Salomon The Fatale Snowboard Boots - Women's 2012

Comments about Salomon The Fatale Snowboard Boots - Women's 2012:

Just received today so I haven't tried them out on the mountain yet. I was super happy that I bought my regular street shoe size 7.5 in these. I'd read that many people were buying a 1/2 size down from their street shoes. Fortunately when these arrived, they fit perfectly snug!

My toes were snug to the front (too tight IMO had they been street shoes but since they'll break in, they're perfect). When laced tightly I had no heel lift too!

I bought them after reading another review that said these felt great on her calves & shins. Since this is a problem area for me & my legs often feel strangled in snowboard boots, I found this to be a selling feature. The velcro strap came up to right underneath my calf! Couldn't give 5 stars since while laces & velcro are easy enough, I have to pull like crazy in order to get a nice tight fit! And the velcro strap doesn't come all the way across to cover all the velcro teeth (even without being on, note the picture). So it just seems like they should've made a longer strap or reduced the amount of velcro teeth showing.

I fell in love with the look of these boots, and after trying on 3-4 other pairs, I felt these fit the best. They run true to size, but are apparently pretty wide, because I couldn't get my bindings (Burton Stiletto) to lock in when I rode last night. Super frustrating. My Rome bindings were barely wide enought to fit the boot, but luckily worked well enough to not ruin my night of boarding. Just be sure to try them in your bindings before you wear them out.
