Do Salomon snowboard boots differ from year to year?
I recently purchased the 2011 Salomon Pearls and I’m wondering if I were to buy an older model. Say from 2010 or 2009, would there be a difference in fit? The Salomon’s were the only boot that felt right but I’m wondering if all Salomon boots fit the same?
As a side note, does anyone know the difference between the 2010 Ivy’s in comparison to the 2011 Pearls?
Generally the companies try to make improvements every year based on the feedback they get from buyers. My advice would be to search both boots and compare specs. But it looks like the 2011 Pearls, and pearls in general, are softer than the Ivys.
I’m with josh dude on this one, usually on snowboard boots you buy the same size as your show or a little bit smller. There is always some variance with manufacturers. That being said, you should always try whaterevr boots you are buying first. Mainly because You have to find the right fit for you, think of it this way. You are going to be wearing those boots all day. And the bindings are going to be putting pressure on your feet while you ride, so you want to get boots that are very confortable. Otherwise they can hurt like hell, especially when you are just breaking them in.
But if you have tried a specific model before, go ahead and buy them. Many people jump from store to store trying boots and then buy the ones they like online.
Salomon boots suit people with narrow feet and slim ankles. So if you have wide feet they wont be good for you. Whenever buying boots you always have to try before you buy like youve said yourself, and comfort and fit are always the most important thing to look for when buying boots. Salomon do make really good quality boots though if they fit your feet well you cant go wrong with them, Good luck.
Opinions on Salomon boots?
I’m looking to buy new snowboard boots, and was wondering about the quality of Salomon brand boots? I don’t have any experience with this brand, but the fact that they make a lot of ski stuff makes me wonder if their snowboard gear is as good as companies who specialize in snowboarding only. I’m specifically looking at the Salomon Ivy boots – http://www.dogfunk.com/dogfunk/SAL1418/Salomon-Ivy-Snowboard-Boot-Womens.html
Any reviews or comments on Salomon boots would be greatly appreciated.
Salomon makes pretty good stuff.
Burton is the big name brand for snowboard gear, but I wore Salomon boots (I think they were Salomon Malamutes) for a few seasons and was very comfortable. The boots held up well and were the perfect stiffness for me.
I would recommend trying that exact model of boot before you buy it though. Buying online is great, but you want to make sure you have the right fit and desired stiffness. And all boots run a little different on size. Also, make sure your boots fit your bindings. I bought Vans boa boots a few years ago and they wouldn’t fit into my Ride bindings.
But there’s nothing wrong with Salomon boots. It’s a quality brand.
How is the fit of Salomon Dialogue boots?
Planning to buy some Salomon Dialogue mens snowboard boots. Just wondering how the fitment is, compared to other brands and sizing. Don’t worry, I’ll try them on before I buy them…
What size should i get for my salomon snow boots?
I just bought a new board and bindings and i am thinking of buying the salomon maori snow boots. Im a size 12.5 – 13 in regular shoes. What size ahould i get with these snowboard boots that will fit snug?
How much do salomon snowboard boots pack out?
I had to return a pair of Ivys because the laces were broken but i couldnt exchange them for the same style..so i got a pair of F20Ws in the exact same size but these make my toes curl a little bit..does anyone know if they will pack out in the toes or if i can heat mold F20Ws? i had to buy them online because stores dont stock my small 4.5 size i really dont want to return another pair but i need these to fit my foot a little better..
You fine. They’ll pack out slightly but it’s better to have a bit of bunching then too much room in ur boots. You just want to make sure ur not gonna get cramps in ur feet
