DC Judge Snowboard Boot - Men's
The verdict is in—you're sentenced to a season of comfortable freeride snowboarding in the DC Men's Judge Snowboard Boot. This free-riding favorite features improved BOA lacing points to distribute pressure evenly and allow you to literally dial in your lacing with the simple twist of a knob. DC gave this stiff boot a pump-up air liner that inflates and deflates for customized support—just press the + and - buttons. Want to go huge off that backcountry booter without the landing sting? Consider this shock-absorbing evidence—the Judge features a full-length airbag and a toe gel pad to disperse impact. The extra-grippy sole offers great board feel that lets you get away with murder on the slopes.
Bottom Line: Lay down the law in the DC Judge Snowboard Boot.

I have a pair 32 focus BOA and I want to put the liner out of a pair of DC Judge Boots will that work. I can't find a focus boa with the pump liner. I read the DC Allegiance had a pump liner last year, but not this year and I need a stiff boot for a bad ankle.

I was SO EXCITED to get these boots in the mail but when I got'em I realized MY feet really wasn't made for these boots... the boots were EXTREMELY WELL made, VERY COMF, but it just wasn't made for my feet. (I have really narrow feet with high arch's, even with the boot fully tightened, pumped; it still didn't fit right...) to me, boots are the MOST important piece of the snowboarding puzzle.(I've been ridin' since 1987 so I know what I'm doin' out there.) so the hunt for the "perfet boots continues...
p.s.: this site is one OF THE BEST gear sites out there!!! I just wished I didn't have to pay for the return shipping charges...

I got the boots in an 11 1/2, I am a 10 1/2 shoe. Fits perfectly. First set I got had an issue with the pump up liner, it just didn't work. I spoke to a customer rep and informed them that I was leaving for BC in 3 days. They next day aired me a replacement and gave me a return label too! Best service ever, I only buy my gear from this site! Please note that you should go 1 size up from your regular shoe size. These boots are awesome and way more comfortable then my old thirty-two tm2's. This site has by far the best customer service I have ever experienced in my 25 years of life.
Thank you!

Sick boots! Light, comfortable, crazy adjustable. I wear a 10.5 in regular kicks so I bought these boots in a 10.5. A little snug at first but they packed out nice within 2 sessions and fit perfect like a regular shoe. Heel lift is a thing of the past with the pump system. These boots are also super grippy when hoofin' through the ice and slush. DC did it right with these boots. You can't go wrong with the Judge, and you can't go worng with this site. My gear from herealways ships super fast and the customer service is the best I've ever dealt with! BUY THESE BOOTS! SHOP HERE!

I just rode in my new DC Judge boots a week ago and, while they weren't totally broken in yet, I have to say they were incredibly comfortable. These boots tend to be a little stiff, but they remain comfortable.
I had trouble with the first pair I received as the pump on one of the boots didn't seem to work. I exchanged the boots for another pair and while I was at it, I bumped up a size. I normally wear a 12 but I moved up to a 13 which was more comfortable. I heard a couple of people say these boots run a little smaller so buy a size or half size larger than usual. I would agree with that after my experience.
I thought the pump idea was a bit of a gimmick, but it does actually help tighten up around the heel prevent movement of the heel in the boot. And the BOA lace system is awesome.
You can't go wrong with these boots.

I would have to say these are one of the best boots. The cable system is great !!Especially after each run because you can easily make adjustments to your boots tightness.I also love the bottom grip of the boots. The grip comes in handy when getting off the lifts. I also like the extra control the boots add to your boarding. I would definitely recommend these boots to everyone.

Hey I just ordered and had to return a pair of the DC Judge Boots. The boots are amazing, that wasn't the problem. I made the mistake of listening to another poster about the sizing being wrong on the boots, so I ordered big. Wrong, get exactly what the size says. Size 9s are 9s...

These boots are awesome. they are like 4-wheel drive for your feet. Super easy to get in and out of them. Only thing is they do run small I wear a 12 but bought a 13, they fit perfect.

I recently bought a size 15 DC Judge. The tend to rund a little small. I wear a 14 in normal shoes. So here starts the review, 1. There are super easy to get in and out of. Huge plus ++. 2. The inner lacing and top strap do a good job of tighting the inner boot. 3. The directional fiber and boot pump do a great job of holding you heel down in turns. Okay it is know that not every foot is the same. But with the pump you don't need a custom boot. You can get a custom fit every time with just a little pump of the boot. 4. great support on boot. I am a 250 lb guy and this boot was awesome with stiffness. It was great for all mountain riding. Even a little jibing was thrown in for good measure. Okay the only realy negative I have about the boot is the one boa. It is a problem getting you bottom part of the boot super tight. I don't mind this although I could see how some would. I think a dual boa would be nice. All in all, I would buy these exact boots again.

First of all the size was all wrong. I wear size 10-1/5 walking shoes but could barely squeeze my feet into a size 12. Then they scraped my ankles raw, my baby toe is still numb, and my calf is still tight from all the heel lift (even after I pumped up the air thing as much as it would go). I had to buy an insert that helped a little but then it made my arches sore. Any more questions?

I just bought myself a pair of the Judge boots in a 15 and I'm glad that I did. These boots feel great, nothing poking or rubbing at all. The Boa lacing is a must if you want to get your boots tied snugly as well as be able to tighten them at any time on the mountain. Do not listen to people when they say they won't fit on a normal board/ bindings- they DO! I just bought a Burton Custom Wide this year along with size Large bindings and these boots work perfectly. They don't drag off the board or anything. All you need to do is set the screws on the straps of your bindings to the biggest setting, allowing for the most tightening space. As long as you have a Wide board, you're good to go! I'm a wide footed size 15 and these boots were the right choice! Thanks!

Right out of the box these boots were very comfortable. The boa system is quick, easy and efficient and the air pump helps eliminate some of the extra room caused by my narrow feet. The stiffness of the boot is great for those who need quick reaction time. I have found them to be true to size. Definitely recommend these boots!

I purchased these boots for my boyfriend who wears a size 15. The boot is very comfortable however, we have to return them as they run small and do not fit him. If you are a big guy looking for a great size 15 boot, this may not be the boot for you. We tried the size 14 and 15 and did not notice much of a difference.

The Burtons I bought last year were killing my feet. So I decided to try something new... glad I did. These boots are a bit stiff, but they are also SNUG and COMFORTABLE! Never owned a boot that locked my heal down the way these do, yet at the same time they don't cut off circulation to any parts of my feet. If you have wide feet like I do... give these boots a try.

the boots are solid. my first boa boots, and it works good. it is true that lower half of the boots doesnt get as tight as the upper with boa, but it didnt bother me at all when riding. these are my 3rd dc`s and as ususal, they fit about one full size smaller. im not sure if im a fan of air pumps,,,,but its just a matter of personal likings. i mainly ride backcountry, trees, chutes, cliffs,,,,pretty much anything natural with little tiny bit of park when the weather is crap and they are have the perfect flex for what i like to do.

Majic2007, Here is the answer to your review. I am a Rep for DC. DC does make a size 15 boot that has a smaller footprint. It is the Superpark. It has an integrated liner and a drop in midsole that takes 4 layers of material around the foot down to just 2!! Making a 1 size smaller footprint size! The Super Park would be the boot to accomplish the no toe drag on your board with a size 15. Hope this helps

bought sz 15 DC Judge, boots are too big outside, too wide, the foot print is too big even for the Worlds Widest board by Elan "El Grande"
tried sz 14 and the insole was too small, i'll have to customize it alot. however if i put sz 15 insoles from my old boots into the DC judges sz 14 boot. it fits like a dream. DC listen to me~! You CAN MAKE THESE BOOTS WITH A FOOTPRINT OF 1 SZ SMALLER THE REAL SZ. VERY IMPORTANT FOR BIG BOOTS TO PREVENT TOE DRAG AND HEEL DRAG for BigFoot Riders! Other then that i love the boots. comfort is 4.5 out of 5.

Just got the new model in sz 15, Very Comfortable boot, However its very big on the Outside, if you plan to ride with sz 15 DC boots, you better have the ELAN EL Grande board(widest in the world)I also got a pair of sz 14 Burton Boxer, and they are about 1/2 sz too small on me, this tells me DC makes their boots a perfect Fit(maybe 1/3 sz smaller)Its too bad coz Boxers are 1 full inch smaller on the outside, if they only made a sz 15 Boxer i'd choose that over the DC boots sz 15's, they are simply too big on the outside, even with a board of 28.5cm in waist, I still get toe drag. Oh and the the trick with boa system, to tighten the bottom boot part, usually you fold the tongue forward and start turning, you will notice the lower part starts to tighten, once that's tight, put the tongue in place and finish it off. THIS method does not work on my sz 15 boot, however on my gf's DC judge sz 8 boot, it works like a wonder,i guess its very possible the sz makes the difference. PS this website is the Best for Customer Service and Pricing, shipping was super fast( took 4 Bizz days)tho they said 7-14.

These boots are effing awesome. They are so comfortable, it's like you're wearing shoes. The BOA lacing system is so easy to use and I love the air pump. The only thing that will need a bit of breaking in is on the inside part of your ankle, for me anyway. I would highly recommend them to anybody.
P.S. I heard a rumor the sizes are a lot smaller than they seem so I got a size 13. I normally wear 11 1/2 - 12 size shoes. Just a little tip for you.
