 Poster: A snowHead
|
Evening chaps.
I've always had bother finding a comfy board boot. Odd, given my Fisher V10 Ski boots are VERY comfy.....
I've currently got a set of 32 Lashed, which are a tad too big. They are of the type where the inner lacing is part of the outer boot.
Now, i don't know why I've never tried it before, but I put my ski boot inner in my snowboard boot last night. MAN was it comfy. even when it was ramped up as tight as i could get it, i walked around for ages with no discomfort etc.
Anyone see a reason not to board with this setup?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

If it's comfy and you don't get heel lift then you're good to go.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Sweet. I use a leather shim in the back of them for sking. I'll check for heel lift on the mountain, but certainly they feel just fine.
The other inners "grab" the back of my heel where it widens at the Achilles. Super uncomfy.

I found the 32 boots the most uncomfortable (alongside Salomon) when I went looking for boots. They felt like cardboard and the 9s were too wide. I'd recommend trying on different boots at a shop and buy the boots that feel the best.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Funny, because my other option is a pair of Salomon malumutes. They FIT, but again, grab the back of my heel too tight.
I swear my ski boot inners in these 32's fit like a glove. Gonna go with that for now!

@wozzad, Malamutes are a rad boot, but STIFF. One of the absolute stiffest snowboard boots on the market. If they're not comfortable, worth looking at something slightly mellower in the Salomon range (which will still be pretty stiff by most standards) such as the Synapse.

Yeah i bought them with no prior knowledge. They are comfy, but the way the inner 'grabs' my heel is off putting. I'm a new boarder, but 30 years deep in skis.
I presume the Malamute is a few years old now - didn't find a great amount of information online about them.
I've got 23kg+23kg luggage allowance, so my current plan is to take the 32's, the Malamutes, and my trusty ski boots. overkill, but at least i'll be comfy!
