While the taller side panels aren't visually noticeable, they significantly reduce lace bite for players with high arches and create the depth needed for wider, taller feet. The Wide Plus goes even further, adding the same width as a standard Wide (5mm more than Regular) while also increasing overall volume, making it one of the best options for players with high-insteps, high-arches, and wide feet who have struggled to find a proper fit.
The boot itself is a very traditional two-piece construction with tbe heatmoldable microfiber construction. This is paired with an oversized tendon guard designed for maximum support.
On the inside, players score an anti-slip suede microfiber liner, molded arch support and multi-density ankle pads for ultimate comfort.
Please note the skates will come with either the Ultra 5000 or Cobra 5500 holder. The construction of the two are the same and it's only a graphics difference.
