Lange Lange Super Blaster (2010)

With this boot, Lange blazes into the hike-friendly-but-powerful-enough-to-rip category. It combines the control and power we’ve come to expect from the brand with the versatility and adaptability of a high-end freeride boot. Flip the buckle-mounted walk-mode switch to hike the ridge or park. PLUS: Eats up windslab and nimbly handles tight trees and chutes. PLUS: Testers found the fit a bit too voluminous.
