Vans Encore Pro Womens Snowboard Boot in Black Marshmallow 2026

All-Mountain Precision Meets Dialed Dual-Zone BOA® Convenience.

The 2026 Vans Women's Encore Pro in Black / Marshmallow delivers timeless skate aesthetic paired with advanced, performance-driven boot technology. Engineered for intermediate to expert riders who demand customizable zonal tension, total heel retention, and reliable medium flex, the Encore Pro utilizes a Dual-Zone BOA® Fit System equipped with Vans' proprietary Custom Slide Guide. Designed specifically around women's foot and calf geometry, this boot transitions seamlessly from carving high-speed groomers to seeking out powder stashes and charging the park.

Milosport Shop Take

"The Black / Marshmallow colorway of the 2026 Women's Encore Pro is the definition of iconic—giving you that timeless Vans sidestripe look in a high-tech package.

Hitting the sweet spot with a 5–6/10 medium-responsive flex, the Encore Pro gives you the structural support needed to hold a sharp edge down steep Utah corduroy while remaining agile enough for park laps and tree runs. The real magic is in the Dual-Zone BOA® setup—one dial tunes upper cuff tension while the other controls lower shell tightness, routed through the Custom Slide Guide across your instep. It completely locks down your heel without having to over-crank the top of the boot. Lined with thermal-regulating Smartwool® merino wool, your feet stay warm, dry, and comfortable from first chair to last call."
