Lange Banshee Pro Ski Boot - Men's - 2008 BCS

This is the best boot I have ever used. Excellent stability with good comfort. I have wider feet and just had them molded some and now they fit perfect. The vibram soles are great on hikes where it can get sketch and you need to have some traction on rocks. The booster strap eliminates shin bang and provides a snug secure fit.

As to be expected from Lange - one hell of a boot. This is my third pair of Langes over the past 7 or so seasons and love this one even more than the previous two (120 Comp and 120 WC). Just like the others, this is a quick, responsive boot with tons of power that has a snug fit. It has a nice high cuff and progressive, but stiff flex that provides and transmits a load of power to the ski. The thick, elastic power strap is an sweet addition allowing the the boot to be really cinched down, almost better than a Booster strap which Ive had on my previous boots. Like the 120 WC, not the most fun to take on or off as they too have a hell of a bite, but it's a small price to pay for the performance. Lastly to top everything off, the boot has a nice clean, classic look. Nothing fancy or shiny like some of the other gimmicky/cheesy looking boots out there. Can't speak highly enough of these.

I love these boots - great flex and plenty stiff enough. I'm 6ft 200lbs,I am a borderline advanced/expert skiier, and ski around 35 days per year. To be honest I was concerned these might be too stiff, but I'm really pleased with my choice. Can certainly flex the boot fine, even on 15F days. Make my backcountry boots (Garmont Axom) seem puny in comparison. One disclosure, I bought mine from Surefoot with their customer liners - I have narrow feet and the fit is excellent.

I absolutely love this boot. I am 6'1" 205lbs and i get a great response from this boot. It is stiff and it kills it in the steeps and on anything from boilerplate ice to bottomless powder. the only problem i have had with this boot is stuff falling off. The canting adjustment fell of as well as the buckle, so make sure you tighten everything down before you go rip it up. Also when i was trying to get replacement parts from lange, i could not get in contact with them and had to buy parts from my boot fitter. overall great preforming boot.

I can't find any fault at all with this boot after half a season of heavy use. All the add-ons (vibram, toe box, gel pad) seem to really make a difference. No shin bang or mashed toes for me. The semi-booster strap is great, you can really crank them down with it. Once you get these dialed in the power and response is amazing. These boots love to charge hard on any surface. Don't be fooled if they seem flexy when they are warm, once the shell gets cold it stiffens up . I did get a surefoot footbed, but that's it. I love the lange liner, after maybe 10 days it felt great with no pressure points anywhere. I ended up going a whole size down from what I usually wear, so keep that in mind when ordering. Awesome big mountain boot.

ski 100+ days a year..
this boot is sick. some really great design aspects, and nice new features. i am 6 ft 170-180 and this boot crushes, havent skied a more stable or better performing boot ever. if you charge shit this is a sick boot fer ya. i skied tecnicas my whole life. i suffered awful shin pains in the tecnica boot (esp. the diablo line). this banshee pro totally outperforms. the high cuff eliminates shinbang, sick liner this year( with a new toe foam part that has eliminated any toe pain) oh yeah great to land on from an air. ....id say go with a totally custom insole though. night and day. people underestimate the differance. seriously in any boot you own, it is worth the 200 bucks for a custom footbed (see a reputable boot fitter)... totally worth the money...just get em dialed in, you wont regret it.
