Apex HP-Crestone Men's Ski Boots 2021

Apex ski boots deliver all the performance you demand but their unique design adds comfort and convenience you wouldn't expect. The obvious thing with the HP Crestone is that it doesn't use a full plastic shell. The open chassis construction has a rigid outer skeleton that powers and drives the skis, with a separate walkable boot that sits inside this frame. It uses three clips to secure the boot and can be tuned to each skier via an adjustable forward lean, three position flex and dual cuff alignment. The liner uses a multi-density heat mouldable foam that can be shaped to better fit the skier's foot for the best comfort and precision. Simple to use, but effective, dual Boa closure systems ensure good wrap and an even pressure. The walkable boot has high-traction outsoles and will help you get around resort safely and comfortably. No more slipping and sliding in rigid plastic boots with no grip.

Overview

Fit
Surprisingly snug, provides firm heel and ankle hold, a medium width on the forefoot and the BOA + rachet straps give flexibilty for height over the instep.

Shell
Open Chassis. Unique design that offers customisable flex that is independent of fit, along with superior stability and precise edge control. Nanofibre-reinforced for lightweight, high-modulus support. The lateral stiffness of the chassis and cuff provide a direct connection to your skis, powerful energy transmission and precise control.

Liner
Custom Fit, mouldable. A high-quality liner is critical to any ski boot. The Apex Custom-Fit liner can be heat moulded and fitted to meet your individual needs. Combined with the Walkable Boot, the Apex boot liner provides added warmth and comfort to enhance your ski experience. Uses an expanded neoprene toe-box for added comfort.

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 and uses a

Boa Fit Closure
Apex design incorporates the game-changing Boa reel and stainless steel cable lacing system to provide precise control by locking your foot firmly into the heel pocket. This is a powerful, lightweight closure system with micro-adjustability to create a glove-like fit where adjustments can be made quickly on the fly.
