From the first freestyle lap to the last all-mountain run, the Dialogue Lace SJ Snowboard Boot flexes at a medium level that builds progressively as the rider presses into the boot. A heat-moldable Response liner with compact foams and ankle padding takes the shape of the foot, so the fit feels dialed before the first chairlift ride. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"On landings and hard toeside carves, my heel stays down because the Str8jkt Pro harness pulls it back into the boot. The three-point harness tightens with the BOA Fit System, and the traditional laces handle the forefoot."
