Loved Last Year's Version - This Year is Different
DC Allegiance Snowboard Boot - Men's
February 27, 2008
Sadly, the 2008 version of these boots does NOT have the air pump as described in another review. I had the 2007 version and they were great -- the dual BOA and the pump were great for my narrow heel/ankle. There was some separation of the rubber on the outside heel (exacerbated by some too-tight flow bindings) and DC was cool enough to replace them with the 2008 version -- but they did away with the air pump! They re-tooled the liner or something to supposedly take care of what the air pump used to do - but it doesn't work as well and now I'm getting tons of heel lift and have to tighten the liner at least 4 times a day. Bummer! (Other than that this is an AWESOME boot. I just happen to have long, narrow feet.)
