Let your riding do the talking with the Flare, another skate-inspired boot. DC used articulated upper construction to give you more lateral and forward flex. The Flare has a two-part water-resistant rubber outsole, and features a new heel-stay pad on the back of the boot. It helps the back of the boot grip you’re binding high-back. The Flare comes with the Gel Liner, which offers a lightweight and comfortable ride and features a lace-up closure and gel in the toe. DC used Perfomalite on the Flare’s midsole to keep the boot light and increase cushioning. The sole uses abrasion-resistant sticky rubber, which DC designed for great traction in the snow.
