Ride Deadbolt Snowboard Boot Basics

The 2025 Ride Deadbolt Zonal boot is a responsive all-mountain freestyle boot that combines comfort and support while allowing you to focus on progressing your riding. In2grated™ Construction creates a lightweight, short-length performance boot. The liner is factory molded inside the shell to create the most efficient "net fit", leading to less pack out for better overall comfort. The heat-moldable Intuition™ Support Foam Liner features Dual-density foam that offers superior performance with freedom of movement. The bamboo charcoal-infused Black Gold™ Liner Mesh naturally mitigates odors and moisture. Other benefits include improved temperature regulation and circulatory function. The Boa® Tongue Tied™ Fit System combined with Boa® Zonal Focus provides a precise two-zone fit system for ultimate heel hold. The Closer™ Lace Guide is centred over the forefoot to drive lace power down low to even the lace tension throughout the entire boot. Accompanied by Boa® Zonal Fit System, the even-tightening of The Closer™ Lace Guide provides an incredibly precise fit. 1:1 lasting ensures a seamless liner-to-shell integration for all whole and half sizes.

The Ride Deadbolt Snowboard Boot is best suited for hard-charging freestyle riders and all-mountain rippers who value performance, control, and comfort. If you're looking for a high-performance boot with a focus on control, comfort, and style, the Ride Deadbolt is it.

Ride Deadbolt Boot Test Notes

"It's super clean. I love that, but I also like how low-profile it is. It's super slim, which I really like. It's also really light. It felt really good. It moulded in my foot really quickly and was very comfortable the first day I rode it. It just felt great. There was no foot pain at all and it's a perfect flex. It's not crazy stiff, but it's not soft. It has an intuition liner, which helped it feel good right away. Youu can heat mould it or just let it naturally mould to your foot. This is the first time I've worn BOA boots, and I'm not going to lie—I kind of liked it. I see the convenience. It's also cool it's dual zones, so you can have loose here, tight here, and vice versa. I really do think that the boot is going to hold up, it feels like it's durable and has a solid flex that is going to hold up for a while. This boot really excels for the person who's looking for one boot to do everything. If you're looking for a mid to stiff boot that will last and be really comfortable and easy to break in, this is the boot for you."—Jon Martin
