The Invado is a new addition to the Vans collection for 20/21 and is aimed at riders who are looking for a freestyle focussed boot that delivers exceptional performance at a great price. Packed to the gunnels with advanced design and technology, the Invado delivers the perfect balance of rider-friendly flex and next-level board control and feel. Key to its class-leading performance and versatility is its combination of traditional lace and Boa closure. The classic lace closure allows you to get a perfect tension no matter what or where you ride, lace it loose for the park, lace it tight for the mountain. However, no matter how you choose to ride the Invado, you’re never going to sacrifice heel hold and response. Thanks to the side-mounted Boa, the heel is locked down completely independent of how you lace your boots, giving you the freedom to tune your flex without ever sacrificing performance.
Fit Profile:
A well balanced overall fit that’s works with most foot shapes. Mid-Width in both the forefoot and the heel ensures that you get a supportive fit with good heel hold. The Ultracush Liner gives a snug fit but doesn’t feel over tight.
