The Apex Crestone VS stands out with its innovative open chassis construction, featuring a rigid outer skeleton and a separate walkable boot that can be customized to each skier's preferences. Apex ski boots deliver exceptional performance while adding unexpected comfort and convenience, and this latest version introduces the all-new Vault system, making them lighter and more responsive than ever before. The multi-density heat-mouldable foam liner ensures a personalised fit, and the dual Boa closure systems provide a secure wrap and even pressure. Designed with high-traction outsoles, these boots ensure both safety and comfort, effectively eliminating the slippery struggles of traditional solid plastic boots of old. The Crestone provides standout foothold and practicality in a single package that is perfectly suited for intermediate skiers seeking convenience and who are frustrated with classic ski boot designs.
Ability Level
Overview
Fit
Surprisingly snug, provides firm heel and ankle hold, a medium width on the forefoot and the BOA + rachet straps give flexibility for height over the instep.
Shell
Open Chassis. New Nanolite Carbon chassis for lightweight, high-modulus support. This is a totally unique design that, unlike traditional full shell plastic boots, is just a frame. In addition to the comfort this can provide, it also offers a customisable flex that is independent of fit, along with superior stability and precise edge control, plus an adjustable flex-arm with four forward lean positions. The lateral stiffness of the chassis and cuff provide a direct connection to your skis, providing powerful energy transmission and precise control.
Liner
Heat moldable PE, Latex foams with dual density feece covered insole
Key Features
Walkable Boot
Snowboard boots have always featured a soft exterior and comfort that no ski boot could offer. Snowboarders could perform all day on the mountain, and then walk around at the end of the day in the same boots and never worry about loosening them up. The Apex Walkable Support Boot provides the comfort and warmth of a snowboard boot that you can ski in all day long. Separable from the Open Chassis, the Walkable Boot provides a full-traction outsole for getting to and from the mountain in comfort and safety and 360-degree support without pressure points. Locks into the Chassis for a solid connection to your skis.
Open Heel Design
Positions the walking boot back into the ultra-secure Vault System providing immediate responsiveness and a shorter boot sole length.
Integrated Heel Cup & Bridge
Reduced weight and streamlined structure of the chassis creating The Vault.
Fiber Reinforced Flex Arm
Adjusts forward lean and flex range.
Articulating Swing Straps
Pivot out of the way for super easy entry into the chassis.
Dual Zone Boa Closure
The Dual Boa Zones provide independent and precise fit adjustments for the lower leg and midfoot sections, allowing for a dialled-in and comfortable fit that enhances foothold, control, and performance on the slopes.
