Sierra says: The TM-Two is designed for the aggressive rider in mind. This boot is stiff for boot-to-board responsive precision at high-speeds, but also has an articulating cuff so it can still flex smoothly for any pre-loading or quick maneuvers at slower speeds. Constructed with STI Evolution Foam to reduce weight and to give a cushion feel for shock-absorbency makes this boot great for any hard...

Sierra Says: The Driver X is the stiffest, most supportive boot in Burtons lineup. We recommend this boot primarily for the hard-carving speed demon who needs a solid boot to transfer the maximum amount of energy. It also works well in the halfpipe. Burton Says: Balls-out power from pipe to powder. Loud and fast, the Driver X is like listening to Slayer on a plush pair of studio headphones. Wh...

Sierra Says: The new Ion is a whole different boot than the previous models. With too many new features to describe, the Burton Ion is reinventing the way snowboard boots are being made. With more comfort, strength, and performance than last year, it is no wonder why most Burton pros decide to ride the Ion over any other boot in the world. Burton Says: Game chargers wanted. Straight up reinve...

Sierra says: The 2009 SLX is the most advanced boot in snowboarding. It is comfortable, supportive, responsive, and durable pretty much everything you could possibly want in a boot. The Imprint 5 liner is loaded with first-rate technology including the ability to mold to your foot like a sock. Plus, the SLX is equipped with the NEW SpeedZone Lacing System which is twice as strong as last year ...

Sierra says: The Malamute is a very stiff boot meant for an aggressive advanced all-mountain freerider. This boot is rigid to the point where if you want a boot to respond to every movement you make this boot will. It's stiff but also has good padding and even better heel hold. This is because of the internal ankle strap in the boot, which locks your whole foot down. It is a powerful boot for...

Sierra says: The Optima is Salomon women's stiffest boot making it great for the aggressive intermediate to advanced women rider whom likes to take on the whole mountain. This boot has speed laces for convenience and a Bio Custom Fit liner for a better custom foot feel. The Optima is wired (literally) to attach to a separate heating box to keep the boot warm at all times for those who get co...

Sierra says: The Synapse is an aggressive versatile boot for the intermediate to advanced all-mountain freerider. This boot is as stiff as a boot can be while staying very comfortable. The Bio Custom Fit Liner and Ortholite Footbed offer great cushion, but the outer shell is stiff for great response. The speed lacing system allows for quick and easy lace up for increased time on the mountain. Als...

Sierra says: The newest pro model from Vans comes in the form of the Andreas Wiig boot. This boot is stiff for big-mountain aggressive riding. Whether freestyle riding or freeriding, this boot performs great in both aspects depending on the riders flex preference when riding. It has superior heel hold, support, and comfort provided by the Quadfit Asym-X thermal liner and TPR footbed. We recommend...

Sierra says: The very stiff and aggressive boot for the all-mountain free-ride guy. The Contra gives a reliable amount of response in any situation, such as through thick tree runs, or when shreddin gnarly steep cliff runs. The Cork footbed, 3D molded tongue, Quadfit Custom Thermal Liner, and Boa Tongue Guides offer the up-most tightening precision and snug comfort fit for riders. We recommend thi...
