| Review Detail |
Yes, ok, I fell into the corpo marketing trap and went for the brand that 'everyone' wants to rock, but these are REALLY GOOD boots. Really comfy even after a full 8 hours on the hill and riding all day. Great board feel and response with good support.
I can't swear to the subliminal brand marketing that wearing Burton will make you a better rider, but they certainly make you feel as though you are riding better. Simply because they give you the confidence that they are well made and won't fall apart on you the first time you hit a kicker, get up any kind of decent speed and have to carve a big turn. |

| Strengths |
| Love, love, love the 2-zone speed-lace system. I find I can get exactly the right amount of foot pressure on the fasteners and they don't work loose during riding. |
|
| Weaknesses |
The styling let's them down a bit I think. They're just ok and a bit boring.
I had the black / white version which did have a jazzy little winged badge on the side, but as far as steeez goes, that's it. |

| Similar Boots Used |
| 32 Team One's - they were my first boot and were 2nd hand, so I have to make allowances for this. They were good boots though but I needed that 'new feel' and to get a thermal liner that actually resembled the shape of my foot and not that of a turkey ! |
