Powerful, comfy and long-lasting boots
of Anna, Product Content, Blue Tomato, 7 Jan 2022
I've been riding with the Salomon Kiana with speed lacing system for 5 years, and I have loved them each and every day. This year, however, the time has come for them to retire, after so many seasons of honourable service. When it came to choosing my new pair of boots, I didn't have much doubt: I went for the new Salomon Kiana with Dual Boa. As with my old Kiana, I opted for one size larger than my usual shoe size. I couldn't have made a better choice.
I've tested my new Kiana for both splitboarding and on the slopes, and I have to say that I haven't found a single flaw. The Dual Boa system is even simpler and faster than the old Speed Lacing, and it also holds significantly longer (every now and then, especially in the last two seasons, I had to stop and tighten my boots because the laces of the Speed Lacing system had come loose). So, if you like your boots tight from the first until the last run, the Dual Boa system is the right choice for you.
The liner is lightweight, soft, warm and comfortable and keeps the foot cosy and dry all day long - even during ascents. Despite the comfort and softness on the inside, the medium flex of these boots provides all the power and the support you need during more aggressive riding and carving on the slopes, as well as during splitboard tours. The perfect combination of comfort and support!
If, like me, you love freeriding, carving and the occasional splitboard tour and are looking for a comfortable, responsive boot that you can rely on, look no further - the Kiana is the one for you.
