Legendary Durability, Modern Style, and a Dual BOA System for Effortless Precision. Experience comfort beyond limits with Vans 'Veil' Snowboarding Boots! Vans has been around for a long time and has a reputation for lasting forever. This boot is a testament to all their knowledge and understanding of Snowboarding. The Veil has a unique modern look and rides that way as well. Double BOA system: one knob (front) which controls the lower boot and one knob (side) that controls the upper boot. Super easy to get in/out! No more taking gloves off to tighten these boots! All black, heavy duty rubber soles, size 10. I wear 9-9.5 and those fit great with wool/thick socks. Incredibly comfortable! Comes from smoke free home
