As the boot of choice for Arthur Longo, the flagship Infuse combines all of Vans experience in high-end snowboard boot design and production with some of the most advanced materials and construction techniques available. The result is a  groundbreaking boot that delivers outstanding performance across the whole mountain. Built around an all-new state of the art upper that features asymmetric flex zones and Vans’s Flex Control System, the Infuse Loongo utilises Vans Hybrid Boa closure system. This advanced closure system combines the custom lacing options of a traditional lace closure with the unrivalled heel-lock of a side-mounted Boa. This innovative design allows you to dial in the perfect flex and stiffness, ensuring that no matter what or where you ride, you’ve got a boot that’s going to deliver the ultimate performance. However, the Infuse isn’t just about performance. Thanks to the fully heat mouldable V3 Ultracush Liner, V3 Popcush footbed, it’s also one of the most comfortable boots you can strap your feet into.Traditional Lace ClosureVans Hybrid BoaSlide GuideAsymmetrical Flex ZonesV3 Ultracush with TNF Flashdry LinerV3 Popcush FootbedV3 UltimateWaffle OutsoleWaterproof Zipper Shroud with D-RingPowercuff StrapV3 HarnessIn Step Flex ZonePleasurecuffHeat Retention 360Moulded toe and heel protectionStiffness Rating: 6-8/10Fit Profile: A well balanced overall fit that’s works with most foot shapes.
