Hyperlite Freepress Wakeboard Boots
Hyperlite is a model created in collaboration with rider JB O'Neill. He prefers the refined System Binding concept for park riding, but needed a taller, more supportive boot that would also be flexible enough to accommodate riders of all abilities.
The Freepress is Hyperlite's highest-profile boot, providing support all the way to the calf, providing the ideal mid-range of motion for optimal energy transfer and precise response. The boot is also designed with comfort and cushioning in mind, while providing a firm, non-slip heel hold. The construction is flexible in the ankle area for a comfortable ride without compromising on responsiveness. So get going like JB in his YouTube videos and jump into the Freepress.
* This boot is designed specifically for use with Hyperlite System Binding.
Main features
- 2-Part Theory – binding and boot form the ultimate connection. The binding provides support and security, the boot provides control and comfort.
- 3-piece construction: Insole - comfort and arch support; Midsole - new impact-resistant EVA midsole; Outsole - sewn to the heel construction, rubber with optimal traction
- Range of motion: Medium – designed for those looking for a balance of support and control
- Support Level: Maximum – materials used are chosen to maintain firm support and responsiveness
- Fully Lasted fit – The boot is precisely shaped on the shoemaker's last, which determines the shape of the heel, toe and overall shape. This process ensures consistency and comfort with every wear.
Technology
- Thermo Formed Tongue – the tongue is shaped using heat for a perfect fit to the instep and shin
- 3D Heat Moldable Pro Liner – The heat moldable liner adapts to your foot for a perfect fit.
- Powerpop EVA Foam Insole – an exclusive insole made of different layers of PU bonded together to achieve a cushioned feel. It is made of high-quality and durable materials.
- New EVA midsole + rubber outsole – The EVA foam midsole promotes both lightness and durability. The grippy rubber outsole is extended back over the heel edge to support the boot's resistance to binding. The outsole is sewn to the heel for even better durability.
- Internal Ankle Harness – a system built into the lacing that provides additional fixation of the heel and comfortably prevents it from slipping in the boot
- Articulating Cuff – the design allows independent bending of the foot and ankle
- Flow Through H2O Drainage - specially designed channels for rapid water drainage, helping to keep the boots lightweight
- Single lacing – a simple and quick fastening system that makes it easy to put on and take off
How to choose a wakeboard binding
An integral part of buying a wakeboard is choosing bindings. You could almost say that choosing the right binding is crucial, as the way the binding fits you affects the whole ride and your feeling of it.
We therefore strongly recommend that you try the binding before purchasing. The correctly chosen binding must not limit or pull you anywhere, the foot must feel completely comfortable in it, but at the same time it must be strengthened for perfect cooperation with the board. If you are buying a binding only for yourself, look after a boot with a closed toe and your toes will be protected. If you share the binding with friends, try a boot with an open toe, which allows you to wear it on different sizes of feet. However, the toes should never protrude from the boot, so if there are more of you in the group, choose the size of the binding according to the size of the largest foot.
The System
The System binding is a Hyperlite brand domain. These are separate bindings and boots, as you know it from a snowboard. So you only detach yourself from the bindings and when you fall on the cable you go back to the start comfortably wearing boots, which is an advantage especially on a stony path, uncomfortable for bare feet.
Riders like Shaun Murray or Rusty Malinoski, who tested The System, praise it for its strength and support on the one hand and excellent comfort on the other. At the same time, they point to the excellent transfer of energy from the rider's body to the board, which results in precise and, most importantly, immediate mastery of tricks.
Closed toe binding
With this type of binding, the boot with the binding forms one unit, it is not two separate units as with The System binding, or on a snowboard. The boot with the binding is attached to the wakeboard firmly, so when you fall, you take off your boots completely.
Closed toe binding allows better transmission of forces, protects the toes and prevents movement of the foot in the binding. Buy a closed binding if you know that you will not lend it to friends and you want more protection for your feet.
Open toe binding
The boot with the binding again forms one unit, the difference is only in the open toe. Open toe bindings have the undeniable advantage that you can use it in a group of friends, where everyone has a different foot size. Thanks to the open toe, it is also easy to rinse out the sand that gets into the binding during putting 'em on, but the fingers are not so protected.
