KingKong Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 I'm looking for new boots and looking to buy in the summer. I have last year's Forum Destroyer boots and they completely broke down on me. I'm looking for something stiffer and with a lot more support.. the Destroyers were really soft. So far, I have the Burton Hails in mind.. but definitely looking for suggestions.. not limited to Burton. Oh I wear a size 13 boot.. so i'm looking for something with a smaller footprint. I ride pretty agressive all mountain and spend 70% of the time in park Thanks, I appreciate the replies. Quote
train36 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 32 Lashed , I love mine , so comfortable and a great all around boot. Quote
Glenn Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 Size 13!?!? I wear 9 1/2 so I can't really comment on foot print size but I think most manfacturers try to keep their boot as short as possible. I have a pair of this years salomon maori's and they are the most comfortable boot I've ever stepped into. I can highly recommend them on both comfort and a slightly stiffer boot with more support. They have a quick lace system which utilizes locks at the ankle and the top of the boot, and easily replace boot laces are used, not cables. I didn't really like it at first, just because it was a little different, but I get better, more consistant boot lacings with it. I still have to retighten my boots just like regular laces, and it's only marginally faster than tying my boots. Others with salomon boots have also commented on how comfortable their new boots were compared to previous boots they had owned. I don't know of anywhere that will have size 13 in stock though. Make sure you try them on before purcahsing! Quote
CaptDave Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) Buckman's had the Burton Ruler listed in size 13 on sale. Edited March 2, 2007 by CaptDave Quote

I think they all use the fusion liners, which reduces the footprint. If they're heat moldable, they will most likely pack out, so you can go smaller yet. I've had 32s, and loved them. The only downside is the size. They are big boots. I'm rocking salamon fdbs right now, and they're awesome.Look into salamon Quote
Tyler Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 32's...love em. best boots i've ever owned Quote
KingKong Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Posted March 4, 2007 hey thanks guy im looking into 32 in general just cause everyone seems to agree these are quality boots.. anyone with information on the Team-2 boot? (+$70 from Lashed) just wondering if they're worth the money.. also, would northwave boots hold up in the park? Quote
NJ JIBBER Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 I like the 32 lineup..depends if you want to spend the extra $ for the lashed or moldable liners( + $$ ). NOrthwaves were good a few years ago..haven't seen or heard much about them recently ? Quote
