Flow Rival QuickFit Snowboard Boots 2011 |
Retail: $200 (35% off)
It's all about the ride with the Flow Rival Quick-Fit Snowboard Boots. The Rival is a performance driven, supportive all mountain boot which is perfect for riders looking to tackle the whole mountain. The Rival Quick-Fit system offers comfort and convenience. Get the micro-adjustability of 2-zone Quick-Fit closures for maximum comfort and minimal bulk. A fully heat moldable liner adds customization to your unique foot type to ensure your boot fits great from the first chair to the ride home. Flow added a full ankle harness system this year for performance enhancing ankle support, and redesigned the boot's lower to integrate a full-length internal EVA midsole. This provides consistent cushioning to the entire foot with the Lo-Pro Outsole for a lighter, more comfortable boot.

Comments about Flow Rival QuickFit Snowboard Boots 2011:
All mountain rider. VERY comfortable boot with mid to light flex. Biggest con: the lacing system. There is really no way to get the boot as tight as I want without feeling like I'm going to break the string by pulling too hard. BOA system is better.

Comments about Flow Rival QuickFit Snowboard Boots 2011:
I'm a Snowboard Instructor and ride 6-7 days a week. I alternate boots daily or even mid-day if they get wet inside.
The first day I wore them for around 4 hours then changed them to give my feet a break. Second day I didn't notice any real pain and wore them around 10 hours. After 4 or 5 times wearing them they seam broken in and are pretty comfortable.
The only reason I didn't rate these a 5 is because they are a pretty stiff boot so for most people that mainly ride park they may not be right depending on your preferences. Also, even though I prefer freeriding, I generally wear a softer boot. Keep in mind, I have very strong legs and proper form so I can get away with a softer boot and not loose my edge under high speed turns when the boots give a little.
I like the quick fit system. The inner lacing is part of the boot and actually does something more then tighten the bootee around your foot.
The only negative thing I'll say is there's no Velcro on the tongue, so sometimes the tongue moves around little. I don't notice it until I take them off or adjust them though.
I recommend these to those that ask and my students.
Service and delivery comments:
The boots came in the time frame I expected.
I thought the shipping could have been a few bucks cheaper, but I'm a cheap/broke SOB and it was only a few bucks.

Comments about Flow Rival QuickFit Snowboard Boots 2011:
These are a solid intermediate all mountain boot. They feel more skate-like and to me at least appear not as thick as some of others which I've found as a plus. They've been solid for my resort adventures, but if you're someone going seriously steep or lapping the park you may want something different.
