Mush after 40 days

By Ranked #84 - Men's Lace Snowboard Boots March 20, 2011

So I had to put these puppies in the closet after about 40 days of riding. Why? Mush. After only a month and a half of daily riding these boots went from an 8/10 stiffness to a 3/10. No joke, I can literally grab the heel and toe of the boot and bend the sole in half without even straining myself. I have since bought some Driver X's and they seem to be holding out well, although I will hold my review of those till the end of the season. If you only ride 10 days a year, buy some Ions, but if you are a regular to the mountains then get something else unless you want mushy park boots after 40 days.
