Decent first boots for a great price

I've ridden Burton Motos for a while now, they're the best-selling snowboard boot on the globe for a reason! I've learned almost every turn and trick on these things and they still feel comfortable and reliable, but if you're looking for value for money they're excellent too. Although they're beginner boots they seem unbreakable and I have yet to hear a complaint for someone who has ridden them about either the price or about how long they last.
I'm ridding a size 44, which is very true to my own sneaker size, and although I am quite tall they don't feel too flexible.
The boots work anywhere but they fit best in a freestyle environment, as they're flexy and playful. The inner shoe is soft and comfortable while the speedlacing simply works. The downside for me personally is that they have the typical Burton mold, meaning that they're made for people with quite broad feet and high arches. I've used insoles almost all the time in order for them to fit well with my skinny feet, but this is simply something to keep in mind. Whenever I go into unknown terrain off-piste or want to try a new trick I look to my boots and bindings for stability, but with these Motos the flex rating isn't high enough to give you proper support in those conditions. Because of this, I tend to strap in a little too hard, making for a lot of cramp and worn-out feet at the end of the day.
They're great value for money and comfortable boots to learn anything from powder turns to jib tricks, but if it's support you're looking for you should definitely look elsewhere. Also, make sure to try them on in order to see whether they properly fit your feet!
