Description This is the first time I've ever had my own snowboard boot. It is also the first time I've ever designed a boot. I've been snowboarding for a long time now, ten years, so I was sure I could accomplish...

Summary: The boots are totaly chill, yet I haven't found the use of the Ankle-brace inside the boot yet... I tried them once but all I could think of was: Man, these MDF'ers are tight (good thing you can remove em). The split-toe thingy in it's nose is excelent, feels real nice.
And of course they look fckin great!
Ow yeah, to improve the fitting (this is no joke) put the inner-shoe in an oven that's pre-heated at 100 Celcius for 5 minutes and then wear them for a couple of hours.
Strengths: Nice and warm 'n comfy. Great support for the entire foot. Looks fckin great.
Excelent fitting cuz of the oven-trick. Five layer-lip releaving any kind of pressure points while boarding.
Weaknesses: I still don't get the stupid ankle-brace thingy...
Bit stiff at the top, but I like that
If ya have to buy em at the original price they're pretty fcking expensive, but if you're serious about buying em get em at: http://www.cheapsnowboards.com/

Summary: These boots sucked for me. I couldn't get them tight enough to keep from sliding around, and if I really tightened up the laces they would totally cut off the circulation to my feet. They were great for the first two times I wore them, but then they just got worse and worse. The last time I wore them I had to stop and completely loosen them plus take out the liner to be able to get down the hill. I would definitely recommend another boot if you have wide feet. I ended up getting the 32 Prion model and love it. Much better boot at a better price.
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: Everything

Summary: These boots provide the perfect amount of support and still comfortable, once broke in they fit like a glove, you can't get a better boot.
