Chris's Review

December 12th, 2006

Summary:

The 306 is Thirty Two's top-end all mountain freeride boot. The boot excels in most terrain, providing a comfortable riding through chop, powder, or gigantic airs. Probably more boot than most riders need, this boot is really designed for powerful riders.

Review:
The 306 has been marketed as a boot for riders who are looking for a stiffer rider that will power through any terrain they're riding, and it definitely meets that mark. While initially very stiff, the boot quickly moves into a comfortable stiffness level that provides excellent support for just about any terrain you throw at it.

With a stiff boot like the 306 you need to assume at least 15 days in the boot before they're going to get comfortable. In order for them to stay stiff throughout the season, the break-in period has to be extended as well. This is true for the 306, but it isn't a terribly painful break-in process. A few days wearing them around the house before you take them up on the mountain will definitely pay off though.

If you primarily ride the park, you might want to look at a slightly softer boot, like the Team Two. You'll find it harder to tweak grabs until the boot really starts to soften up, probably 60 or so days of good riding.

If you consider yourself an all-mountain master, then these boots are unbeatable. Whether you're hiking up to the backcountry, dropping a 40' cliff, launching a 60' tabletop, or powering down a steep descent, these boots provide the support to really excel at whatever you're doing.
