The best splitboarding boots are Jekyll and Hyde affairs, with one boot exhibiting two completely different personalities. On the one hand, you need the power to drop huge lines in big mountain terrain. On the other hand, you need the flexibility to comfortably skin your splitboard into the backcountry and the capability to toss on a pair of crampons when the terrain gets really hairy. 

thirtytwo's Jones MTB BOA knows how to charge in the gnarliest terrain, that's for sure. With the stiffest flex in thirtytwo's fleet, this boot feels powerful enough to drive your deck through the most demanding terrain you could hope to encounter. With a super-flexible Walk Mode Collar, however, you'll enjoy a natural stride on the uphills. The lightweight and aggressive Vibram outsole boasts a heel welt, as well, accepting semi-automatic crampons when the steeps demand the skins come off. Finally, transitioning between walk and ride mode has never been easier with thirtytwo's redesigned dual BOA layout. 

Add to all this an injection-molded liner with high rebound energy foam with excellent support and durability -- heat-moldable for a custom fit -- and you've got a splitboarding boot for the burliest terrain the mountains can throw at you.
