Summary: With some great colorways, this boot looks hard core and rides hard core.
Review

For the chick that likes to ride chutes and trees to the chick that front boards the handrail at her condo, this boot will not disappoint. This season ThirtyTwo is using footbeds in their product (thank goodness), which has certainly improved the fit of their boots. It also makes it easier to customize the fit, which may be important unless you have a Spongebob Squarepants shaped foot.

Straight out of the box there is certainly a lot of room in the toe box – it takes a wide foot to fill this up. The heel hold could also be better, but nothing a heel wedge and some strategically placed sticky foam could not fix. Don’t let the sound of this customizing put you off – it is absolutely worth taking the time to get the boot dialed in. Once you have it dialed the hill is your playground in this go everywhere and do anything high performance boot.

Make sure you check the boot in your binding though as it is not entirely low volume, so may be a squash in some bindings. So now we just need ThirtyTwo to come out with bindings for that perfect boot-binding interface for the ultimate ride.
