Not Just Flash

Nope. A legit boot with over-the-top stylings. I picked these up to use as a comfy park boot and for those days when you just feel like cruising. I don't need my feet crushed in my plug boots every day, ya know? The out of the box fit will straight spoil your feet. By my second run I had forgotten that it was my first day in a new pair of boots. The BOA style liner is a great idea. Your ankles will be snugged into the heel pocket of the boot without the need to crank hard on your buckles. They are also stiff enough for all-mountain riding, much more supportive that I would have thought. For big days on big skis, I'm still sticking with my racer boots, but otherwise it looks like I'm going to be pimping these way more often than I expected when I picked them up. A last note: I wear Asterisk knee braces which have always made my boot liners look like a doggy chew toy after just a few runs. But after 4 hours of tram laps, these still looked new. I'm not under the impression that this will last forever, but it is nice to see that they are going to be durable. Dropping!
