DC Allegiance Snowboard Boot - Men's - 2007 BCS

These boots are the BOMB! nuff said

Just a wonderful boot - DC got everything right with this one. The dual zone BOA means that you don't get a squeeze on the top of your foot when you lean forward from the BOA laces. The alpha liner keeps your heel glued to the bottom of the boot. And unlike Extol33, I have wide feet, and the boot still fits perfectly - I even have some toe room to wiggle, but no loss of control from it. BTW, the 2008 model doesn't have the air pump on the alpha liner - it has a sleeve attached to the shell that wraps around the liner, which is tightened up. This sleeve glues my heel to the boot. Let me make that clear - there is NO HEEL LIFT. Just put in a customized footbed, and you have the ultimate softboots. Oh, the other little mod that I did was I shortened the length of the cord to tighten the liner up - I don't need 2.5 feet coming out of my boot.
My last boots were DC Patrols, and while those were good, the Allegiances are light years better. And while the Patrols ran small, so I needed a 9, the Allegiances seem more true to size; I have a little more room available in the 8.5, and it's a better fit. I'll ride them until they fall apart, and then buy another pair.

I love these boots, BOA system is very simple and very quick, highly advised. Boot itself is very stiff (stiffest from DC line) and responsive. Very comfortable and warm. Will fully satisfy the needs.

Very stiff. after about 2 month of weekends riding had to use 2 pair of socks as they got stretched out... not good. Also the BOA system has to be adjusted after almost each run as it got loose..

I bought these boots and never had a chance to use them until my yearly pilgrimage to the Chugach near Valdez, AK. I was a little apprehensive about testing out new boots on the steeps of an Alaskan slope but had no choice. I wear a 10 1/2 shoe and was told to buy the same size in these boots as my normal street shoe size. All other boots I've ever owned were 1/2 size below my street shoes. Anyway these boots felt great on and after riding for 5 days they hadn't really hurt. Usually after 5 days in all my other boots, I would have been crippled. The BOA system is the only way to go and loosening them up at lunch probably helps in feeling no pain. If you're looking at new boots, I'd reccommend these to all.....

I only rode these boots for one day so I can't give much of a review. However, I can definitely say that if you have a narrow foot do not buy these boots. My ankle was swimming in these and I had them cranked down on my foot as tight as I could get. They felt good at home, but once I got on the mountain and made some turns it was terrible.

I have used two other boots in the past. My first were K2 clickers that were fine for a beginner and my second which were Ride IO lace up boots. The Ride IO's were a good boot except for constantly getting loose. Once I bought these boots that was a thing of the past. I tightened up these boots with the BOA's and off I went. The fit was exceptional and I felt if I had slippers on. They were that comfortable. No chaffing or painful spots. I highly recommend them.

Old boots were a pair of Vans lace up. Not a bad boot but I was getting ankle pain from the beginning. I thought I would deal with it but it got to the point of severe bruising after two or three days of riding. I saw the add for the Alpha liner and thought I would give it a shot. I have never been more pleased. No more heel lift and the ankle pain and bruising is gone. Memory foam with the Jbars form pockets for the ankle and the BOA system is excellent. I love being able to independantly adjust the upper from the lower and do so on the fly. Excellent product and worth the money.

Ridden these boots 20 days in the last month. so far, so good... Love the ease and convenience of the BOA focus system. The toe box still remains snug. I have experienced some heel lift already, but i do have skinny feet. Overall i am pleased. WORD

Stiff in all the wrong places and completely uncomfortable. Not what I would expect for $300+ boot. Some really nice tech features, but not worth the cash in my opinion.
