For riders who like the feel and adjustability of traditional laces but want additional control over heel hold, this boot is built around a balanced, modern take on a classic system. Sitting at a 6/10 flex, the DC Premier Hybrid is aimed at all-mountain riders looking for a supportive, versatile boot that feels natural underfoot while offering a more dialled-in connection when riding faster or loading the board with intent.
The Premier Hybrid uses a lace outer to control overall shell tension, paired with DC’s internal SUPERLOCK heel harness that is adjusted independently via a remote BOA dial. This separation allows the boot to maintain consistent heel hold without needing to overtighten the shell, preserving a more natural forward flex. On snow, the result is a controlled, connected feel through the heel and ankle, while the rest of the boot remains smooth and progressive rather than rigid or locked-in.

About The Brand
DC Shoes was founded in 1994 in California by Ken Block and Damon Way with a clear focus on technical footwear built for action sports. The brand quickly became one of the most influential names in skateboarding before expanding into snowboarding in the late 1990s, bringing the same emphasis on durability, performance, and rider-driven design into winter footwear and outerwear.
In snowboarding, DC is known for building boots and apparel that prioritise function, longevity, and real-world riding over trend-driven design. With decades of experience across skate and snow, DC products are developed with a strong understanding of board feel, impact protection, and all-day wear, making them a trusted choice for riders looking for dependable gear built to handle full resort days and demanding conditions.
