Best ^#%%@&^ boot on the face of the planet 09-04-07
Heat? What? All of those had to go in or home on those sick powder days when my feet were numb are GONE. If these boots were $2,000 dollars I would find a way to get them now that i've tried them. The supreme (since they put in an articulating cuff) have always been my favorite overall performing boot, but now to have the ability to clip in heat on cold days? these boots are THE best boots on the market for women today- and it isn't because i work for them- it is because i wear them and i am a snowboarder.
The heat isn't a big deal. you can't feel the cords or can tell they're even wired except for a little plug in area on the front. When you choose to wear the heat- charge them the night before. throw the units in your smallest pocket until you are cold- then plug them in a clip them onto the tongue of your boot. You can't feel them, and they don't fall off, or get in the way of grabs or airs (FAQ). They are held in by your boot gaiter even if they did. AGain, growing up at Kissing bridge ski resort in NY i would have KILLED for a boot with HEAT. You guys are lucky.
I picked these up for my girlfriend and ordered them a 1/2 size larger than her Salomon boots, but they were still too small. Picked up the next size up and they were perfect after a heat molding session (that's a total of 1 full size larger than her Salomon boots). The heat packs are on the budget side and therefore only get about 4 hours on the middle setting, but they keep her toes nice and toasty considering her very poor circulation. If the heat packs held their charge as advertised then this boot would get 5 stars. If you can get this boot on Whiskey, it's more than worth the sizing and heat pack issue.
All snowboard boots will most likely be uncomfortable when you get them if you get the correct size. The materials will pack out, and then the boots will be too big for you if they are comfortable at first, resulting in heel lift and pain. So...its a little pain up front or a lot in the long run and maybe even useless boots. Walk around your apartment some to break them in, shove in tennis balls. Squeeze the boots. Do things that mimic riding motions. But get your normal size! I actually ended up sizing down 1/2 a size once I actually thought about how they were fitting. In heels/tennis shoes I wear an 8.5 and went with these in an 8 (returned my original 8.5's).
