DC Scout BOA Snowboard Boots 2018

So I regret not realizing that these liners were heat-moldable before I processed a warranty claim on the product. Had I done this I may have been able to stretch out the life of the product. That being said, the boots had an issue with the stitching tearing on the tongue area, and it affected how snug the boot was fitting.

I ride frequently (over 50 days last season, maybe 1/4 of which were in these boots) and I think that for the long term it may have been more effective to add an BOA system that locks across the toes like in the Burton Step-On boots. However I also think you kind of get what you pay for by getting the low end BOA option. I'd give the boots I bought three stars overall but if they lasted longer they would probably be four stars considering the price and quality. They do lack a little bit in comfort and it took a long time to break them in so it didn't feel like knives were digging into my ankles.

DC was wonderful about processing the warranty and I honestly would rate them a 5 star company just for how they handled matters. I received a gift card for the value of the boots and am excited to buy some more DC gear. Make sure you take advantage of the heat-molding in your liners.
