Good Boot
I wanted to leave a positive comment because these boots lasted me basically a whole season where I snowboarded 2-3 a week for 3-4hrs and they're still in great condition. Going into my second season with them now.

Good But Wrong Buy.
The product looks really good. But I'd made a mistake and just bought a female shoes. Unfortunately I won't use it. So I'd love to change it for a male shoes.

Mostly Cons And Boa Broke
These are my second pair of snowboard boots and the first ones that have ever broken on me. I take very good care of my equipment as well. The pros are that I loved the feeling when I was riding. The boot allowed me too feel my way through jumps and powder. The cons were that the boots made my feet cold (compared to other boots), the tightening of the boot wasn't consistent throughout and the BOA broke on me after 1 and half years of riding - female riding at that!

They Look Great
These boots looked great and got lots of compliments from my kids but I had to return them bc the size was off. Otherwise highly recommend! I would recommend ordering true to size as I can tell they will stretch some once worn in

Do Not Buy
Do not buy these boots. After only half a season of use, the BOA has ripped out of the side of the boot. As others have said, they can't be repaired. They are unusable and I will have to buy new boots. Do not buy these boots. I got hurt at the beginning of last season and only used them twice and they broke two months into this season. Because I have had them longer than a year. Van's won't honor the warranty.

Broke In Less Than One Season :(
I bought these boots at the end of last season. I went on a ski trip at the very beginning of this season and the boa system completely tore out of the side. I brought them to a ski shop and they said that they were unrepairable. I only used these boots for normal snowboard use and took generally good care of them. Not to mention the base of the boots were too big for my Burton bindings so it often got stuck in the bindings. If you want a good quality boot go with a brand that has more experience making quality products.

Run 1/2 Size Small
Size up a half size from normal, I'm a standard 9 in all Vans women's shoes but had to return and order in 9.5. Will see how they do on the slopes!

Comfy Boots, But Size Up 1 Full Size!
I've been shopping around for snowboard boots for a while. All reviews suggested sizing up. I used the size chart on the Vans website but it told me to buy a 6.5. I wear a size 8 in shoes. I rolled the dice and bought an 8.5. They were too small around the toe. I've since returned them and bought a size 9. The boots are super comfy though and not too heavy on the foot. Size up a FULL shoe size for the best fit.

Order Larger Than Your Og Size !!!
I would have given these boots a five star if they shared a disclaimer that they fit small & are not true to size! I should have took the time to read previous reviews on other sites. Ensure you size up between half to one full size larger than your true to size foot!! Other wise I'd totally provide a 5 star for comfort, durability, and style! Would purchase again and, recommend. Loved the service I received from Vans

Comfiest Snowboard Boots
These boots are so comfy, after a couple of wears they feel like slippers. Really warm and the the fact that there's no laces make it super easy to use when you're wearing thick mittens/gloves etc. Definitely worth the money :)
