For 2020, HO has given the best-selling waterski boot of all time, the Animal, upgrades to improve on its performance and functionality. The Animal boot now features a 100% natural rubber overlay, molded to the original Animal overlay shape. This results in a snugger, more comfortable fit than ever before. The front Animal boot is designed with a thick rubber overlay for increased front boot control, while the rear Animal boot is designed with thin rubber overlay for less back boot control to compliment front hardshell boots. Now with a softer durometer and a heat-moldable EVA tongue and heel, you'll have the rubber boot feel you want with far less overall weight. In addition, the new softer and thinner brushed EVA footbed increases comfort and is designed to equalize skiers' front and rear foot height when using hardshell boots.
