07-08 Salomon Dialogue Review

Great boot. You can't go wrong with this one.
I always have a hard time finding boots that fit and give proper support. I have long narrow feet (AAA) and high arches. I spent several hours at Boulder Ski Deals trying on boots before finding this boot. It fits like a glove and is so easy to lace. The powerlace system has you in or out of your boots in seconds. I added Superfeet inserts to replace the stock inserts and I hit the checkout stand.
I’ve ridden this boot for two seasons now. I ride about 50-60 days/season. I ride in the trees, moguls, park, pipe, carving, switch, and race. This boot offers solid support. I’ve experienced no pressure points or arch pain. The liner has minimally packed out. One lace did break and one of the ankle cinches doesn’t work as well as it used to. The laces are so long I just tied the broken ends together and the cinch has secondary backup so no big issue there either. It doesn’t mesh well with Flow bindings but works with Burton bindings. I’d buy this boot again.
