is it just me or do men's boots get all the bells and whistles and women's boots just seem lame? anyway, i'm in the market for new boots, and want to know if any of you ladies have had really good experiences with specific freeride boots.

i'm basically looking for something that will cushion my landings a bit, be super responsive, and keep my toes super toasty! any suggestions?

ps: does anyone know what boots the pros (sarah, kristi, grete, etc) wear? they all seem to be orange... 1080s maybe?

they must wear men's boots then, because the attivas are all blue and white... or am I just crazy?

Orange ones are Diablo men's series.

the orange boots they are all rocking are the tecnica diablo pro boot, they come in three different flex's for last year. i'm waiting on my next years to come in.

if you don't have small feet like me (i've been in junior world cup race boots, there are a few more things to look at). i can only wear two boots on the market.

Lange made a women's freeride boot, which is basically the same as the world cup junior boot i've been in but a little softer. it would probably be a nice boot for you, depends how stiff you like your boots.

a lot the freestyle world came from a mogul background and the tecnica diablos are what most mogul skiers use.

Go to a bootfitter. How many more threads do people have to start before mods make a sticky on this?
