Burton Hail Snowboard Boot - Men's - 2009

Have had these boots for four seasons. Took a little to break them in, but they're outstanding, from everywhere between the park and the backcountry these boots have performed well and kept my feet warm. And the flex is perfect! Going to be hard finding a replacement for this boot this season. The Burton Hail has set I high standard.

I got these boots last year after my old boots started hurting my feet and the back of my calfs. i tryed on a bunch of boots in the store and as soon as i tried these of my feet felt relief. My toes used to get cold sometimes with the Hail they never get cold. On the snow these boots make riding a lot easier. They support your anckles great so turning is effortless. Along those same lines you can continue a turn through some bumps an not get any jolting in your anckles. I love these boots.

BUT, I had to have these, sooo comfy, perfect for jibbing all day. soo worth it, round toe, so it never drags...love em

Bought these and used them for the 1st time fornight ago, 7days Mt Perisher. My feet must be different as I found these to really press on the tops of the foot, once I worked out how to lace them so this didn't happen they were sweet, had a bit of toe rub for the first day but a thinner sock fixed that. The inner lacing system is excellent and provides great support, and with that comes confidence on the slope. The only other criticism (and possibly my fault) was I got some wicked blisters on inside heel, assisted by the little boomerang inserts, once I removed the inside ones they were great. For me either I'm lacing too tight or they need another season to wear in. Pro's, they're light weight, super warm and stay DRY!!! which is a winner in my book. I think I'm happy to deal with a bit of wear in as overall they a top boot. And they look great!!!

I've worn many boots in my 8yrs of snowboarding, and these are so far the most comfortable. The outlast liner combined with the phase socks gives complete dryness at the end of the day. Only down side to the boot is if you want to remove the inner liner, you have to undo the liner laces first as these are fixed to the boots. But this isn't a bad thing - being fixed to the boot means reduced heel lift.

These boots felt amazing on my feet. Unfortunately I felt they did not fit tight enough. I recommend going down a full size over your shoe size. I went down just a half size and could tell i would be screwed after they packed out. I ended up returning them. I also decided to go with boots that have the speed lace feature. I have had it before and after being use to it I felt it was hard to lace conventional boots up as tight as I can get the boots with speed lace. Pretty much just get ions if you can.

These boots are sick!! soooo comfy, I love 'em already. They are super light. Have a gel pack for hard landings. The inner shell is amazing! it actually staps into the boot. I don't know what the one dude is talking about with no flex. You can totally control the flex on these boots because you can tighten the outer shell all the way down or have it lace a little loose for tons more flex with a snug fit. I got the green and they are the heat! I'm not much of a rail guy but punting huge methods off of kickers is no problem with these bad mamajamas. get your regular shoe size. soooo stokedddddddddd

Comfort and warmth. Spend the extra cash and your legs/feet will be happy!

Burton makes such a comfortable boot. I don't quite get the velcro strap in the front though. Can probably do without it, but the boot rocks. I've always been told you have to suffer a few days breaking in a new pair of boots, but definitely not these. Love them. Comfortable from day 1.

I just bought these boots and used them for the first time yesterday...they have to be the most comfiest boots i have ever worn and plus they have a great flex in them too

me and buddy ride them, great boots. pros: light as hell, cored out and small(good for big feet), comfy as hell, greatest flex ever(so damn good, great for charging turns and jibbing). cons: took a while wear in(but i did and i love it).

Son loved the boots. Ultra comfortable and warm. Wondered why they put in the extra laces, but either it was a fluke or by necessity- the laces ripped after only about 7 runs- his bindings might be rubbing them though. Either way, it was a great purchase for the money. Would recommend highly!!!

These boots are great. They're very streamlined, so my 10.5s have the bulk of a regular 9.5. They're increadibly comfortable, my feet don't hurt anymore! The lacing system kinda sucks, but the flex and comfort makes up for it.

These boots are awesome. I am new to the sport but can say these boots are just what I needed. The fit was good and the warmth incredible. From ankle support to fit to warmth all around an awesome boot.

ok, i just ordered my burton setup today, burton clash 155, burton freestyle bindings (large), and burton hail boots (size 12). ive heard lots of good things about them but i want to know how they all will work together, performance wise. thanks!!

I ordered the boots as a set to include the board and bindings. Got the board looks good. Got a bag for the board, that looks good too. But no boots or bindings. So I talk to customer service. They say they will fix it. I get the boots two weeks later. They look good. NO BINDINGS!! Halfway through the season can't use my stuff. SO, like the title says, I WISH I KNEW IF MY GEAR WAS GOOD!
