My allrounder boot for the entire mountain
of Alen, Product Content, Blue Tomato, 27.11.2019
I chose the product because I was looking for a versatile boot for allmountain riding and also splitboarding. I mostly ride freeride and piste, but sometimes park as well. So my boot needed to be stiff, but not too much. I was also looking for a boot with boa lacing, so I can adjust them on-the-go. I tried on size 45 and size 44.5 EU, and found out that they fit perfectly in the 44.5 size, which is my normal shoe size. A good Vibram sole is also important to me to give me grip when hiking in the mountains.
I tested the boots for a couple of weeks, I rode on slopes, in the backcountry and went splitboarding with them. They were comfortable from the very beginning, the added adjustability of the double boa meant I could tighten or loosen them whenever I saw fit. They also held up wonderful while splitboarding, I like the fact that they are a bit reinforced on the sides to prevent boot damage and you can quickly switch between walking and riding due to the boa lacing. Another feature I like is the side boa, which really pulls your heel into the boot when needed, for example on aggresive fast runs down the hill. The Vibram sole helps you get grip on icy surfaces, it helped us push our car out of the snow for example. I have not yet found any problems with the boot.
To sum it up, this is a boot you can wear for every day on the mountain, you cant go wrong with it. I would recommend it for riders, who are searching for an allmountain boot, it is a bit on the stiff side so only park riders would need to go for a softer boot.
