Product Check: DC Boots.

Boots are the most important part of your set-up. No matter what anyone else tells you, that is the truth, and the dudes from DC know this, and completely re-vamped their boot line for the 2010 season. With a new boot designer in house and tons of hard work, those dudes are bringing you some solid boots at solid pricepoints. All of the DC boots utilize a 1 to 1 ratio, making it so that for every full size or half-size liner, there is a liner designed specifically for that size (so your sz.10 DC Boot has a sz.10 DC liner in it. Makes sense, right?) Notice that NONE of the liner have ANY stitching across the toe-box or on the bottom of the liner, giving the rider (you) a seamless fit.

DC's highest end lace boot, The Journey, is 100% team driven, and definitely Team ridden. The Journey packs tons of tech into this $249.99 boot, and it shows in the fit. The Journey comes with a gel-injected footbed, giving you some padding from hitting jumps and riding rails. This goes on top of the EVA outsole with a an Airbag in the heel, talk about protection. The Journey's liner comers equipped with Outlast technology, which operates as a temperature regulator, making sure that your feel feel comfortable in all conditions. The heel of the liner is comprised of directional fiber, and alongside DC's built-in J-Bars, the heel hold in the Journey is incredible. The Alpha liner also comes stock with a fully integrated heel hold support system. This boot fits DAMN good, and is something that you will definitely want to wear session after session, season after season...

DC's take on the Journey...One of the team’s favorites boots! Cushioning, support, flex, and overall design make the Journey an obvious choice, whether you’re a park kid or backcountry charger.
