For 2020, HO has enhanced the performance of their top-selling waterski boot, the Animal. The upgraded Animal now boasts a 100% natural rubber overlay, molded specifically to the original Animal shape. This results in a more snug and comfortable fit than ever before. The front of the boot features a thick rubber overlay for improved control, while the back has a thinner overlay to complement front hardshell boots. Additionally, the softer durometer and heat-moldable EVA tongue and heel offer the desired rubber boot feel with less weight. The new, softer brushed EVA footbed further enhances comfort and equalizes the height of skiers' front and rear feet when using hardshell boots.
