Men's Quick Fastening Piste/Off-Piste Snowboard Boots

A word from the product manager

The All Road 500 snowboard boot was improved with the help of your product reviews.

From the 2019/20 season, we replaced the padding of the liner with a softer foam, which is still thermoformable, delivering superior comfort for everyone.

Support, stiffness and now comfort for all are the advantages of these boots. Enjoy your ride.

Replacement parts

In case of a problem we have spare parts:

_ adjustment wheel,

_ tightening cable.

These parts are not available to buy as the repair work is not straightforward, however the workshops in Decathlon stores have the replacement part references for this model and can repair your boot.

DOUBLE CABLE LOCK tightening system

Double Cable Lock: 2 very powerful tightening wheels with cable. There are 2 tightening areas to adjust the tightening as desired in each area:

_ at the bottom: the force of the 1st wheel is concentrated on the instep for the desired support,

_ at the top: the 2nd wheel prevents incorrect tibia movements inside the snowboard boot. You can also tighten it less to soften the boot, or more to stiffen it with the same support (bottom tightening).

Boot flex/stiffness

The All Road 900 flex is rigid (8/10).

Compared to the All Road 500, it has better board steering on hard slopes at full speed and is more solid on landing from big jumps.

The uncoupled clamping lets you: - fasten tighter to stiffen the boot (for piste, freeride or freestyle jump)

- loosen to soften the boot (for use on quiet slopes or freestyling: flat, jib)

Heel support: level 3 liner

Foot support is essential when snowboarding, to be able to correctly steer your board (foot in the liner, and liner in the boot). The level 3 liner applies 6 concepts:

1. thermoformable liner at home

2. Ergonomic Heel Pad ankle foam

3. "2-point + strap" liner tightening

4. Hook & Loop Link between the liner and boot

5. double layer of foam at the tongue on the instep, for support and comfort

6. 3D insole.

1. Thermoforming the liner by yourself / WARNING

THERMOFORMING IS ONLY POSSIBLE IN BUILT-IN OVENS MEASURING 56 x 60 x 56 cm WITH A FAN MODE.

DO NOT TRY ON A GAS OVEN OR A SMALL TABLE TOP OVEN WITH VISIBLE HEATING ELEMENTS.

1. Thermoforming the liner independently / INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Heat your oven, rotary heat mode, to 80°C

2. Remove the inner bases of the liners, place the liners on the oven plate with some greaseproof baking paper

3. Wait 15 mins

4. Put the insoles back in. Put on a pair of ski-snowboard socks. Put on the liners and tighten fully.

5. Put on the boots on and tighten fully

5. Wait 15 minutes, remaining still

Repeat this process if you still feel discomfort or a lack of support

2. "Ergonomic Heel Pad" malleolus foam

The ankle bone padding fills the hollow under and behind the ankle to hold the heel firmly in place. The level 2 liner contains a foam made in an exclusive Wed'ze material and shape: - the shape is based on an average of 40 foot scans. It is perfect for holding the foot tightly and adapts to everyone

- the material: a soft but firm elastomer foam. You can feel the support as soon as you slip your feet inside. And when you ride, there are no hard points.

3. "2-point + strap" liner tightening

On this liner, we retained only 2 tightening points with laces:

- at the instep

- above the ankle

At the top of the liner, we replaced the 3rd lacing point with a powerful tightening strap.

We therefore reduced the friction of the laces (2 points instead of 3) and focused the tightening force to provide heel support. On the upper part, the strap locks the liner even more tightly to the shin.

4. Hook & Loop Link between the liner and boot

We've added a rip-tab at the back between the liner and the boot.

The aim? To stop the liner slipping inside the boot to help you better control your board, because it’s not enough just to hold your foot in the liner: if the liner moves in the boot, you’ll be less able to control your board properly.

Insole

The insole of this boot is 3 dimensional. This sole is pre-shaped at the heel and arch of the foot to help prevent the foot from moving inside the liner. It offers comfort and thermal insulation. If you feel you need to maintain your foot more securely in the liner, there is another alternative: get a sole that can be thermoformed to suit your foot. This is the most effective solution.

Sole: grip, traction, cushioning and thermal insulation

Our Ultralight sole is 100% EVA foam. 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.

How can I be sure it's the right size?

1. Put the boot on

2.Tighten the boot

3. Stand upright

4. Your big toes should just touch the tip of the boot without causing unpleasant pressure

5. Bend your legs forward, your big toes move backwards and no longer touch the end of the boot.
