As the female-specific counterpart to the men's Maori the Ivy is an ideal choice for recreational riders who have a tough time getting boots to fit right (even when you found the boots in the correct size). Find the size right and these boots will do most of the fitting for you. That's because the Ivy features Salomon's Custom Fit Sport liner one of the most successful snowboard liners ever made with heat moldable foam. The Custom Fit Sport liner emphasizes conformity around key fit areas like the shin and ankle. With your feet properly enveloped in the comfortable liner you'll discover a better heel hold and you'll probably find that you're making turns easier (if not it's probably time to get someone to check your board and bindings). The Ivy features Salomon's Powerlace Pro closure system so you can apply two distinct zones of tension over your foot. It's precise easy to use and it keeps the boot tongue from sliding sideways while you're making turns down the mountain. Along the bottom you'll find a female-specific Ginger outsole that amplifies energy transmission and sensitivity. Like Salomon's more expensive snowboard boots the Ivy sole also features Salomon's exclusive ADIPRENE compound to help absorb impacts from big air landings but the 3D treads also apply extra traction at all angles on all types of snow.
