Design details
Who is it intended for?
This medium flex boot is suitable for most on-piste/off-piste snowboarders, but also for freestylers who ride in the table's line/jump park. Beginners and freestylers/jibbers will find it a bit stiff. Advanced freeriders will find it a little too flexible.
Improved comfort
The padding of the liner is the same as Decathlon's range model, and the level of comfort has been significantly improved, thanks to customer reviews:
_ customer review rating of the old Foraker 500 model, for the 19/20 season: 3.69/5 with 48 reviews
_ customer review rating of the new All Road 500 model, for the 20/21 season: 4.76/5 with 17 reviews - fewer reviews, because of the lack of ski lifts this winter.
Quick to try on for the customer
The boot is different from the model in the range to make it quicker for the customer to try on:
- 1 single adjustment knob instead of 1 knob + 1 rip-tab
- No rip-tab link between liner and boots (superior support on the model sold at Decathlon, while it's much quicker to take out the liner on the rental model).
- A very large opening of the tongue (boot and liner) as always, to facilitate foot entry/exit.
For rental companies
Mondopoint size added large on the back of the boots
Plastic window to insert or stick the rental barcode
The colours of the boots are matched to the colours of the bindings so that the rental company can start preparing the board at the same time as the customer tries on their boots
* black and white: boots and binding size M (36 to 41 in EU size)
* black and blue: boots and binding size L (42 to 47 in EU size)
After-sales service
The workshops in the Decathlon stores have access to spare parts and provide the after-sales service because they know how to replace them on the boot:
_ adjustment knob
_ cables
