I have worn the dalbello boss boots for the past couple years which are great for my wide ass feet and serve me well all over the mountain and in powder. Issue is they got stolen from my local dome a couple weeks back along with a jacket which i am not too bothered about but the boots and liners are gonna be expensive to replace. My buddy has had a knee op recently and has kindly said i can use his b and e boot until i can afford to replace my own. They fit good and are nice and light but i am not sure how they will hold up in the deep stuff. Has anyone had any experience with them for anything other than park which is obviously what the design of the boot was made for...??

many thanks

They will be fine for free ride, seth ripped big mountain on his full tilts. The only issue might be the 6 flex is too soft. Try them out and if you think they are go to your local ski shop and you can buy stiffer tongues for $50.

Get the descendant 8's instead if you want full tilts for wide feet.

hi mate, i will no doubt go back to the boss when i can afford to re-buy. These are just a loan as i have quite a few trips to pay off and was wondering if they would hold up ok with them being a park orientated boot

thanks

Which shell style are the boots? Not sure about the older B&E's but the last 2 seasons models have been great boots IMO

I have the newer Descendent shell B&E boots and have replaced the tongue with the 10 flex tongue. The boots have been great all round, I've used them in deep pow and on a week long instructing course doing long carved turns, and they've really delivered in my opinion. While most my riding at the moment is in indoor centres in the UK the B&E boots got me through a season in Whistler and look like they'll hold up for a few more seasons as most parts are replacable.
