The Krypton shell embodies the best attributes of the 3-piece, cabrio design. One of the Krypton’s dominant traits is evident from the instant you lock in: the wrap around the steering column of the lower leg and ankle is ironclad, ready to respond at the first twitch of lateral energy.
While boots with a ribbed external tongue are known for their long flex range, the 98mm Kryptons are no pushovers, but stout 130 and 120 flexes that retain terrific foot-to-shell connection throughout the mobile forward travel. The way the cuff moves in tandem with the tongue enhances the sensation of ever-present rear support. All this adds up to boots that beg to motor through battered terrain, be it wind-slab, stutter-step moguls or day-old chunder.
