The Ride Sash Boa Snowboard Boots

It is a common belief throughout the ski and snowboard community that the boot is the most important part of the ski or snowboard set up.  Here at SlopeStyle: Ski and Ride we feel the same.  Some people think it's the snowboard, ski, or even the bindings that make the equipment; but if you think about it, without a decent boot, you wouldn't even be able to make it down the mountain.  The boot provides people with the support they need to relieve strain and protect their legs, while also giving people the ability to turn quicker, safely.  This brings me to my point, I recently got a new pair of snowboard boots, and I am eager to share my observations with you.  

The Ride Sash, is absolutely my favorite snowboard boot right now.  It falls under the stiffer side of mid-flex, so it gives you extra support to enhance hard-charging ability, while still being soft enough to walk around in with ease.  The sole of the Sash has enough tread to allow excellent traction while walking through, snow, slush, and, to an extent, ice.  The BOA Coiler lacing system, allows people to get that lusted for, extra tightness that just cannot be satisfied with laces.  You are able to get the boots so tight you can just about cut off circulation.  And when you're itching to feel your toes again, you can just pop the BOA Coiler forward and you'll, just about, instantly get feeling back.  The Sash has a comfortable calf adjuster for us ladies, with lower calves.   One of the most notable features of the Sash, along with the BOA Coiler, is the Intuition liner.  Intuition liners can be 100% heat molded to your feet, literally flattening and expanding to the contours of your feet and legs.  Every single one of us at SlopeStyle uses an Intuition liner, whether we're skiers or snowboarders.  With the Intuition liner people are able to get the super tight performance fit without sacrificing comfort.

All of these awesome features create for an incredibly fun and comfortable trip to the mountain.  I've had my boots, for a little while now, and I couldn't be happier.  I'm an intermediate snowboarder, and they provide me with comfort and support that are helping me to become a more confident and competent rider.
