Vans infuse5/24/2023 ![]() Once you get to the bottom of the run you can customize the boots again and again. Then when it comes to going downhill, for someone wanting a soft surfy feel simply unlatch the BOA and maybe even loosen up the powerstrap, each of these moves can be done in under a couple of seconds. I prefer a stiff boot for touring on the way uphill, the Infuse uses BOA and a powerstrap which makes this easy to accomplish. Each piece is customized to work together or independently depending on your needs. And honestly the same can be said for most parts of this boot. What’s rad about this closure system is you can really notice the impacts immediately once tightened. ![]() Last and surely not least comes the powerstrap.

Simply push the BOA button against the boot and crank away. I like to start with the BOA as it brings the boot and everything inside securely into place. Once the liners are dialed in it’s time to look to the outside of the Vans Infuse Snowboard Boots Now that your feet are inside the boot what sort of conditions is the day going to throw your way? For someone wanting total support, you can start by tightening the Infuse liners with a familiar pull strap. Without sounding like a kook, it’s almost like the way a ski boot holds your foot into place, it’s not going anywhere. This boot is on the stiffer side so you really need to pull on the tongue and back loop to slide your foot inside. Between the liners and the UltraCush footbeds, you get a feeling of support in the heel that doesn’t exist in other snowboard boots. Once you put your foot inside the Vans Infuse it almost feels like’s being cradled, and it is. When you first step into the boot it may feel stiffer than other boots you have used in the past. It will be hard if not impossible to find a more versatile and responsive snowboard boot currently on the market. New for this season is the Vans Infuse Snowboard Boots signature colorway featuring rich full-grain leather, heat-moldable liners, UltraCush footbeds, and Vans revolutionary Flex Control.
