Sierra says: With a little more support than the Sapphire, the Emerald is a fashion-forward, all-around boot for riders who want lightweight comfort, mid-range support and standout style.

Foot Shape: Average to Wide Flex: Rate 2 Boot Review by Mike: My first pair of snowboard boots were Burton Freestyles. These boots have come a long way since I pioneered them.

Sierra says: The Moto is a boot for any type of rider whether you are new to the sport or just don't want to spend a lot of money and still want to get the best value in a boot.

Sierra Says: One of the hardest things about snowboarding is lacing my boots. When asked to try Salomon's Speed Powerlace system, I jumped for joy.

If you don't like to lace or tie your boots, this may be your best bet, having the fastest speedlace system around. To lace these all you have to do is pull up on a handle, pretty cool stuff.
