What snowboard boots should I get?

Question

I have a Rome Blue 151 and white Burton Stiletto bindings.

What boots should I get?

I'm a size 9.

Answer 1

I'm a fan of the quick lace system.  So I go with Burton Emerald or cheaper version Mint.  

Making it nice and tight is important.  I find myself having problem with lace as they get loosen mid-day and I find myself having to re-tie.  

It takes me seconds to put on my boots and off.  And lace are hard to tie with your gloves on and if you do take your gloves off, it's cold and plus it's you'll hurt your hands by trying to pull the lace tight.  

Good luck to you decision

Answer 2

The sapphires are nice.  I have them. They are very comfortable.  They have a heat moldable liner which is very nice. I tried on a bunch of different boots, and the sapphires were my favorites. Try them on before you buy them, I wear a 7.5 to 8 in sneakers, and the 7.5s were too big for me, so i got the 7. I tried on the emeralds and i didn't like them.  I dont really see the point of the quicklace system, because these lace up very quickly and the although the quicklace boots were easy to tie up, they took longer to get them off.  I think i can get the sapphires on faster than the quicklace boots i tried on. I dont like to ride with the laces very tight, but i can tie them tight quickly if i wanted to.

I recommend the sapphires. I tired on the mints and emerald.  These are way more comfortable than both of them. The laces are big and soft and strong so you won't hurt your hands tying them.

Answer 3

If you have burton bindings i'd go with burton boots also, it just seems right. these are the one's id get if i were you because they are TOO much money and seem like great boots. and also, knowing what the rome blue board looks like and you having white bindings these look good. http://www.burton.com/Gear/Default.aspx#...

just my opinion...good luck=]
