• Flex Rating – 7-9 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
• Fit: Armored Spine – Nitro uses an anatomically-shaped and 3D-molded heel reinforcement to provide even boot flex and long-lasting heel fit.
• Endure® Gravity Foam Toe – Durable, lightweight & sustainable.
• Liner: Cloud 9 Liner – Ultra-lightweight pre-molded Thermacell material creates a straight out of the box fit with unstoppable comfort. Nitro's signature latex heel pads provide lifetime heel fit, while the clutch tongue makes boot entry and exit easier.

• Lacing System: TLS Twin Lacing System – Nitro leading the pack with the TLS lacing system: Easy lace engagement and release, combined with the low abrasion of Dyneema® laces are the key factors of this highly reliable zonal lacing system.
