As one of the most iconic snowboard boots on the market, the Hi-Standard OG has earned itself an enviable reputation as one of the best freestyle-focused all-terrain boots available. Aimed at riders looking for a more playful skate-inspired ride, this team-inspired classic offers the perfect balance of performance and value. Utilising a traditional lace-up closure and Vans's iconic Vulcanised Snow Waffle sole unit, the High Standard classic style belies its advanced construction. However, look a bit closer, and you'll see a thoroughly modern feature-packed snowboard boot at the top of its game. For 21/22, the High Standard carries its Kennedi Deck colourway across both Men's and Women's sizes, creating the first none gendered snowboard boot.

Hi-Standard Specification:
Traditional Lace Closure
Although it's old and slow compared to most modern closure systems, traditional lace closure is still the system to beat. Giving you complete control of the boot tension, it's still the preferred closure system for freestyle snowboarders.
Instep Lace Lockout
This innovative design allows you to lock out the lace tension independently between the upper and lower halves of the boot. This will enable you to get the perfect tension for whatever type of terrain you want to hit up.
V1 UltraCush™ Liner
The Ultracush is Van's classic heat-mouldable liner. Its combination of dual-density foam, neoprene toe box and the brushed fleece cuff not only provide the perfect freestyle support, but they also deliver a liner that gives outd=standing levels of fit and comfort.
V1 Harness
The V1 Harness is the lightest harness in the Vans range. Designed to work specifically with the V1 Liner, it is designed to ensure effective support and heel lockdown.
Instep Flex Zone
The Instep Flex Zone functions to maintain natural ankle flexion in your boot, whether in or out of your bindings.
Pleasurecuff
The supple elasticity of the PleasureCuff delivers a cushioned, comfortable fit that keeps your calves supported.
V1 Waffle Lug Outsole
The Original Vans Waffle Outsole is an iconic skate classic. The all-new V1 Waffle Lug pays tribute to the Vulcanised Rubber look that put Vans on the map. The aggressive waffle pattern gives excellent performance in any terrain whilst the unique recipe rubber compound gives outstanding traction in any conditions.
V1 PopCush™ Footbed
Single-density PopCush™ construction / Advanced 3D-molded anatomical shape / Anti Fatigue Coring design/ Airflow perforations / Nylex moisture-wicking top sheet.
Heat Retention 360
All Vans snowboard boots feature a newly improved thermal retention layer that provides a 360° wrap of the toe box and between the outsole and the liner. This essential layer keeps heat in and cold out, ensuring all-day warmth and comfort.
