BOOTFITTER'S NOTES When Union announced they were building snowboard boots last year, expectations were sky high. Then the Reset Pro arrived and somehow exceeded them. It would have been easy for Union to take an existing design, put their logo on it, and call it a day. Instead, they started from scratch. They built an entirely new factory in Italy, developed their own construction methods, and spent years refining every detail before releasing a single boot. The result is one of the most impressive first-generation products we've seen in snowboarding. The first thing you'll notice is the fit. It's exceptionally well shaped, wrapping the foot with the kind of precision that's surprisingly rare in snowboard boots. In our opinion, it's right there with some of the most anatomically correct ski boots on the market that have undergone decades of iterations with the best boot tech assisting. Your heel feels naturally supported, pressure is distributed evenly throughout the boot, and everything comes together with even compression throughout. Just as impressive is the craftsmanship. The premium materials, hand-finished details, and overall construction give the Reset Pro a level of refinement that's obvious the moment you pick it up. Nothing feels rushed or overbuilt. Every piece appears to have been carefully considered, resulting in a boot that feels every bit as premium as its price suggests. On snow, that precision translates into excellent support without becoming unnecessarily harsh. The Single Frame Shell, Dual Zone BOA system, and Vibram outsole work together to create a boot that's equally comfortable laying over hard carves, navigating technical terrain, or riding aggressively from first chair until the lifts stop spinning. The Single Frame Shell is a unique design that allows Union to adjust flex profile based on size. What does that mean? Basically every size flexes the same, as opposed to traditional boot flex characteristics where a size 12 likely folds over easier that a more compact size 8. Now entering its second season, the Reset Pro sits at the top of Union's expanded boot lineup, and it still represents everything that made the project so exciting from day one. Union didn't just enter the snowboard boot market. They raised the standard for what riders should expect from a premium snowboard boot.
