Good well made boot that will last the season. If you do not go snowboarding more than 5-6 times a season i would not recommend this boot. It will take a bit to break in but all good boots do. Love the lace system with regular laces in the front and additional ankle support on demand with the side boa. good boot good deal.......

The BOA system works great. Hope they hold up for another few trips to the mountain.

This is my first pair of snowboard boots. I like them a lot. They aren't super fast but they are really comfortable and can make good adjustments. The BOA system is really nice. Feels like it keeps your ankle nice and snug. These boots are very warm also. They fit in my bindings very well, I use Burton Cartel bindings. All and all I am completely satisfied with my boots. However, being my first pair I don't have anything to compare them to. Definitely better than any rental boot I've used though.

The boa system holds your ankle in your boot great! Without compromising comfort! They are warm, comfortable, flexible, and overall great!

These boots are great, i was a little hesitant at first about buying them because of the color sceme but the quality and ease makes up for it 200 times over! i love the lacing system, traditional on the outside gives customization while the boa on the inside keeps your foot tight in the heel and allows you to adjust with easy once the boot is tied. Unfortunately i broke my wrist opening weekend so i haven't had much use but the times i used them, they were great!

Inner boa keeps you locked in, outer laces let you loosen for flexy feel, or tighten outer laces for super responsive stiffer boot! Best of both worlds, they will seem stiff at first but once broken in, they kill it!

As the topic says, these are a great pair of boots. I often suffer from heel lift, however by using these boots, i am able to lock down my heel tightly using the BOA lacing on the inner liner, while still having the adjustments of the outside lace. The flex of these boots i would say are medium. It is quite responsive when snowboarding, however still ok to walk in around town. THe internal BOA system allows me to loosen the boots very easily to walk around. The only down side i can foresee, is the BOA will cost more to repair than laces.

Awesome boots! I bought the black ones (teal is too extreme for my taste (: ).

My feet are essentially 1/2 size different and I also have semi-narrow feet. I was struggling to find boots that were tight in that area (sides of foot) and would comfortably fit both feet. I bought them one size smaller than my larger foot and once I got the lining formed, they fit perfect!

The boa is absolutely awesome. You can adjust the boot fit on the fly until you hit that sweet spot.

The only bad/annoying part of the boot is that the tongue velcro is pretty hardcore sticky so when you're trying to lace up, the laces get caught on the velco really easily and create all these little "pulls" on the laces. Not really a big deal, just annoying.
