Lower Buckle Closure System 1 Vanguard

Finally, a buckle that actually stays cinched over my instep instead of slipping loose after a few runs. The metal prong feels solid and the adjustability is just right for getting that snug fit.

The metal prong clicks into place with a satisfying snap, and the buckle feels much sturdier than the original one that broke. I’ve put in a few days of hard skiing since replacing it, and the closure over my instep hasn’t budged once.

I was worried the fit might be off, but this buckle clicked right into place on my boot’s top strap. The metal lever feels sturdy and locks tight without any play.
