Super Blaster- Finally a Stiff Boot for Wide Feet

By Adam Berk Ranked #398 - Men's Ski Boots January 18, 2010

I gave this boot 4 stars because the shell is GREAT!!! Finally, a boot with a 102mm and a 120 flex. So SICK of stiiff boots with 97mm lasts. Why is it that boot companies thing that all aggressive skiers have skinny feet? The flex is consistent and powerful. The walk mode in this boot is the best I've seen. Far better than the typical plastic switch/lever on the back of the boot. Whether going to the bathroom or standing in the lift line, super easy to just flip the second calf buckle and go into walk mode with LOTS of extra room to stand in; great for patrolling, instructing, and touring.

Why not 5 stars you ask? Well I've had issues with the liners. I've already returned one pair to Lange for a rip in the liner near the ankle. Now, on my second pair of liners, there is a rip at the base of the tongue; seems cosmetic, but as this is the second issue, I'm not super satisfied with them, but over all, very happy and I'd recommend these to somebody. Thinking about getting a custom liner from Surefoot as I really do love these boots. I have had the shell stretched quite a bit, but these are the most comfortable and best performing boots I've had in a long while.

Also, the soles are nice for walking around the resort. Not Vibram, but they're a soft material that interchangeable and sticky.
