Vans Hi-Country™
The Hi-Country & Hell-Bound is optimized to take your street or backcountry shred game to the next level. Boasting key performance features like a V3 POPCUSH footbed, custom flex tuning, and a V3 SuperEnduro Waffle outsole paired with unmatched moisture management, this all-terrain boot will not only take you where you want to go, but it'll give you the tools to show up in style. It is normal for V-Series liners to fit snug right out of the box. After several hours of use, the dual-density, heat-moldable core of the liner will begin to shape to your foot, creating unparalleled comfort and a uniquely perfect fit. We recommend that you purchase your regular size.

Flex and Response
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.
V3 HARNESS - This advanced support harness delivers our highest level of support to the ankle and instep, keeping the V3 liner and boot shell locked in and connected.
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.
