Kids’ Quick Fastening Snowboard Boots - Indy 100 - XS

A word from the product manager

We have reimagined the design of this Decathlon kids’ snowboard boot to adapt better to kids. This is a linerless boot, i.e. it has no sockliner, which means that it only has one tightening mechanism: it's more convenient for kids and their parents. For greater comfort, we have also made the boot lighter.

Fast Lock tightening system

The idea for the Indy 100 quick fastening snowboard boots came from a snowboard instructor’s statement: “We have to stop traditional laces with to-do knots, all too often I start my classes by tightening the kids’ laces”. Simply pull on the laces and lower the locking system: it's done! Tip: depending on the kids’ age, take care of it yourself to be sure that your kid’s foot is well supported.

Boot flex/stiffness

We strive to achieve a soft flex (2/10). It provides comfort in use and reduces physical fatigue so that you can make the most of your day. It has the advantage of helping the beginner to adopt the right position on the board: flexed ankles, so that the legs are not straight. You have to react quickly when you're snowboarding so it's important to bend the knees. Starting with a boot that’s too stiff can be detrimental.

"Heel Pad Comfort" ankle foam

The ankle bone padding fills the hollow under and behind the ankle to hold the heel firmly in place.

The level 1 liner has relatively soft, mono-material, 10 mm-thick ankle foam pads.

The aim is to provide the heel-foot support needed to match the level of the boot. Because the faster the young rider goes, the greater the energy involved, and the more foot support is needed. The Comfort Foam fulfils this goal by providing maximum comfort for all.

Sole: grip, traction, cushioning and thermal insulation

Our Ultralight sole is 100% EVA. EVA is a very light material with 80% air. This formulation is designed to resist abrasion while keeping its damping properties. It is naturally very insulating and protects against the cold rising from the ground. We designed in large studs to offer you very good grip. Sufficiently far apart from each other, they help get rid of the snow.
