I was wondering if there is any difference between the b&e pro model boot and the descendant 6

From a specs perspective it doesn't seem like there is much difference. Though the B & E looks to have a strap more reminiscent of a booster strap as opposed to just a generic velcro strap.

The booster strap and the liner. Both of which are entirely worth it. Mainly the liner. Also. If you get the b&e. Order #8 tongues. Shit is silly soft so get it upgraded.

Honestly thinkin ordering some 10 tongue's, I rode a pair of descendant 8s and they were pretty soft

Lol wut... no, definitely better.


If you were getting a Corvette instead of a Civic would you say "not better, just different...." no it's just plain better.

It has different characteristics due to the use of different foam densities. But it's not "better" just different. Functionally the average skier wouldn't even be able to tell the difference.
