Dreamscape Indy 300, All-Mountain/Freestyle Snowboarding Boots, Kids'

We revised the design of these kids’ boots. This is a linerless boot, i.e. it has no sock liner, which means that it only has 1 tightening mechanism: it's more convenient for kids and their parents. For greater comfort, we have also made the boot lighter.

The easy fastening system of the Indy 300 emerged from a comment made by a snowboard instructor: "We must find an alternative to conventional laces that have to be tied. I spend too much time tightening my clients' laces at the start of lessons." We improved it this winter by adding a scratch at shin-level for perfect tightening. 1. Fast, powerful tightening focused on the instep to hold the foot firmly in place 2. Rip-tab at shin-level to prevent any movement between the shin and tongue.

We strive to achieve a soft flex (2/10). It provides comfort in use and reduces physical fatigue so that you can make the most of your day. It has the advantage of helping the beginner to adopt the right position on the board: flexed ankles, so that the legs are not straight. You have to react quickly when you're snowboarding, so it's important to bend the knees. Starting with a boot that’s too stiff can be detrimental.

The ankle bone padding fills the hollow under and behind the ankle to hold the heel firmly in place. The level 1 liner has relatively soft, mono-material, 10 mm-thick ankle foam pads. The aim is to provide the heel-foot support needed to match the level of the boot. In fact, the faster you go, the more energy you bring into play, and the more support you need for your foot. Comfort Foam meets this objective by providing maximum comfort for all.

Our Ultralight sole is only made of EVA. EVA is a very light material made of 80% air. This formulation is designed to resist abrasion while retaining its cushioning properties. It is naturally very insulating and protects you against the cold coming up from the ground. We designed the knobby lugs to provide very good grip. They are far enough apart to make it easier to remove snow.

Imported

All the Dreamscape by Decathlon products are tested in the real-life conditions of use for which they were designed. In the snow, in the cold, and in all the conditions that you may encounter when snowboarding, whether it is in powder snow, in the snow park, or on piste. The design teams, product managers, designers, and engineers make sure that the program for which the product was designed and developed perfectly matches its use in the field.

At the end of the day, remove the insole from the liner so that it can dry completely overnight.
