Great Boot I have taken these boots out a 3 times now and am very happy with how fast they are to get on and I hiked 1800 vertical feet in them and my feet felt great at the end of the day!! A great overall boot

Great looking boot with so performance so far.... Boot looks dope. Totally rasta. Felt really snug to begin with, moreso than most Burton's, I was really worried about it being too small! Spoke to a young punk at REI, he suggested 'happy feet'. Great purchase, 'happy feet' insoles elevate your arches, just a little bit more. Pulled the toes back enough (a few millimeters) to allow break-in with thin socks. Boots 'paked in' fine and now they feel great, even with slightly thicker socks (ie. Thorlo Extreme Boarding sock - great sock BTW). Feet don't get tired or sore either. Happy Feet Insoles are a solid addition to a great boot. Now... about the boot. 1) a little worried about the new lace system. Sure it is easy and quick, but will it last? Sometimes it feels like I am going to pull it out or snap a cord when tightening down on the boot. I spoke to quite a few people about the boot when I researched it prior to purchase. I only learned of one instance where the lace system broke and it was quickly replaced/fixed by Burton. I do like the idea, but feel like the BOA system (DC/Vans boots) may be a little more robust with it's steel braid. 2) minimal ankle twist side to side - good, but could be a little firmer. I would say this is simply a matter of taste. I like my boots tighter. 3) They are STIFF. Especially the uppers. I feel like this allows me to ride a little more aggressively. Not as comfortable walking around and goofing off - but then again, what is the real purpose of these boots? 4) Stiff sides makes it harder to get in and out. Be patient. Refer to end of point 3. I think this will break in more in time. 5) Probably fit best in a BURTON binding. I have RIDE bindings and the boot fits okay, but it is snug on the sides, real snug. Coupled with a Burton Baron board - these boots have very little overhang - a problem for big footed riders like myself and the stiff uppers seems to work well with the flex and kick in the Baron board. Love that board.... All in all. So far, so good. Will let you know if I have any problems. Color has leeched out onto the tongue in one little area. Once again though, these boots are made to ride. Scuffs and stains only add character. 4 out of 5 stars.

clumbsy I thought they would be good until i was trying to put them on and the strings got stuck in my zipper causing me to fall and look very silly. My boyfriend was laughing at me for days to come
