Description The world's first pure freestyle step-in boot. A freestyle specific flex means progressive tricks, step-in means more pipe runs per hour, SI support means control to rise high above the lip. Not only ...
Review Abstract Snow boarders agree that these “all-condition boots” allow for “quick in and out,” “don’t clog” and feature “easy tie down.” One boarder says he “stood in snow full of water for an hour and didn't feel anything.” The Freestyles definitely provide warmth and comfort. Reviewers say that with a “solid connection to board,” they allow you to really “carve up powder” and achieve “lateral mobility for grabs.” Boarders rave about the ankle strap, which gives control and support. All reviewers agree that the “solid quality and craftsmanship” of the Freestyles make them a favorite.
Summary: A good boot, but watch out if you're at all bow-legged.
Strengths: These boots are relatively soft, but a reasonably responsive set-up, particularly for beginners. Just make sure they fit! Very warm. Very durable.
Weaknesses: If you are bow-legged, the overlap in the inner boot creates a pressure-point on the outer part of your calf. Look for a newer pair with the new burton matrix liner with a tongue if you have this problem.

Summary: These are really good boots for the price and work well with the Burton SI system. The only problem you'll have is if you don't like Burton stepins then you'll have to get new boots. Also make sure they fit tight in the store cause they do pack out. I should have gotten 10.5 rather then 11.
Strengths: This boot is comfortable and a decent preformer. The SI system is way better then i expected it to be and is great for the short runs of the midwest.
Weaknesses: The boot needed some arch support for me, which makes these boots work 100% better.

Summary: Very good so far the boot packs so buy it a little smaller than youre real foot size it should pack a little like .2 of a size. I like them very comftorable. The inside bladder comes out and has a great lacing system. The customer support is AWESOME!!!!
Strengths: Everything!!! So far no problems.
Weaknesses: I dont like the suede on it i thought it should just be the reg. boot material. So far no rips just under the straps the suedes got smooshed it doesnt look that nice without the strap on. Otherwise very nice.
