The Head Kore 1 is an all-in-one solution for lightweight freeriding. Aligning with the trend of all-mountain/backcountry-capable boots, this one comes with a 45-degree range of motion, pin-tech inserts and GripWalk soles. The shell of the Head Kore 1 is constructed of Graphene—a rigid material that Head utilizes across multiple product lines—to provide ample rebound without adding weight. But, what really sets this boot apart, is the Head’s Liquid Fit. This is a process in which a paraffin wax-like material is injected into pockets inside the liner on both the medial and lateral sides of the boot (in English, that’s “inner and outer”) to fill gaps and provide the snuggest fit possible. This material never fully hardens so every time you put the boot on you get a completely fresh, customized fit around your heel and ankle.
