Favorite place to ride:
Okemo or Mount Snow

Riding Style:
All Mountain/Freeride

Product Year:
2001

Summary:
Ok boots. Very soft and comfy. Feels like you're wearing sneakers.

No inner liner though. As a result, you have to keep adjusting boot tightness after a couple of runs, or suffer heel lift. No sort of lace locks to keep laces tight.

Back of boot isn't stiff at all. May be good for jibbers and tweakers, but is not good for hard carvers(like me). I nearly sprained my ankle in these because it wasn't stiff enough.

Insole sucks. I replaced mine with green Superfeet.

Boot packed out and became mushy and unsupportive after about 20 uses. Good beginner boot, but i'd recommend spending a bit more and getting a quality boot that is more supportive and lasts longer.

Strengths:
Very comfortable. Colors are ok. Light in weight. Fairly cheap. Low profile boot - height and width wise, so should be able to fit into most bindings.

Weaknesses:
No inner liner. Hard to keep laced tightly. No lace locks. Insole sucks. Back of boot isn't stiff at all. Boot became way too soft after only 20 uses. May be a bit small for size L Burton bindings (a lot of room on the sides).
