![]() ![]() Shock Absorption: Very solid shock absorption. I actually like the Powerlock lace Synapse for flex retention over the Focus BOA because it has some articulation at the ankle where the BOA doesn’t. It will just be softer at the end of the year than when it started. It doesn’t pack out a lot of noodles out quickly so this is more than fine for the 100 day a year rider. So if you are freaky about heel lift this is a good boot to try.įlex Retention: Not bad but it slowly breaks down over time. ![]() The upper and lower share almost the same area in the center so it’s more about “focusing” the grip around your heel/ankle. Salomon boots have a unique contour inside that really focuses on keeping your heel in place and the Focus BOA locks it in.Īdjustability: The Synapse Focus BOA is not the most adjustable boot. Heel Hold: I have felt some boots like K2 lock in the heel a little better but this is really good. Turn Initiation: Nice quick edge to edge transitioning that makes for a good boot for those that want a lot of response but want to stay a shade away from the ultra-stiff ultra responsive boots that can get a bit twitchy if you ride an easier turning board.Ĭomfort: Mary loves this comfort and I felt it was pretty good but a little behind the F-Series in terms of feel. I think both could work and as the 9 packs out I’d just add a little boot fitting foam in the toe and/or heel.įlex: Same med/stiff flex that borders on stiff when it’s out of the box. No one is perfect and we do make money from the “Where To Buy” links below, but this is our best attempt at an honest and objective review from an average riders’ perspective.įit: Felt like it was really close to fit true to size and I felt in between a size 9 and a size 8.5. The 2015 Salomon Synapse BOA boot has a more reduced footprint that isn’t amazing but it’s much better than past years and closer to the Salomon F-Series.Įthics Statement: We don’t get paid by the manufacturer to write these reviews. The Salomon Synapse BOA is the Synapse with a different lacing system for those that must have BOA ![]()
