Wedze All Road 900, Snowboard Boots, Men's

A word from the product manager

In its second year, this model has been improved.

Your feedback on the Foraker 500 model has shown that comfort could be improved.

The All Road 900 had the same foam, stiff enough to hold the foot but too firm to be to everyone's comfort.

We therefore applied the same improvements to the All Road 900: softer foam and still thermoformable.

Support, stiffness and now comfort for all are the advantages of these boots.

DOUBLE CABLE LOCK tightening system

Double Cable Lock: 2 very powerful fastening wheels with cable.

There are 2 clamping zones to adjust the clamping as desired for each zone.

At the bottom: the force of the first wheel is concentrated on the instep to give the required support.

At the top: the 2nd wheel prevents incorrect tibia movements inside the snowboard boot. You can also tighten it less to soften the boot, or more to stiffen it with the same support (bottom tightening).

Boot flex/stiffness

The All Road 900 offers medium to rigid flex.

Compared to the Foraker 500, it offers better board control on hard slopes at full speed and is also more robust on landing big jumps.

The uncoupled clamping allows you to:

- tighten more to make the boot stiffer (on-piste use, freeriding and freestyle jumps)

- tighten less to loosen the boot (less strenuous runs and playful freestyle: flat, jib)

Heel support: level 3 liner

Foot support is essential when snowboarding, to be able to correctly steer your board (foot in the liner, and liner in the boot).

The level 3 liner applies 6 concepts:

1. thermoformable liner at home

2. Ergonomic Heel Pad ankle foam

3. "2-point + strap" liner fastening

4. Hook and Loop Link between the liner and boot

5. Double layer of foam at the tongue on the instep, for support and comfort

6. 3D insole.

1. Thermoforming the liner on your own

1. Heat your oven, rotary heat mode, to 175°F

2. Remove the inner soles of the liners, and place the liners on the oven plate with some greaseproof baking paper

3. Wait 15 min

4. Put the hygiene insoles back, put on a pair of ski/snowboard socks, put the liners on your feet and tighten them fully.

5. Put the boots on and tighten fully

5. Wait 15 minutes, standing still

This operation can be repeated.

ONLY ON A BUILT-IN OVEN 22" x 23.6" x 22"

2. "Ergonomic Heel Pad" ankle foam

Ankle foams fill the anatomical hollow under and behind the ankle to wedge the heel in place.

The level 2 liner contains a foam made in an exclusive Wed'ze material and shape:

- the shape comes from an average of 40 foot scans. It’s perfect for wedging the foot in place and adapts to everyone

- the material: a soft but firm elastomer foam.

You can feel the support as soon as you slip your feet inside. And when you ride, there are no hard points.

3. "2-point" liner tightening

On this liner, we kept just 2 points of tightening with laces:

- at the instep

- above the ankle

At the top of the liner, we replaced the 3rd lacing point with a powerful tightening strap.

We therefore reduced the friction of the lace (2 points instead of 3) and concentrated the tightening force to better support the heel. On the upper part, the strap locks the liner even tighter to the shin.

4. Hook and Loop Link between the liner and boot

We added a rip-tab at the back between the liner and the boot.

The aim? To stop the liner from slipping inside the boot to help you better control your board because it’s not enough just to hold your foot in the liner: if the liner moves in the boot, you’ll be less able to control your board properly.

Insole

This boot has a 3D insole.

This sole is pre-shaped at the heel and arch of the foot to help prevent the foot from moving inside the liner.

It provides comfort and thermal insulation.



If you feel you need to maintain your foot more securely in the liner, there is another alternative: get a sole that can be thermoformed to suit your foot. This is the most effective solution.

Sole: grip, adhesion, cushioning and thermal insulation

Our Ultralight sole is only in 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 large studs to provide you with very good grip. Sufficiently far apart from each other, they help get rid of the snow.

How can I be sure it's the right size?

1. Put the boot on

2. Tighten the boot

3. Stand upright

4. Your big toes should just touch the tip of the boot without causing unpleasant pressure

5. Bend your legs forward, your big toes move backward and no longer touch the end of the boot.
