These boots are, in a word, heaven. Perfect for wearing around the city on cold, slushy days and absolutely DIVINE to pull on after my feet have been cramped up in board boots all day. I bought mine a few years ago, and while I don't wear them a whole lot, they still look like new. Only problem is that the laces are really long and don't seem to stay tied very well. But for as comfortable as these puppies are, I'll re-tie them all day long. Much cozier than Ugg boots, they look bad ass, and I have yet to see someone else with a pair. I wear a 7 in most shoes and got the medium. They're a little roomy but with big winter socks on they're nice and snug.

Nice bindings. I wear the Burton Lodi boots in a 7.5 and got the medium bindings and they fit perfectly. These give great control over the board, but I have to say the cap straps that came with the binding were pretty useless. They slid off at least once every run. I picked up a set of really grippy cap straps (i think around $10-12, made for the men's small bindings) to swap out and haven't had a problem since.

First off, I'm not a kid. I'm a 5'3, 115 lb grown up. But this board was the PERFECT size for me to learn on! Since we've got a lot of ice and artificial snow on the east coast, I don't have to worry about the short length sinking into powder and the magne-traction cuts thru ice like butter. Now that I'm well into my 2nd season this board is getting seriously flexible and it's a blast trying to do ollies and other little tricks. I can't say enough about this board, not to mention the price; if you're cool with riding a shorter board you get all the technology of Gnu's B-Pro boards for a steal! The only drawback I can see is that this year's model doesn't come in the smokin' hot pink unicorn graphic!
I'm sure one of these days I'll graduate to a longer board for trips out west, but I'm NEVER going to part with this little guy.

This was the first pair of boots I bought and the difference they made over rentals was amazing.

They fit pretty true to size, I usually wear a 7 in street shoes and went with a 7.5 in these to avoid my toes falling asleep(which they still do a bit, but I think it has more to do with my feet than the boots). Probably could have gone with a 7 as they are now fairly broken in and my heel is starting to slip up a bit.
All in all a fantastic boot to learn on; comfy enough to keep you going all day. I've worn them pretty much every weekend for 1 1/2 seasons and they still look new. Also, LOVE that the liner has a little pouch to slip the toe warmers into!
