Details

Duotone Boot 2019

The Duotone Boot just keeps getting better! Driven by Team Rider Craig Cunningham and taking inspiration from our international Freestyle/Wakestyle Team, it's proven to take massive landings and steezy presses in its stride. A premium product designed specifically for kiteboarding its medium stiffness not only offers outstanding support with maximum heel hold, but also allows for freedom of movement and as much flex as the rider commands. The new, frictionless eyelets allow for a quick and easy on/off, whilst the updated closing system features both laces and removable velcro straps for solid closing. The reworked toe area creates an incredibly comfortable and more streamlined fit, as well as eliminating any chances of pinching or creasing in and around the foot. The TPU reinforced ballistic nylon Tongue erases potential pressure points, whilst the reinforced heel retention strap firmly holds the back of the foot in place.

The stance - which position should I fit my boots or straps in?

STANCE WIDTH

stance left right

WIDE STANCE
+ more stability in landings
+ can hold more power
- increased inner side knee injury risk with overwide stance

NARROW STANCE
+ greater maneuverability
+ less resistance in rotations

taller people need a wider stance than shorter people. To find your stance width, jump forward and land in a comfortable squad position.

pad position

stance up down

centred pads
+ more stability in landings (weight lands through centre of board)
- harder to edge heelside with small feet

closer to heelside
+ easier to edge on heels for upwind and jumping
- less stability in landings (weight lands off centre)
- harder to edge toeside

if you suffer pain in shins; move position towards heels for easier edging.

Foot Angle

Stance_rotation

duck footed (wide angle)
+ more maneuverbility in various riding styles (E.g. carving and toeside)
- increased inner side knee injury risk with over ducked stance

parallel stance
+ greater stability in landings
+ less resistance in rotations

if suffering pain at the inside of knee; move angle closer to parallel. Look for your natural foot angle when you squat.
