The original and best-selling Vans Encore Boa men's snowboard boots just keep getting better. A soft, forgiving flex and quick and easily adjustable closures make you forget you're even wearing boots.

Boa® Coiler lacing system, with ankle and cable guides along entire edge of eyestays, distributes closure force evenly for a dialed-in fit that won't loosen up
Boa lacing offers on-the-fly adjustment and never comes untied; you get consistent closure without pressure points
Flexible cuffs provide comfortable and secure closure around ankles and lower legs, and enhance body-to-board responsiveness
Trifit X thermal-formable liners with asymmetric heel-holding inserts feature closed-seam fleece upper cuffs, comfort flex toe boxes and low-volume soles
Open-cell foam interior cushioning layer adds plush comfort
Molded EVA high-rebound footbeds feature integrated arch supports, molded arch supports and breathable airflow perforations; footbeds are treated to fight odors
Center tongue construction and internal web harnesses pad feet and lock them down for controlled riding
Vanslite Snowaffle soles feature a 1-piece, injected-molded EVA midsole/bottom unit with strategically placed rubber in high-wear areas for enhanced board feel and response
Inverted waffle tread pattern's stiffness gradually decreases from heels to toes, maximizing turning response without sacrificing flex and feel at the toes

Average weight specification is per pair, based on size 9.

Imported.

Comments about Vans Encore Boa Snowboard Boots - 2011/2012:

I disagree with the previous review. To give feedback on a product that is over 2 years old on a new product is unfair. I would try calling Vans and see what can be done, its obviously a defect.

I have had 3 pairs of Encores. Its a great boot for the price. I recommend for anybody.

Comments about Vans Encore Boa Snowboard Boots - 2011/2012:

These are my first pair of boots. Went to REI and they didn't have any 14s, but I was able to fit well into these Vans in a 13(they have a reputation of running a little bigger). I have used them over a two-day weekend and love them a lot. They're also my first experience with boa lacing systems, and I love it. My toes got a little damp at the end of several hours (and this may be true of all boots?), but otherwise I have no complaints and am very happy with them. They're also cheaper than some other comparable boots.

Comments about Vans Encore Boa Snowboard Boots - 2011/2012:

Boots feel great, more on the soft side for my liking. Only problem I had was the width is too wide for bindings. Toe issues with a Ride binding and the heel was too wide for a Burton binding I used later on in the day.
