Sick riding and dope video!

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@MountainMac88 much appreciated

Been on my Van Auras (BOA) for almost 10 years... A little packed out now ofc, but I'll still use them on my buttering days. They're just so comfy.

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@PhamVans Vans is definitely known for that comfort!!!

[@TheBrentonTaylor]

Does your boa system come loose a lot? I bought them last week and every run or two they come loose. My ankle is getting cooked.

[@oldmanwintereight]

@ never had that problem, might take your boots & board to your local shop and have them check out your BOAs and how they fit in your bindings, I know sometimes the winged high backs can pop em loose but that’s the only thing I’ve ever seen

[@pimmeelhuysen]

I love these boots. First day very comfy. However after 30 days the stiffness became a bit less. And after a few runs I have to tighten the BOAs again. Next pair going to be a bit stiffer. Still an awesome boot

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@pimmeelhuysen 👍

[@Barbrutto]

same problem here I have to tighten up every time

[@TheBrentonTaylor]

How do you keep them tight? I reckon they come loose every run or two my ankle is getting smashed. ​@oldmanwintereight

[@Barbrutto]

@@TheBrentonTaylor I found out that with snowboard boots you need to get them 2 size smaller, mine are one size bigger 🤦🏻

[@oldmanwintereight]

@ they stay tight, the BOA only loosens if you pull the knob and unclick it from its locked position

[@75endi]

I have a pair bought last year. Very comfortable except for a bit of a pressure point on my high arch, probably due to too much cranking of the bindings

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@75endi yeah, bindings strap position can make a huge difference. Even adjusting the strap in or out 1 hole can make a big difference sometimes.

[@or-ian6973]

Vans have great insoles compared to a lot of other brands. I've been rocking these boots for four years now. Definitely middle road on the stiffness. Very comfy and warm. Little bulky.

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@or-ian6973 insoles are definitely some of the best out there!

[@_-0_x_-_p_0-_]

I’ll be @ Crystal at the end of Jan. I’ll say “hey” if I see you there!

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@_-0_x_-_p_0-_ hells yeah!!!

[@JonathanShadwrick]

I wish they would make these in a size 15

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@JonathanShadwrick yeah, selection in 15+ can definitely be hard.

[@mitchellrewiako5114]

what binding/ toe strap is that? looks sick!

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@mitchellrewiako5114 haha, those are my Franken-bindings. The toe strap is from the old Burton Bootleggers

[@Lairdboy666]

Nice! 👍

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@Lairdboy666 thanks brotha!

[@Daniivore]

Can I take the Inshoe out of this one?

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@Daniivore yezzir, the liner and insole are both removable

[@Matthew_Pearson]

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@Matthew_Pearson those are the Thirtytwo TM pants-> thirtytwo.com/collections/outerwear/products/mens-tm-pant-white-camo-8130001189-124

[@nickkarsseboom5707]

Do you wear also normal vans sneakers in size 10,5? Because im also a 10,5 in vans. Still debating which snowboard shoes to pick for my next trip in Austria (I can only go one week a year). Currently using a setup with a burton process off axis, (old) burton mission bindings in size L. Would you recommend still using size L bindings? Im considering size M bindings from union but im not sure. Any recommendations?

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@nickkarsseboom5707 I am a 10.5 in most skate and athletic shoes. Burton does he some overlap in sizing fior M & L bindings so either one will work with a 10.5. Personally, I prefer to go with the Medium for a little snugger fit, but never had problems with the size L either

[@brandonnadeau4134]

I've been riding the Vans Aura Pros for about 6 years now I am size 10.5 for vans street shoes and the boots as well. I run the Union Force Classics size M bindings. I absolutely love my setup!
