DC Shoe Co. Flare Boot - Women's Skate inspired Mountain Flare Bring the skate heat to the slopes with the DC Flare Snowboard Boot, another of DCs skate-inspired boots. The Flare features DCs new 3D tongue for smooth comfort, and also sports a toe-strap. You can tighten it down for more support, or leave it hanging for style points. We used articulated upper construction to give you more lateral and forward flex without sacrificing support. The Flare has a two-part water-resistant rubber outsole, and features a heel-stay pad on the back of the boot to increase grip to your binding high-back. The Flare comes with DCs Gel Liner, which helps you avoid the toe jam on those harsh landings. DC used Performalite on the Flares midsole to keep the boot tight and to increase cushioning, and they've also added a full-size airbag that extends from the heel to the ball of the foot. The sole is abrasion-resistant sticky rubber, and we designed if for maximum traction in the snow.
