I've heard mixed reviews and also that they don't hold up well....but if your gettin em super cheap and are jus gonna use em as a park ski and aren't super concerned with fit....go for it cause they are supa cheap right now....but if your thinkin of gettin em as an everyday boot I'd try em on first or see a fitter...there's a reason they're so cheap.

Yea like 190 on evo even if they aren't the best try and find another boot that is better for the same price doupt it will happen. Oh yea i ride a Bear Creek and Big Boulder in pre/post season.

Dude skis.com has em for $149....so yeah BB is fun....they need some quicker lifts though right?.....never done bear creek though...heard it's good but I typically suffer through the lift lines at blue....their park maintenance sucks but if ya hit it on a good day it's fun.

yea i saw that but i don't know to much about skis.com so ill msg evo and see if they will match their price. but yea needs new lifts most are pretty hagard and if you ever come to bear creek its eather a hit or miss on the weekends. id say go on a weekday midseason is always dead and the park is usually prime.

i have a pair there a bitch to get into sometimes because the tongue doesnt drop completely forward like the fulltilts and dalabellos, but the boot gives you some serious support and no shin bang so im happy with them i also get complements on them all the time..

Skis.com is super legit. It's the online shop for Don Thomas Sporthaus in Birmingham, MI, which is my local shop. Not sketchy at all.

Got a pair this week and overall I'm pretty stoked on them. They're a little confusing when you get em. Buckles are weird and the velcro strap a the top is't very convenient to get on or off. They also come with 2 velcro tongue add ons and I can't tell if they're for preference or necessity. I left em off the first few times and it seemed to be fine.

90 flex so real soft. Don't use this for your all mountain ski. Big air and jibbing these work great. They seem to be an attempt at a full tilt alternative, which by all means they're not, but not a bad knock off.

Pros: CHEAP! $80 on evo (so choice). Soft. solid control and a tight fit. lightweight.

Cons: Confusing design. take a while to get on. Not durable from what I hear (though no troubles yet). Funny looking.

Hell if the durable part is the main issue, you could buy 6 pair of theses and it would still be less than buying a new pair of full tilts or kryptons.
