Cuff Hinge

Most ski boots connect at two ankle points and in the back of the upper shell, creating a cuff which restricts forward/backward articulation, so you’re fighting energy vs. flowing with it.  

With Zay, only one point connects the cuff to the lower shell on each side of your ankle, creating natural forward/backward ski motion for a better ski stance. This dynamic design articulates with the skier’s motion for crisp edge control, precision fit and ankle flexion. The result? No shin bang.  

In concert with the cuff hinge, the two cables underneath the sole connect to the upper shell; along with a resistive force that tightens around the forefoot once buckled in, our boot provides a smooth and progressive flex. The result? Effortless power transfer between your foot and the ski.  

Zay is the only automatic tensioning ski boot with progressive flex, because we know how much a customizable fit improves both comfort and performance.
