The HO VENOM was a popular choice as a soft rear boot to pair with the top-selling Animal Boot Collection in the early 2000s. Its Soft Natural Rubber toe and heel, along with a Thin Natural Rubber overlay, create an optimized back boot for improved performance. The Low Drag Wrap Configuration and tucked away connection points minimize water resistance, making this rear slalom boot a sleek and efficient option for maintaining speed in the course. Still a very good choice to pair with an Animal front or the HO Hardshell.
