The Alpha continues to lead the way for fashionable comfort and support. There is no comparison at this level to the binding that started the sewn overlay craze. Integrated stretch zones mold to your foot and hold with confidence. This year we added some increased support and made some improvements to the LF exclusive comfort Gusset, making the Alpha easier than ever to slide your foot into. The Alpha continues to have the support and performance a pro level rider needs with the value the rest of us are looking for. div>
