Tech Talk: Fit Flex Access...inside the BD boot story The design and construction of Black Diamond's all-new line of freeride boots can be broken into three main areas of focus: Fit, Flex, and Focus. It is the unique combination of these three areas that makes BD's boots unrivaled in comfort and uncompromising in performance. Fit: Insulating boot boards... Strobeled, true-lasted liners... Unique custom foot beds... Exclusive BOA closure system-these are all integral parts to BD's boots "ground up" Net Shape Fit Technology, in which the boots' anatomical shell construction is based off of the "net" foot shape after taking into account the interior boot board, footbed and liner layers. To ensure an optimized fit and performance, BD's liners come in four boot-specific styles: Power Fit, Power Fit Light, Efficient Fit, and Efficient Fit Light. Another key to the boots' exceptional overall fit and comfort is the liners' proprietary, engineered foam, which provides comfort, customizable fit and long-lasting durability in a fully thermoformable, true-lasted system Anti-Microbial Liner fabric is smooth for comfort and easy in/out Multi-density internal Achilles pad insert Zero-compaction Strobel liner construction for long-lasting volume True-lasted construction for out-of-box performance fit or can be thermoformed for total customization Elastic bridge for rearward flex during touring Performance, custom foot bed is thermoformable(though we still recommend true arch support for most people) Reflective foil for an excellent radiant thermal barrier Boot board is removable, customizable and insulating The shells of BD's A.T. and Freeheel Telemark boots are built using alpine overlap construction, which produces a natural progressive flex and ankle articulation to drive and steer skis, as well as absorb terrain. This true progressive flex results in an immediate transfer of power with the sensitivity to absorb and feel-something an unnatural, mechanically obstructed, traditional tongue construction cannot deliver. The overlap construction also yields and unrestricted upper cuff for touring efficiency-not possible with boot shells made from outdated designs and tooling. The shells are made with Pebax® or engineered polyurethane and offer a stiff yet sensitive structure. A.T. Boots: The frames on BD's A.T. boots are designed with high torsional stiffness to provide the maximum lateral power transfer required to drive today's fatter skis, and, most importantly, offer progressive alpine-like flex that you desire for the down. The A.T. frames are divided into two categories: Triax-Pro and Triax-Performance frames.
