Lol rentals aren't even real boots though 😅 , so to compare Burtons top end to the literal lowest of the low is kind of funny . Vans are great but your video is whack af
I had Daniel Franck's first pro model Vans in 2000. I put 350ish days on them, and the only reason I had to give them up was the soles literally fell off on the first day of the season, on the walk to the lift. LOVED them.
Yeah if they are 5 years old then they will be very moulded to your brother's feet, which I assume are fairly similar to yours. That's why you feel like you have more control with the old ones
Jokes on you I have 5 year old burton boots that i put 1000+ hours into and they look and feel brand new! No holes or missing laces. And I took park lessons for 3 years on them.
In Europe we got Northwave boots. they make nice MTB shoes also. I tried Burton twice but NW give you nice tech, materials and fits right. Of course less pricing
My Kaiju's were one of my favorite purchases ever. Felt like supportive slippers walking around the lot and apres, but just never was able to get my heel locked down after a quick packout. Got Burton Rulers and they are extremely uncomfortable to walk around in undone and I've had maybe 3 total days where they were just right, not too loose or making my feet numb
I rode ankle high steel toe workbooks that were hanging 2 inches off the edge my first season and had a blast. If you think your boots are the problem, then you're overthinking it.
I’ve been riding Burton ION’s since they were first introduced in 2005 – on about my 4th pair. They are perfect for split boarding. But it’s a personal thing
personally I like Ride for boots, but for the same reasons that this man likes Vans. tried Thirtytwo and Burton before finding the brand that fits my feet and riding style to a T. Try on all the boots at the store before leaving with a new pair
A singular brand will have high end, mid range and entry level products. High end Burtons are great but their lower range stuff can have issues that can be deal breakers for some. The important thing is to not become a brand fan boy and to instead judge each individual product on its own merits, regardless of the manufacturer or the history.
This guy has no clue what he’s talking about and if you just go snowboarding and stop worrying about your boots you will get good enough to not need to complain. See how that works?
Comparing a rental boot to a typical retail boot is unfair. A rental boot is going to be less stiff, and higher volume (giving you less performance). The width allows a wider range of feet to fit, and less stiff allows a more beginner oriented boarder an easier time learning. Having a properly fitted boot that meets both your comfortability and performance needs beats even the best of rental boots 10/10 times. Brand has almost nothing to do with it

long live jake but f burton
Why tho? Actually explain or don’t post. Lazy. There are other brands to consider here. Vans fit profile is definitely not for all ppl
What is the difference between rational snowboard boots and snow shoes?
Salomon for me 🙌🏼
Thirtytwo has also nice boots

My vans fell apart in 2 years so you have that to look forward to

Personally I’ve tried Burton’s, Vans, thirty two, and DC. Been snowboarding for 10 years and 32boots have by far been the best.
I have the Aura Pro boots and I love them.

I'm sticking to Burton just because of this stupid video.
Kook can't carve on perfectly groomed west coast butter and blames it on Burton lmao

looks like a skill issue to me…
32 is a great brand for boots also
vans has some of the worst quality boots. not sure about newest rage and if they have improved but at least until 2023 models they were trash
I just got a new pair of vans boots this year and I love them, best boots I’ve worn and I’m 48 years old.

For me adidas and nike are best boots. Adidas is chiper so it's my choice (no boa, only laces)
vans are super uncomfortable, dc and 32 are the best
This is the dumbest way to rate a brands boot.
Nothing to do with boots
Ya blame it on your equipment.
I have brand new $600 step on boots from Burton I love them

Love mine! had single boa vans before, 2 dials = full boot control!
Burtons.😂
32 boots are the best. No question…
BOA are a nightmare tho

My Burton wide boots still don’t seem wide enough
I can’t tighten the top strap across my foot without having foot pain
Never take advice from someone who doesn't wear a helmet.
