Low cuff hinge point:
- High leverage cuff assembly with hinge points mounted approximately 10 cm lower than standard construction boot designs.

Besides the Kinetic Response Tongue, the Dynalink heel retention, the Hike/Ride mechanism and the Inverted Forefoot Buckles are matching perfectly together to make this construction the best versatile and flexible partner in all kind of terrain, especially the backcountry and the park!
