closure allows for simple and easy entries and exits while the rotating dial tweaks your fit with almost near-infinite settings. The warm and newly updated Trifit liner features an open cell interior for cushion and a seam brushed fleece upper cuff. Vans added heel-holding Achilles pad to help keep you comfortably in place throughout your ride down the mountain or halfpipe. This version of the Encore features the Vans Pro-Flex Snowaffle sole a progressive-flex inverted waffle tread that borrows the look of the classic Vans waffle sole without giving winter traction performance the slip. Because the boot sole decreases in stiffness as you move from heel to toe you enjoy better turning response without sacrificing the flex and feel at your toes. The low-profile die-cut EVA midsole gives you great cushioning with metatarsal and heel impact pads but doesnt sacrifice the skate look just remember that this boot doesnt have the air sole--thats something aggressive riders want after taking massive air. The middle-of-the-pipe flex rating makes the Encore a great choice for freeriders and freestyle enthusiasts who want dont want too much flex or rock-solid stiffness.
