I'm a girl that typically shops for boarding boots on the men's side of the aisle because I can't find a boot that is stiff enough...alas, no more! I LOVE these boots, and now realize what I was missing by trying to wear men's boots. At first when I got them, I ordered 1/2 a size up because Burton women's boots have always seemed too small to me. When the boots arrived, my toes were pressed pretty far into the front of the boot but after riding them 2-3 times they started to pack out and the comfort and control set in and fron there on out, the Q boots were positively delicious. Now, after about 1/2 a season of twice per week riding, the boots are positively heaven for my feet, no matter what the weather. They are rugged, warm, and have held up so far quite nicely for a season of demanding riding. On a final note, I have the white, and have had no issues with discoloration, so if you're craving the white, stomp on! :)

I'm completely sold on these bindings. I have the teal zebra color, and I do agree with the above review that the bindings are absolutely not the color shown...it's more of a bright jungle green if you ask me. Sweet, nontheless, but not the color shown. I'd say if you're iffy on color, order a black or white pair and save yourself headache or disappointment later. Anyway, the bindings have essentially the most comfortable and responsive system I've ever experienced. I took the time to carefully adjust the bindings to the boots I use them with, which took a little time but it was well worth it. I have never experienced such smooth, fluid control and connection with my board. You simply gotta try it :)
