Sanwa Sports Webstore Newly released for the 2022 season, the Krypton 130T.I.ID is perfect for the current FREERIDE scene. Dalbello's iconic and distinctive boot is undoubtedly the Krypton! The IL MORO, a derivative of the Krypton and used by the legendary Tanner Hall, and the LUPO series, which was one of the first to support tech systems, are just some of the highlights of Dalbello's reputation in freeskiing. The 130T.I.ID eliminates the walk mode as it's specialized for skiing. However, it does support tech for walking on approaches! Its simplicity and ski-first concept are sure to capture the hearts of freeriders worldwide!

Recommendation:
Tyrol The opening is made of a soft material, so it fits well even in relatively low temperatures, and it's great that you can wear it in a tent or snow cave. The range of motion in walk mode is just enough, and the fact that it's not too large gives you peace of mind when skiing. It's light yet rigid enough to provide just the right amount of support, from ice runs to powder.

Recommendation:
D-RIDE is lightweight and designed to allow active ankle movement for ski control. It features a thermo inner, but it fits very well even in the initial state. I highly recommend the Mindbender series in general. I wear the women's model Mindbender.

Recommendation:
Mountain shop Niseko 343 BC, a freeride model. Lightweight yet strong polyurethane material is used from the sole to the heel, and the combination of different hardness levels makes it easy to put on and take off. It's comfortable to wear, and a model that can be enjoyed stress-free from backcountry skiing to the slopes. While there have been no changes since last year, this is a series that is highly refined and enjoys high customer satisfaction.

Recommendation:
the Dencraft K2 BOOTS, but it will be sufficient for Japanese men under 170cm tall. The flex is 125, which may seem a little soft, but with the front spoiler attached, the rigidity has increased to about 130. And it's so light!

The spine's transmission characteristics make the most difficult part of skiing, turning around a valley, automatic. These boots don't have the sticky feel of other manufacturers, so you might feel a bit uncomfortable the first time you put them on, but you'll soon get used to it and become addicted to the light and nimble feel

Recommendation:
Shugakuso Hokkaido University Store. Lightweight and easy to put on, the range of movement in walk mode is wide and smooth. The inner lining is sturdy and fits well.

Recommendation:
Paddle Club Nagoya Racing Boots incorporates Dual Core Technology, which has been in use for several years, into their dual-purpose boots. This gives the boots excellent grip when skiing, and also provides excellent information transmission from the snow surface, which is essential when operating the skis. The newly designed hike mode switch for the XT3 is also very smooth and trouble-free, and the walking range is more than sufficient. The Grip Walk sole makes these boots easy to walk in, not just on snow hikes, but also in parking lots.

Recommendation:
Paddle Club NagoyaThese REXXAM boots are popular for basic skiing and mogul skiing, but their tenacity also makes them fun for freeriding. Furthermore, thanks to the unique AutoFit system, the width of the boots automatically changes, adjusting to fit your foot as you ski. This makes them a great choice for any skiing situation, not just basic and mogul skiing.

Owner Haruo Morishita

Recommendation:
NATURAL Not only does it offer great freedom of movement, it's a versatile boot that can handle everything from park runs to powder runs. Especially switch runs! It's incredibly stable, easy to practice in, and great for just hopping on a switch.
The wrap structure of the inner boot also keeps you warm even in the coldest powder. Another
that if you heat-mold a new pair, they'll fit so well you're ready to hit the slopes right away.
They also fit well with the wide, high-arched feet of Japanese people, and since no one has legs as wide as mine, if they fit me, they'll fit everyone!

Owner Mikiya Tanno

Recommendation:
TRUNKBASE tech bindings and feature walk mode for backcountry skiing, but they are also sturdy enough to withstand hard use. They're also great for big jumps in the park. They're the perfect boots for the jack-of-all-trades skier.

Recommendation: Proshop JOCS GEN! A multi-purpose boot with flex, stickiness, and rebound that can be used in any situation.

SKI Advisor Kiyuji Okayama

Recommendation: AlpenOutdoors Flagship Store Kashiwa. Mountain boots tend to have a wide, roomy last, but the COCHISE series offers excellent fit and torsional rigidity. They grip the snow firmly even at high speeds, and are comparable in quality to alpine boots. The range of motion in walk mode is also excellent, allowing for stress-free use even when hiking.

Store manager Ikutaka Yamauchi

Recommendation:
Peak Performance Sapporo Flex, the comfort is comparable to regular alpine boots. It's perfect for me, who spends the same amount of time on the slopes and backcountry. I've been wearing them for about five years, with minor changes.

Recommendation:
from SKI SHOP VAIL , but judging from sales in our store and feedback from customers who have worn them, the HAWX series is the most highly rated. For those with wider feet, choose "PRIME", and for those with slightly narrower feet, choose "ULTRA". The list price is quite high, but they are still selling very well. At this point, the level of perfection is very high, so I think it is great for those who are particular about the hold around the ankles and who want to ski firmly.

OFF-1 (Off One) - Features an all-around flex of 100, a 3-piece construction that allows for smooth knee bending and straightening, a 45° buckle that securely holds the heel, simultaneous heat molding of the outer shell and inner boot for a perfect fit from the start, and a GRIP WALK sole that makes walking stable and easy. Packed with all these features, it's great value at just 46,000 yen! I highly recommend these boots to intermediate to advanced skiers who are considering switching to freestyle or all-mountain skis.

Owner

Recommendation:
Dencraft FT's "DROP KICK PRO" and "CLASSIC PRO" are synonymous with freestyle boots, but the "DESCENDANT" is a different kind of comfort boot. With a 102mm last width, it's a boot suited to Japanese skiers. Easy to put on and take off, it's the perfect boot for families with dads and moms, as well as senior skiers.

ski & snowboard shop Narrows These revolutionary boots allow you to adjust the shell size as your child grows. The sturdy inner lining and two buckles ensure a perfect fit.
