Ranked #29 - Men's Lace Snowboard Boots
May 31, 2009
I used to be a park rat, so I did not mind my mushy 5-year-old Burton Ions. Then I moved to Mt. Baker, where the terrain demands a boot that fits solidly and has a stiff flex. I sent back a pair of K2 Darkos and DC Parks before I finally found these. They fit right out of the box, and there wasn't any break-in time. The articulated cuff gives power to your turns without creating pressure points. I had problems with my foot slipping around in the Darkos and being cramped in the Parks, but the Prime's Level4P liner molds perfectly to your foot after a couple days of hard-riding and the Power Wrap System allows you to customize how snug you want your foot in the boot. Furthermore, the boot is still flexible enough to throw down decent tweaks and presses. Since every turn you make is initiated with your foot/boot, these simple, solid boots are definitely worth the steep price tag.
