Not Worth MRSP of 200 Dollars

By Gregory Schill Ranked #29 - Men's Lace Snowboard Boots April 2, 2009

For 200 dollars, you can definitely a much better boot. When I placed my order for these, I thought they would be perfect for me: a freestyle boot that is stiff enough (DC says 6/10 on their stiffness scale) to carry me through the steeps. I couldn't be more disappointed. Right out of the box, I could fold up the boot with my hands. Definitely not 6/10, probably more along the lines of 4/10. I decided to test ride them in the park anyway and found that because the boot is so soft and does not have an articulated cuff you get mad pressure points on the top of your feet. Furthermore, although the Delta liner is marketed as the "bare essentials" liner, I thought the liner was too thin and lacked the necessary cushion to be considered comfortable. Also the lack of any way to secure the liner above the ankle gave the entire boot a very loose feel. 200 dollars should be able to buy you a stiffer boot with articulated cuffs and heat moldable liners. Even if you wanted a really jibby boot, there are better options out there for cheaper.
