Vans Tara Dakides III Snowboard Boot - Women's - 2006

The third signature all-mountain freestyle boot from one of the most recognized ladies in pro snowboarding, the Vans Tara Dakides III Snowboard Boot for women brings hipster style and cutting-edge performance to the mountain. The Tara Dakides III is stiffer than the Vans Women's Encore boot, due in part to a built-in internal support harness. An updated thermal Trifit liner features an exterior support cage and backstay and breathable wicking mesh. TPR footbeds provide antimicrobial protection, integrated arch support, impact-relief pads, and an overmolded support cage. Vans' Flight Core Snowaffle Air Outsole increases sensitivity and provides better sole-edge traction. Forefoot gel cassettes provide lightweight cushioning and zone-specific shock absorption. Dual heel gel-pads enhance stability and disperse impact, while a TPU arch-stability platform and full-wrap heel cradle provide excellent support and response. The vintage-style upper is equipped with a Recco reflector that could help rescuers locate you in event of an avalanche.

Bottom Line: Tara Dakides keeps making her pro-model boots better, so you know this one must kick serious ass.

They weren't kidding when they said stiffer.

I wanted a stiffer boot, and man did I get it. They do loosen up a bit after a few days on the slopes, but not by much. Still, I like them. The lining is nice and warm, and comfy too. They put the good Velcro (the kind that actually lasts) on the top so that the tongue of the lining doesn’t slip down. They also don't reek after spending a day or four in them, always a plus. The ‘harness’ is a looped string with a tab that you can easily pull to tighten your boots while riding if they feel a bit too loose. My other boots never had a ‘harness’ so I wondered what that was exactly. If you don’t like the harness, just take the strings out. Great boot for the money.
