Encore Pro Specification:

Boa Custom Focus Closure

Custom Focus features a high-power H4 Coiler reel and mid-power remote wheel to independently the upper and lower closure zones, linked by Vans’s exclusive Custom Slide Guide. This increases closure around the instep area for focussed heel hold.

Slide Guide

This technology enables adjustable flex control and powerful heel hold throughout the instep area using the Slide Guide. Slide it to where you need the extra tension, and then dial it in.

V2 UltraCush™ with Smartwool Liner

The heat mouldable Ultracush V2 liner combines dual-density foam, neoprene toe box and UltraCush interior cushioning layer to deliver a fully custom mouldable high-quality fit. The addition of SmartWool Merino wool liner and closed seam microsuede cuff and tongue elevate the liner fit and comfort to a new level.

X-Cage

This heel lock component offers an asymmetrical, anatomical shape that fills the space around your ankle bones with a soft durometer EVA foam. Available on the V2 UltraCush Smartwool and V3 UltraCush FlashDry liners, the X-Cage is designed to keep your foot securely in the heel pocket and in constant contact with your snowboard.

Instep Flex Zone

The Instep Flex Zone maintains natural ankle flexion in your boot, whether in or out of your bindings.

V2 Harness

Customise your heel hold with the V2 Harness as it works in tandem with the V2 Liner to provide enhanced support and personalised fit.

Pleasurecuff

The supple elasticity of the PleasureCuff delivers a cushioned, comfortable fit that keeps your calves supported.

V2 Waffle Pro Outsole

The V2 Waffle Pro is a

progressively inspired and capability-driven design built for both on and off snowboard performance. Uncompromising natural flex and a weight-reducing, impact-resisting UltraCush midsole provide incredible board feel, while a Vans-exclusive pattern and rubber compound give you the confidence you need to scramble the side country with confidence.
