Van's Encore Boot

By Ranked #1801 - Boots February 4, 2009

These boots are good for about 4-6 rides.
The fit is good, they are comfortable.
They are made poorly.
The BOA system rips free of the stitching after only a week of riding!!
This has happened to me twice already.
Van's will warranty the boots but you gave to pay shipping to get them there(which I have done twice now).
Also, it takes a long time, so you will be without boots for a couple of weeks.
How do you ride without boots?
Save your money, these suck bad!!!!
I have been snowboarding since 1984 and these are the crapiest things I've ever owned.
