If your looking for a pair of snowboard boots that feel (& look) like sneakers - look no further! Heat mold-able so they form to your feet. Boa lacing is super fast and on this boot feels better than others, less pinch points! I wear a size 8.5 in street shoes, but 8 in board boots to keep heel locked in, very snug at first but molds out perfect. A month in (with weekly riding) I've found these to be too soft for my tastes. I tend to crank them tighter then needed as the day goes on & kudos to that boa for keeping the pinch at minimum for my overcompensation. Overall a great boot.
I wear size 8 Vans shoes, but needed size 9 for these boots. I'm an intermediate rider, stick mostly to groomers, and like to go fast. Wish I had gone for stiffer boots. These are not responsive enough. Boa has popped out once. It's hard to get them tight enough around the calf, but that could be related to the softness. I'm overcompensating - tying them tighter to try and get that precision. First 2 days of riding were unbearably painful too - the boots are so stiff around bridge that I had severe pain after only a couple of hours. After that trip, I replaced the factory insoles with some warn-in ones from an old pair of Nikes. Created a bit more space through the foot and toes. They've been pretty comfy ever since.
I got these for my kid but they didn't fit her. Thought about keeping them for myself but they are not the same quality as the my Salomon boots. They run about one size small. They look even cooler in real life. The stitching and and sole quality seems pretty excellent. The cable tightening system seems quality. They are light weight. The stance seems wrong. If you stand in them on flat ground, it feels like the heel pressure is wrong. Like it wants you to move your weight back. The stability material seems kind of low quality.
the sizing chart provided here is different from the official vans sizing chart. i bought a 6 thinking that it'd be 23cm however it's 22.5cm in reality. all the mondo/centimeter are 0.5cm smaller than listed here.
This boots are extremely comfortable! And I love the Vans style! The color on the picture is spot on. Size-wise I wear a size 7.5 in shoes and the boots felt true to size. Lastly the quality of the boots feels great and I will be able to enjoy many seasons with them. All in all I am very happy with my purchase.
The product looks really good. But I'd made a mistake and just bought a female shoes. Unfortunately I won't use it. So I'd love to change it for a male shoes.
