Stylish, responsive and versatile boot
za / iz / z / od Sem, Blue Tomato Shop Utrecht, Blue Tomato, 18. jun. 2022
My name is Sem. I am 185 cm tall and weigh around 78 kilo's. I have been riding Vans boots for the past 4 years and enjoyed all of them. Most of the time i find myself riding rails indoor during summer and ride all mountain in Austria during the winter. For this boot I was looking for a little faster response and stiffness for holding presses. I always ride size 44 with all the Vans boots, but i have found that this boot fits just a tad tighter which fitted my foot even better. I have a fairly normal footshape.
I tested this boot indoor in The Netherlands, mostly riding rails and in Austria mostly in Kitzsteinhorn. I recommend this boot to any intermediate to advanced level rider who is looking for a fast responding boot to ride the whole mountain, including park. If you are looking for a boot to start riding park, hit your first boxes or rails with, I would recommend a softer flex boot. The boot is not very forgiving and will punish you if you make mistakes.
The outer shell is really sturdy and hard which makes the boot last a long time. The power strap makes sure you can crank your boot just that extra bit and because the strap is on the outside you can tighten it on the go. The zipper that goes over the laces makes sure your feet stay dry and prevent your laces from freezing.
When I know I am going to be riding rails all day I remove the insertable strips to make my boot feel a little more softer. When I’m planning on riding the mountain and maybe hit some powder, I put them back in for ultimate response. That’s one of the many reasons why I have been loving this boot compared to any other boots i've tried in the past.
If you want to be riding the way Sam Taxwood does, hit street obstacles but also ripping the whole mountain, then this really is a boot to consider.
