Description of Salomon Dialogue Snowboard Boot - Men's:
With a skate shoe feel, the Salomon Dialogue Snowboard Boot is the choice for freestyle superiority. Designed with the progressive rider in mind, the Salomon Dialogue is always down for a solid rail sesh. The Powerlace Pro lacing system locks down with a simple tug, and a low-profile sole provides incredible board feel. More than ten years of innovation and use have gone into these boots, making them a favorite of many of Salomon's pro team riders.
Bottom Line: The Salomon Dialogue Snowboard Boot is the ultimate complement to your skate-influenced riding.
I'm really happy with my dialogues. They fit so snuggly in my Relay Pro bindings that I have a tough time pulling my foot loose of the binding when unstrapping...not a bad thing. they stay dry and haven't caused the cramping I'd grown accustomed to in my old Vans. Only issue is getting the inner lacing to stay tight...seems to relax as the day wears on.
I have tried a few different pairs of boots now (couple of DCs with BOA lacing, 32 Lashed) and these are definitley the best I've worn.
They are very comfortable; there are no pressure points on my feet or ankles whereas other boots tend to put a lot of pressure on the insides of my ankles. The inner "sock" makes these boots feel just luxurious as hell. My feet remain toasty and dry, and I've actually fallen asleep wearing these more than a few times.
The only part I dislike is the lacing system. I can get them pretty tight but it sucks to have to pull on a lace after I've worn BOA boots before. Also, the sinch on the lace that locks the laces into place is moving away from the center of where I pull (sort of like having one side of a shoelace becoming longer than the other over time on a pair of regular shoes) because of a lot of use and it's annoying, though I realize it's kind of an OCD issue there. I'm sure I can adjust the laces back to normal easily, I just don't want to have to.
Anyway, based on comfort and design, I have to recommend these boots. I would never want to sacrifice the comfort of my feet. I bought these when they came out at full price, and I would do it again. At 50% off right now, these are a steal... seriously.
