Fastening system

*Fast lock: A quick and easy adjustment system. Pull, lock and it's done thanks to thin laces and a quick tightening system

*Boa: A very powerful system with cable and wheel

*Boa coiler: A very quick and powerful system with cable and wheel with winder

*Zone lock: separate fastening: Fastening by individual zone for improved power and precision

*Cable Lock 2Z: separate fastening: A very powerful system with cable and wheel + tibia rip-tab

 

Separate fastening:

Some boots have separate fastening, ie the upper part and the lower part of the boot can be tightened separately for greater precision:

-tightening the bottom more offers greater support, tightening less offers greater comfort

-tightening the upper part more provides more rigidity to the boot (= increases the flex)
