SNOWBOARDER says:
When it comes to keeping their feet warm, dry, and comfortable all-winter long, female impresarios Nirvana Ortanez and Maddie Mastro trust the Salomon Kiana Focus BOA. A pair of boots can make or break your snowboarding experience and Salomon has imbued quality tech and comfortable features into the Kiana in order to make sure your feet never make you call it when you want to stay out. The Kiana is Salomon’s first women’s-specific addition to the Fit To Ride line, which means this pair of boots is 10% lighter and more compact, is comfy right out of the box, and has loads of durability. Dual-zone BOA closures allow you to dial in the perfect fit and easily make adjustments on-the-go, while a 3D-molded tongue provides a consistent flex and securely wraps your foot. The Kiana Focus BOA also features Salomon’s Full Custom Fit with heat-moldable, multi-density Ultralon foam liners and Ortholite C2 dual density footbeds, so the only dogs that will be barking after a long day in the mountains will be your favorite pups when you get back home to see them. The Damplite+ Outsole is a mix of Contagrip rubber and ultra-dampening EVA foam for added traction, impact reduction on landings, and enhanced boardfeel. All in all, if you’re looking for a pair of boots that will perform on hill without sacrificing comfort, the Salomon Kiana Focus BOA is a perfect choice for winter wear.
