snip - get rid of BOA boots

I waffled between Salomon Malamutes and Burton Driver X's and went with
the Driver X's because of the narrow fit of the Malamutes didn't fit
well.

BTW, Driver X is more comfortable and pretty fast to do up as well, just
pull on the handle for the lower foot, then again for the upper foot.

Snip - Malamutes/Burton

take your boot to a bootfitter to do that (and most people don't know
they can do that to help heelhold). Also I notice that Burton is
putting better-quality footbeds into their boots, which is nice as most
companies just stick in a thin foam insole that gets you no arch or
heel support. I like it when companies innovate behind your back
(although usually tend to hype up the less important but more "cool"
stuff they do).


I had two pairs of the Malamutes and liked them with my Flows. Switched to
the Burton P1 Carbon bindings and switched boots as well to the Burton Ions.
BTW- narrow feet 10.5 size. With the J Bar inserts I get I nice tight heel
fit. The Dual zone lacing has allowed me to "dial in" how tight I want them.
I find that with the cap strap and moving the back straps up higher I don't
have to tighten the boots as much as I thought I would so I have warmer feet
with less discomfort at the end of the day. With the Carbon highback being
so stiff, I went with the "softer" boots. Really like the mix. Didn't have
the Driver-Xs in my size so I can't comment on them. Would like to try the
SL-8's next year.

I think many that don't like Burton think they have sold out to marketing,
but I think they have done quite a bit in the technology side in both boards
and bindings. Don't have much of their clothing.
