The Zeus caters to those who like to be locked down in a tall supportive boot. New for 2008 are features such as the 6 plate, a smaller profile baseplate, resulting in less weight on your feet and a much cleaner look. The Zeus LTD is an open-toe version of the closed-toe Zeus. Other features included are the articulated toe, dual lace system for maximum contact, molded lycra lined heels and toes, a single piece heel and the brand new switch hinge-- which now folds down against the rider's heel.
