W's Rift Boot 2025

Product Description

Rugged All-Mountain Comfort

Inspired by the technical demands of polar and mountain expeditions, the Kita W is crammed with features to deliver reliable performance from first lift til’ last. Comfort is key, starting with a premium Gold Wrap Liner and an asymmetrical shape that perfectly matches our bindings for a natural connection to your board. Dual-Dial BOA® laces, a unique seamless build and Armor-Tech toe protection complete a heavy-hitting women's boot that slays every terrain.

Features

• The Kita W features fewer stitched panels and a tough TPU shield called Armor-Tech to keep moisture out and protect your toes while you’re billy-goating in the rocks.
• The Dual-Dial BOA® Fit System includes a specially-developed External Heel Lock – controlled via the tongue dial – to keep your foot firmly in place, while the lower part of the boot can be tightened using the side dial.
• Our Transition Zone tech seamlessly connects the Kita's sole to the Exo Spine, accelerating response and preventing damage to the back of the boot when entering or exiting the binding.

Flex Stiff

Tech Details

Closure: Dual-Dial BOA Dual-Dial BOA® lets you tighten your boots quickly and easily via two dials. The upper and lower foot can be adjusted independently for a custom fit, and to prioritise maximum power transfer or looser, surfier turns.

BOA Fit System: H4 Coiler Ready for anything, designed to withstand. The bombproof BOA® H4 Coiler is built for the most demanding riders and resists impacts from park to pow. Its efficient mechanism rapidly takes up lace slack, increasing speed of entry.

Heel Lock: External Heel Lock Our External Heel Lock works in tandem with the BOA® dial on the tongue, tightening built-in wings on either side of the ankle to eliminate heel lift.

Outsole: Vibram Approach Our top-of-the-line outsole boasts a full EVA midsole for supreme comfort under the whole foot and an OC-Kush insert for extra dampening beneath the heel. The Vibram ICE-TREK tread is made from a rubber compound especially developed for cold and snowy surfaces and provides unrivalled grip.

Liner: Gold Level The Gold liner's asymmetrical construction wraps over the foot seamlessly to eliminate pressure points and improve flex control. There's useful wriggle room around the toes thanks to a Custom Flex Zone, while 8mm of PE foam and additional PU support on the outside provide extra stiffness. Heat-molding tech delivers a perfect fit in minutes.

Liner Closure: Shell Harness Pull the inner laces to tighten a shell-mounted harness. Velcro secures the tongue.

Insole: 3D Triple Density Our most advanced 3D insole is designed to perfectly cradle your foot. It's constructed from three densities of EVA, with firmer material supporting the heel cup and arch and a special high-rebound layer at the heel. A fleece-lined footbed with silicone top-print keeps you warm and secure.

Extras

ArmorTech This bombproof TPU strip wraps around the front of the boot to shield it from abrasion and protect your toes when you're kicking in steps. It also prevents the boot from packing out too much, prolonging its life.

Exo-Spine An external backstay that supports the whole boot and transfers energy instantly from heel to toe. It connects seamlessly to the outsole via our Transition Zone, so you won't hook up on the binding's heelcup when you enter or exit your binding

Space Blanket A thermal insulation barrier between the outsole and the bottom of the liner keeps the warmth inside and the cold outside.

3D Molded Tongue Our asymmetric 3D Molded Tongue is curved more sharply towards the medial side to match the natural ridgeline of your forefoot. This alleviates pressure points and provides a more balanced feeling of comfort and support versus a standard straight tongue.

3D Molded Toe Box Our 3D Toebox eliminates extra layers and seams around the forefoot, improving water resistance and durablility. The streamlined design also makes it easier to slide your boot in and out of the binding.

ASYM 3F A unique asymmetric boot design co-developed with BOA® that generates optimal support and flex. The asym tongue features lace guides positioned on the flatter forefoot areas for more even closure and less point-loaded pressure. Increased medial arch support reduces foot fatigue and cramps.

OC-KUSH Shock-absorbing dynamic gel pads are inserted into the outsole around the heel area. This extra cushioning helps you soak up heavy landings and reduces fatigue from bumpy snow. It also makes your boots super comfy to walk around in.
