Boa Lace Boots and Toe Straps

[Mark_H]

I figured i would handle to questions with one post.
1. I m looking for new snowboard boots my feet are supremly messed up (fallen arches, planters in my heels, ankles that are worn out after walking around or standing for any extended peroid of time my feet kill, pediatrist said dont take up any excessive running sports or u will get shin splints) anyways im looking for super comfortable boots and was wondering what experience people have with BOA LACE systems. Mainly cause any lace boots i have santa cruz, 32 Lashed, Salomon Malamutes and they all come loose when i ride. SO yeah any experience would be awesome. ie good brands or ones to stay away from.

2. Toe Straps I was wondering if any body had bindings withem or had used em. My straps are starting to die, broke one last year replacement doesnt match (though that doest really matter the new strap is actually better). So yeah are they any better than normal ones.

Dude if you pay $500 for boots and they come loose its cause you cant lace em......:P

Malamutes are fuckin awesome boots. Maybe try getting some nice insoles for them too to help your f'd up feet a little.
I suggest you visit your local preschool on a day when they are learning to tie shoes. :)
I'm not too sure what you are trying to ask about toestraps though. :???:

If you mean toe cups there pretty cool! Ive only ridden them once, but Im looking forward to giving them a better appraisal this season!

i was just wondering if people who have used toe straps felt they worked any better than regular binding straps ( i was just wondering as mine wear out if i should just get another regular set or go to toe straps)


So does anybody here actually have any experience with boa lace systems?

I dont think its that much of a difference, they just apply pressure differently!

Im excited because i like fucking givin' 'er on my straps and the circulation in my foot dies, so i gotta loosen at the bottom of every run for the ride up. Hopefully this will help a little!

is you have trouble with loose boots Salomon's are deffinatly the best bet.... they have the system where you dont do any tieing so they stay much tighter..... also with the toe straps i find they hold your foot in the back of the bindings much better...

the malemute looks reaal nice aswell

i have malamutes already and i think im just gimped cause i still have the same problem (not quite as bad) they are so comfortable and expensive. I really should have just gone with the boas in the 1st place. If u want them im willing to let them go cheap there either 9.5s or 10s i think 10s but i would have to check (next to no use, didnt do much riding last season)
