08 DC Boot Allegiance Espresso Nomad

The Allegiance. DC's top of the line boot for the all mountain rider is back for 2008, this year with even more features to call it the best snowboard boot in the world. This time around it's more supportive for all mountain riding thanks to a combination of the lateral support beam and the new external skeleton in the back area of the boot. No folding, no breaking, no buckling.

The Allgiance is the first boot from DC to feature the BOA Focust System. This is a unique technology with 2 zones for tightening, evenly distributing pressure on both the lower and upper of the boot, not just the upper as in typical boot construction. This creates the ultimate customized fit. The Allegiance also has DC's newest outsole, the Injection EVA Midsole. It's approximately 40 percent lighter than other outsoles. We've taken cues from our skateboard shoe line by incorporating DGT (Dynamic Grip Technology) and CTR ( Cold Temperature Rubber) in the most significant areas of the sole, creating a podular design that allows for better grip and durability. We've included a Lateral Support Beam to ensure optimum flex and support, and an Articulated Upper Cuff for effortless and instant boot break-in. The Allegiance also has DC's 3D Tongue for comfort, Internal Ankles Brace for support, and te RECCO Avalanche Rescue System.
