VANS Verse Range Edition X Blake Paul Snowboard Boot Forest/Black 2025

This upgraded version of the Verse is intended to be a functional and reliable addition to your backcountry toolkit. Designed to support overland adventures and uphill travel, the Verse Range Edition’s Adaptive Range Mode features a Rear Drop-Cuff that can be unlocked to widen the top opening of the boot for a significantly expanded range of motion. Skinning a switchback, punching up for quick pow scores, ripping the snowmobile deep into the hills, or just going for a good old-fashioned hike—the Verse Range Edition gets you there with less effort and more protection.

RESPONSE: 6-9/10

LACING:BOA® FIT SYSTEM FEATURING VANS® CUSTOM FOCUS PLUS WITH SLIDE GUIDE – Custom Focus Plus features two high-power (H4) dials that control three zones of fit linked by Vans’ exclusive Custom Slide Guide, delivering concentrated fit around the instep area for superior heel hold.

LINER:V3 RANGE EDITION ULTRACUSH™ WITH THE NORTH FACE FLASHDRY™ LINER – This liner offers all the same great features as its V3 counterpart, but adds the extended and lower-reaching PleasureCuff™. When combined with the Adaptive Range Mode, expect an unmatched range of motion when hiking or skinning.

FOOTBED:V3 POPCUSH™ FOOTBED – From the tri-density POPCUSH™ construction to the OrthoLite® open-cell foam top layer, the V3 footbed provides unmatched comfort and performance.

OUTSOLE:V3 WAFFLE SUPERENDURO OUTSOLE WITH ALL-TRAC COLD WEATHER RUBBER COMPOUND - Inspired by the extended cross-country and off-road demands of moto enduro racing, the V3 SuperEnduro outsole is designed to offer maximum performance in and out of your bindings. With a multi-directional tread design, surface-level texturing, a molded TPU toe pick, and an expanded impact absorption zone, there’s no keeping up with this all-terrain apex predator.

EXTRAS:

• TERRAIN: BACKCOUNTRY AND ALL-MOUNTAIN – This boot has been optimized for versatility, from parks and rails to steep, deep, untouched terrain.
• ADAPTIVE RANGE MODE – The functional objective of Adaptive Range Mode is to widen the opening of the snowboard boot to allow for a more natural gait and extended range of motion on overland adventures or commuting uphill travel. Disengaging the Ride Mode strap opens the Rear Drop-Cuff and two-way stretch gore, providing significantly more calf articulation. This allows for longer strides and less wasted energy.
• 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. It also features a metal D-ring for securely fastening your pant gaiters to lock out snow.
• VANS FLEX CONTROL SYSTEM - Our removable, high-rebound Hytrel® tongue stiffeners enable riders to custom-tune their boot flex. Keep both in for maximum support, use just one for increased lateral or medial response, or take them both out for a softer-flexing boot. As your boots soften up over time, add the tongue stiffeners back in to extend the life of your boots.
• EXOCAP MOLDED TOE PROTECTION – A molded plastic toe cap provides maximum protection and extra space in the toe box to keep your toes wiggling and warm.
• WATERPROOF, BREATHABLE VALVES - These waterproof valves allow one-way moisture management by transporting moisture away from your foot, ensuring breathability and thermal regulation for dry, comfortable feet.
• INSTEP FLEX ZONE – The Instep Flex Zone functions to maintain natural ankle flexion in your boot, whether in or out of your bindings.
• POWERCUFF STRAP – Power is the operative word. It provides extra support at the top of the boot for increased stability and response, giving riders customizable levels of engagement.
• MATERIALS – Leather, textile, and synthetic uppers
• SKILL LEVEL – Advanced
