New for 2009, the STATUS takes over as the new top of the line DC boot. DC combined performance lacing, upper, midsole, and outsole features to create a boot that’s suitable for any spot on the mountain- it’s not only supportive and customizable, but also offers the pinnacle in board feel and response.

The STATUS features the BOA FOCUS SYSTEM, a technology with two zones, the upper and lower portions, for tightening allowing for the ultimate in customized fit. The DOUBLE LASTED MIDSOLE on the STATUS allows for a simple, ultra-clean look while still putting your foot closer to the board. The result: a lower profile and more board feel. The STATUS also features DC's new supportive EXO AIR SKELETON. The system provides additional structure and support to the heel area of the boot, protecting against those high impact, big landings.

DC designers have gone on to integrate the RECCO AVALANCHE RESCUE SYSTEM as a safeguard in case things go wrong on the mountain. To protect against the winter elements, the STATUS features OUTLAST to regulate temperature, both hot and cold; SYNTHETIC LEATHER for water resistance; and a new INJECTED TPR TOE CAP, also increasing durability. Finally, as you’d expect from DC, comfort has been kept top of mind. We’ve included a redesigned 3-D TONGUE, a FOAM LINED CALF PAD, an ADJUSTABLE INTERNAL ANKLE BRACE, and DC’s ALPHA liner for support, response, and all-around comfort.
