Product Info
It isn't typical to find American snowboarders clamoring "Encore, encore!" at the end of even the most glorious pow laps. But then again, the Vans Encore Snowboard Boots aren't your typical entry-level boots. Whether you're a park enthusiast or new to the game the Encore Boots provide an impressive blend of tech-based performance for season upon season of all-terrain riding. Lightweight and responsive, the Vans Encore Snowboard Boots feature heat moldable Flex Liners that do the dirty-work of breaking your boots in for you, while UltraCush™ foam in the V1 Footbeds and durable Reverse Waffle Soles fight fatigue and offer exceptional vibration dampening for sustained comfort from first chair to last lap.
Product Details
Flex
4 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – All-mountain flex and great balance of both support and playfulness extending it's use to any scenario.
Fit
Internal Web Harness – Vans sets the standard in every boot with versatile harness options. The Internal Web Harness is where it all begins.
Instep Flex Zones – Maintaining flex not only in your boot but also when your boot is strapped onto a binding describes the main problem that the Instep Flex Zone solves. It's because additional flex cannot be achieved without the act of riding in mind.
Liner
Flex Liner – For the rider who likes a little flex in their liner but can do without break-in delay. The Flex Liner needs nothing added to Vans' instantly perfect fit that rides on 50 years of footwear knowledge.
Dual-Density Heat Moldable Core
Closed Seam Brushed Fleece Cuff
UltraCush™ Lite Interior Cushioning Layer
Lacing System
Vans Boa® Coiler – This tongue-mounted single reel system utilizes a spring-loaded lace spool to automatically retreat lace cable slack for quick and efficient closure. Different lace guide radii help optimize closure force in specific areas of the boot.
Footbed
V1 Footbed – Vans' single-density UltraCush™ foam has proven its superior dampening capabilities--the same reliable technology found in Vans footwear brings comfort and function prowess to the V1 footbed.
Single-Density UltraCush™ Lite Construction – UltraCush Lite is a custom version of foam developed specifically for improving comfort and reducing weight. UltraCush Lite is used in a variety of constructions and applications, ranging from outsoles and midsoles to footbeds and liners.
Sole
Reverse Waffle Sole – A Vans outsole means Vans grip, and the Reverse Waffle outsole has plenty. Bringing half a century of footwear experience to bear, this durable shred foundation fights fatigue, absorbs impact, and optimizes feel and control.
One-Piece Rubber Cupsole – For minimum footprint and maximum boardfeel.
Vans' Special Recipe Rubber Compound – For all-terrain traction.
Oversized Inverted Waffle Tread Pattern – For increased traction and optimum snow release.
Additional Features
Heat Retention – To keep the warmth in and the cold out, all Vans boots come equipped with a thermal heat retention layer between the outsole and the liner. This layer reflects cold away from the foot and helps hold heat within the boot, keeping you nice and toasty.

Ability Level
Beginner-Intermediate Whether you’re new to the sport or working on linking smooth turns, you fall into this ability level. Typical beginner skis and snowboards are usually built with softer materials, narrower widths, and feature cap construction for an easy to turn, forgiving ride. Beginner-intermediate boots and bindings are also built for ease of use and progression, featuring softer flexes and in the case of ski bindings, quick and safe release from the ski in case of a fall.

Flex Rating:

Flex Rating
Soft The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
