Supplied by BOA Technology, the wheels and the laces of the adjustment system have undergone thousands of hours of rigorous tests in the lab and in the field, and are guaranteed to prolong the life of the boot on which they are built into.
After-sales service is provided on the habufit.com/support website.
Repairing ATop wheels and cable
In case of a problem we have spare parts:
_ the tightening wheel,
the tightening cable.
These parts are not available to buy as the repair work is not straightforward, however the workshops in Decathlon stores have the replacement part references for this model and can repair your boot.
habu® Fit System (produced by Boa® technology)
The habu® fItsystem combines three important technical elements to transform the snowboard experience:
1) the innovative innovative wheel ensures micro-adjustment and precision,
2) the habu® cable is light, but very durable with 75 stainless steel strands.
3) low friction habu® guides ensure uniform pressure distribution whilst minimising wear and long lifespan.
Separate tightening system - 2 zones
On the All Road 500, there are 2 independent tightening zones:
1. The micro-adjustable fItsystem system is micro-adjustable for powerful and precise tightening of the lower part of the shoe.
2. Powerful strap to flatten the boot on your shin.
With this strap, every flex/extension, the shin is less tight and the foot is more compressed. A lower cable length stops this negative effect.
Boot flex/stiffness
The All Road 500 boots have medium (6/10) stiffness (or flex). They are aimed at riders who hold a curve at high speed (requiring a stiff shoe) while allowing them to stay responsive through small turns or surprise bumps that require quick leg flex-extension. The flex and heel support are both superior to the SNB 100 boot.
Increase the stiffness of your boots by adding Flex Up
The Flex Up (8600870) enables you to make your boot more rigid on 2 out of 10 flexion points (with Flex Up, this new boot has a rigidity of approximately 5/10).
This is a plastic accessory which is inserted into the tongue of Decathlon snowboard boots produced from the 2022/23 season onwards. A pocket has been included in the design so that it's properly positioned in terms of height and laterality.
The Flex Up makes sense over time: If your boot turns more limp, give it a second life.
Heel support: level 2 (/3) liner
Foot support is essential when snowboarding to steer your board (such as foot in the boot or liner in the boot). The Level 2 liner applies four beneficial concepts:
1. Thermoformable liner from home
2. Ergonomic Heel Pad ankle foam
3. 2-point liner tightening + strap on the tibia,
4. Hook & Loop Link between the liner and boot
1. THERMOFORMING THE LINER INDEPENDENTLY / PLEASE PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION
THERMOFORMING IS ONLY POSSIBLE IN BUILT-IN OVENS MEASURING 56 x 60 x 56 cm WITH A FAN MODE.
DO NOT TRY ON A GAS OVEN OR A SMALL TABLE TOP OVEN WITH VISIBLE HEATING ELEMENTS.
1. Thermoforming the liner independently / INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Heat your oven to 80°C in convection mode
2. Remove the inner soles from the liners, place the liners on the oven plate covered with a piece of baking paper
3. Wait 15 mins
4. Put the socks back on, put them on with a pair of ski-snowboard socks and tighten them (not too much)
5. Put the boots on and tighten fully to 5. Wait for 15 minutes when static.
This operation can be repeated if necessary.
A video is available in this product sheet.
2. Ergonomic Heel Pad ankle foam
The ankle bone padding fills the hollow under and behind the ankle to hold the heel firmly in place. The level 2 liner contains a foam made in an exclusive Wed'ze material and shape: - the shape is based on an average of 40 foot scans. It’s perfect for holding 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 + strap liner tightening
On this liner, we kept just 2 points of tightening with the laces:
- at the instep,
- above the ankle bone.
At the top of the boot, we replaced the 3rd lacing point with a powerful tightening strap. We therefore reduced the friction of the laces (2 points instead of 3) and focused the tightening force to provide heel support. On the upper part, the strap locks the liner even more tightly to the shin.
4. Hook & Loop Link between the liner and boot
We've added a rip-tab at the back between the liner and the boot. The aim? To stop the liner 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
The insole of this boot is flat. It offers comfort and thermal insulation. If you really feel the need for added support for your foot in the liner, you have two options: - get a sole with a pre-formed foot arch and heel - get a sole that can be thermoformed to suit your foot. This is the most effective solution.
Sole: grip, traction, cushioning and thermal insulation
Our Ultralight sole is 100% EVA. EVA is a very light material with 80% air. This formulation is designed to resist abrasion while keeping its damping properties. It is naturally very insulating and protects against the cold rising from the ground. We designed in large studs to offer you 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 backwards and no longer touch the end of the boot.
A word from the product manager
The All Road 500 snowboard boot was improved with the help of your product reviews.
_ season 19/20, we used a softer liner foam, still thermoformable, for increased comfort,
_ season 20/21, we moved the tightening wheel to the side so that the tightening wheel and the Velcro tab on the tibia no longer interfere with each other,
_ season 22/23, following wheel breakages, we changed our wheel and cable supplier.
A big thank you for your comments and have a great time on the slopes.
