The Alloy is new for 2008 and is leading the charge Women’s charge for fashionable comfort and support. There is no comparison at this level to the binding that is modeled after the Alpha, the marine boot that started the sewn overlay craze. Integrated stretch zones mold to your foot and hold with confidence. The Lf Exclusive Comfort Gusset makes this boot a cinch to get into and the women’s specific fit ensures that there won’t be any pressure points. The Alloy offers the support and performance a pro level rider like Tour Champ Shelby Kantar needs with the value the rest of you future Maven Pro’s are looking for.
