ABSTRACT:
A snowboarding boot with an improved sole construction comprises an upper that engages a two-piece sole. The sole includes a outer sole formed from a resilient rubber-like material that can include treads along the bottom. A midsole constructed from a lightweight, semi-rigid materials, such as ethyl vinyl acetate is joined to the outer sole. The outer sole includes side walls that typically wrap around the toe section of the boot and that taper away toward the heel section. The midsole includes sidewalls that extend upwardly along the upper at the heel section and that join with the sidewalls of the outer sole along a sloped seam line. The midsole sidewalls provide good lateral support to the heel section of the boot, while maintaining a lightweight construction.
