Hey All,

What boots do you guys ride in? I was looking to pick up a new pair this year? Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

Solomon Evol. 3 or 4 boots that are impossible to get your feet into. You have to like jump up and down really hard to get into them.

Yellowsnow- this years 1080s boots are pretty much the same, except for the color they added a rivot to make the boot a little stiffer but not much. Instead of being a flex of 85 it is 95. I suppose that can help if your riding some park and freeriding the other time. Otherwise they are kickass boots that were perfect for anything and I don't see how making them stiffer would hurt. Look into it.

Anyone know how much they are going to cost? I went to the Salomon website but it doesn't say.

Hopefully I can get a deal on them just like I did for my teneighty skis last year. Otherwise things are going to be difficult.

No one here has a right to gripe - I am a *32* mondo-point. The only way I can ride is to get footbeds and gods know what else
