In the realm of backcountry exploration, pushing boundaries requires innovative boot development. Embracing this philosophy, we collaborated with Xavier de Le Rue to revolutionize his signature model, resulting in a groundbreaking achievement. The XV is now built around a new hiking last, boasting a smaller footprint, lighter construction, and a neutral profile optimized for skinning, hiking, and riding. The brand-new Backcountry liner ensures a personalized fit, featuring a flexible toe box that delivers precision with a forgiving touch.

Enhancing both comfort and performance, two BOA® dials enable independent adjustments to the upper and lower zones of the boot. This zonal fit locks the ankle and forefoot securely while allowing leg movement within the boot during ascents. Amplifying control and response for riding and hiking, the XV incorporates a stiffer lasting board that enhances torsional and lateral stability. Unrivaled traction is assured with the Vibram Eastridge sole, while the XV's durability is fortified with TPU welding throughout the shell, a protective rubber rand at the front, and an innovative waterproof and breathable membrane. This membrane utilizes a sock-like design, cradling the foot and doubling as a gaiter by closing at the shin. Embrace the future of backcountry exploration with DEELUXE's XV and never look back.
