So this last year saw some pretty awesome improvements to the DC Boot lineup. All of the boots got a makeover and were slimmed down, made more comfortable, and were based around 1:1 last to liner ratios improving the fit. The three main boots that you saw this in were the Judge, the Park Boot, and the introduction of a new boot called the Ceptor.

 The Judge has been an industry standard for years being one of the first double Boa boots to fit and give proper adjustment where you need it.

The Park Boot has also been around for years, but it really wasn't until this year that it got a complete make-over. The biggest thing with the Park Boot is the use of a new liner that drastically improves the amount of mobility you have while in the boot.

The liner was cut down to the size of a small bootie that looks like a low top shoe. This liner is pretty different and follows a trend with some others in the industry to give to rider a looser feel when in the park or just cruising around the mountain.

The Ceptor on the other hand gives the rider a much stiffer feel and is the perfect boot for all mountain park riding. Where as the Judge may be too stiff for some and the Park Boot can be too soft, the Ceptor is just right. This boot does everything really well, and it has a great flex point. The best part about the Ceptor though is the amount of comfort it has. The new Unilite Outsole, Outlast Liner, and the introduction of a new liner and boot combo that actually breaths out through the two layers in a technology called AeroTech.
