Description of Celsius Rexford Snowboard Boot - Men's:
If you lathered your upper body in olive oil and then shredded around the resort in nothing but the Celsius Men’s Rexford Snowboard Boot and your long johns, you’d have a kickin tan by the time summer shred camp starts. Stash a twig of oregano in between the Rexford’s molded tongue and the laces. The Rexford’s cut-and-buff rubber outsole doesn’t need salt to keep from slipping on the ice, but a little of the kosher might accentuate the flavor of the concoction you’re developing. A cozy EVA footbed cushions your feet better than a plate of grandma’s mashed potatoes.
Bottom Line: When summer arrives, your Celsius Rexford Snowboard Boot feel as comforting as a full tummy after a tasty dinner with the family.
These boots are cotton "water resistant". That says enough right there, who the hell makes a boot that is only water resistant? I work at Wolf Creek Ski Area in Colorado as a snowboard instructor so here's an honest opinion. After not even a week on these things, only 3-5 days riding hard they are completely torn apart. The heel is ripped off one of my boots and damn close on the other one. Besides your feet being wet half way through the day from the "water resistant" material, the sole has no grip at all so good luck walking through the parking lot. The liner design is flawed, when you tighten the liner the button sticks straight out horizontally fitting right against the tongue so when you tighten the laces it pushes the button on the liner after about a run or two, and the liner becomes completely loose. This leaves with you huge heel lift and there goes your 8/10 flex it becomes a 1/10. When I replaced the liners with some 32's the flex is great, really stiff, but I can't say much else for the rest of the boot. The black stripes faded away instantly so the boots went from a sick design to an ugly green patchyness. I don't care about the looks but since they preform like crap it would be cool if they at least looked dope, wrong. The toe is torn up from resting my board on it, again, after less than 10 days. I don't care how cheap these things go on sale for, don't get em. I hope to try out some higher end Celsius boots to change my opinion on their product but as of now I couldn't recommend it.
I'll start with saying I've only had these out for one nice trip. For the price, they're a nice performer with a solid lacing system, and they're not overly large and clunky.
I will say, though, they feel a bit more flexy than an 8/10. I'm not a snowboard master, but I've worn a handful of different boots, and these aren't the stiffest of the bunch.
Otherwise, I like the feature of the metal tip on the laces so the ends don't fray and the sole. I also got a fantastic deal on them.
