I like this snowboarding boot. Read the instructions before you try tightening or loosening the boot because the strings and tension system is a little hard to understand without it.

The boots are a little unwieldy if you have back loading bindings, but I think I might just have to get used to it.

They keep your foot and ankle well stabilized and warm, and are easy to loosen to walk comfortably on asphalt.

:) Happy Snowboarding!

while the overall appearance and design of the boot seemed solid, the small plastic part on the side of the boot that locks in place to release the laces did not engage on the left boot. My assessment is that the plastic is not rigid enough to hold up to continual use, seeing that the clip failed straight out of the box. Hmm, seems like good technology, just a bit wary about things failing before I even got the boot in the binding.
