Yeah I'm still riding my old Northwaves.. 5 1/2 seaons and
around 250-300 days. Last year I got a couple of recs for Burton Driver-X and Vans/32 BOA style boots. Its sale time of the year now so I'm ready to look but I'm a little concerned with some comments I've read about the Driver-X being poorly made. With the ever increasing season pass I really don't want to be dumping dough on boots again in two seasons so seeking comments on how well any of those boots have held up for you. Hopefully you have around 100 days on them. Cheers Mike |

I love my 32's (TM-1) from 3 years ago and they're still riding strong. -- Stu |

Cheers Mike Hi Mike, I am riding my old Malamutes for over five seasons as well. These are the black fiber ones with red details/highlights. I had to pick up some new Malamutes for my son at Nationals as his Malamutes fatigued and packed out causing arch support pain during the competition. These are/where the black leather like ones, and where a little over two (2) seasons old. I was warned away from Thirty-Two's from fellow competitor. He stated that while they where stiff and light, he had two pairs in for repair. I am going to look for some New/Old stock Malamutes. Chris I've had the Van Contra, which is BOA for 4 years now. I ride about 12-15 days a season and they are still in excellent shape, original cables, etc. Extremely happy with them. |

I could almost get away with just replacing the liners but even the outer shells have gotten a little more flexy than I like. Sorry the delay in response.. I had to reload articles for soem reason it kept saying nothing new. mike |
