Watsons boot is back in 2008, lighter, stronger, and more comfortable than ever. While several major changes including our new Response plate system were incorporated into the 08 design, the same comfort fit you expect from a Watson boot remains constant. No other high end boot offers the entire foot comfort, as well as board to boot response as Watsons. While his boot may be as easy as an entry level boot to slide into, the performance is unmatched!
