- Custom Slide Guide – Anatomical design that allows riders to adjust heel hold along the instep for extra security.
- V2 Harness – Internal harness delivers enhanced ankle and heel support when paired with the liner.
Liner
- V2 UltraCush™ Liner – Dual-density, heat-moldable liner with a neoprene toe box for flex and a brushed fleece cuff for comfort.
- X-Cage – Provides extra heel hold and structure for confident response.
Outsole

Sizing Advice
- Fit Intent – Vans Invado Pro fits true to size; choose the size your foot measures on a Brannock device or shoe chart.
- Snug at First – Expect a firm fit out of the box; the V2 UltraCush™ liner is heat-moldable and will break in after a few sessions.
- Standard Fit – Suits most foot shapes, with lockdown tunable through the Hybrid BOA® system, traditional laces, and internal V2 harness.
- Do Not Size Up – Extra room leads to heel lift and less response, reducing the boot’s freestyle control and all-mountain performance.
