The Range Edition is a special backcountry upgrade to the verse that features an Adaptive Range Mode with a Rear Drop-Cuff that can be unlocked to widen the top opening of the boot for a significantly expanded range of motion. This is a game changer when hiking, skinning switchbacks, or ripping the snowmobile deep into the hills. This among other reliable tech means you can get there with less effort and stay out longer with more protection.

Key Features
Boa Coiler Closure System - This tongue mounted single reel system utilizes a springloaded lace spool to automatically retract the lace cable slack for quick and efficient closure. Different lace guide radii are used to optimize closure force in specific areas of the boot.
Custom Slide Guide - Customizing the fit of your boots has never been easier or more convenient. The Custom Slide Guide’s anatomical shape provides adjustable fit anywhere along the instep area for added comfort and unmatched heel hold.
Flex Control System - No longer will you be hindered by one built-in flex rating. Their removable high rebound Hytrel tongue stiffeners allow riders to custom-tune boot flex. Slide them both in for maximum support, use just one to increase either later or medial response, or leave them out entirely for softer flexing boot.
Liner
V3 UltraCush™ Liner - Features Van's expanded comfort-flex neoprene forefoot, adjustable and/or removable asymmetrical X-cage for a micro-adjustable fit and excellent heel hold, UltraCush interior cushioning layer, dual-density, heat-moldable core, an exterior support cage, a soft microsuede cuff/tongue, and a comfort-flex toe box.
V3 POPCUSH™ Footbed - Tri-density POPCUSH construction with an OrthoLite® open-cell foam top layer, TPU arch support heel clip, a 3-D molded anatomical shape, anti-fatigue coring design, airflow perforations, and a Nylex moisture-wicking topsheet.
V3 Harness - This advanced support harness delivers Vans' highest level of support to the ankle and instep, keeping the V3 liner and boot shell locked in and connected.
Heat Retention 360° - All Vans boots feature a newly improved thermal retention layer that provides a 360° wrap of the toe box and between the outsole and the liner. This essential layer keeps heat in and cold out, ensuring all-day warmth and comfort.
FlashDry™ - Fabric engineered to act like a second skin, pushing moisture to the surface and eliminating it as fast as possible.
Flex/Response
PowerCuff Strap - Power is the operative word with the PowerCuff Strap. It provides extra support at the top of the boot for increased stability and response. Its configuration gives riders customizable levels of engagement and the option of wrapping the strap around the internal liner or the exterior tongue.
Instep Flex Zone - Maintaining flex not only in your boot but also when your boot is strapped onto a binding describes the main problem that the Instep Flex technology solves.
Outsole
V3 Ultimate Waffle Outsole - The Ultimate Waffle represents Vans' most progressive thinking in outsole technology. Loaded with features like an aggressive perimeter lug pattern traction and a co-molded asymmetrical ESS arch cradle for enhanced stability and energy transfer, this sole is found only on their top shelf products and offers the widest range of versatility. From stomping a big landing to side-hilling a hike you can count on the Ultimate Waffle.
Convenience/Durability
Waterproof Zipper Shroud + D-Ring - This feature is a durable and weatherproof fabric shield that protects the lower part of your boot from snow, ice, and moisture, ensuring easy access to your Boa closure no matter what the weather throws at you. It also features a metal D-ring for securely fastening your pant gaiters to lock out snow.
