					<description><![CDATA[Since the winter of 1994, Vans has been utilizing their footwear experience to build snowboard boots that are a reflection of Vans deep boardsports heritage.  Vans understands the need to ride but also a boot that will perform for you so you can enjoy each turn.  The boots continue to be developed and durable to the rider looking for a long season of winter. Vans brings to the table the flex control system with removable tongue stiffeners that allow riders to custom tune their boot flex.  Boots also feature the recco avalanche system  to help assist in the location of avalanche victims in select boots in the line and the outlast technology which helps keep riders comfortable by absorbing body heat when too much is created.  Vans also offers a range of outsoles, footbeds and liners for their boots.  Vans offers a range of BOA technology from focus to double to hybrid to coiler to boa power cuff. Vans Infuse Combines a classic outdoor style infused with Vans DNA. Equipped with premium materials and performance features, including the new Hybrid BOA Closure System, the Infuse is the perfect choice for the rider who demands the very best.

					<description><![CDATA[One of the most important components to a good day on the mountain is what protects and cushions your feet. Determined by fit, a suitable snowboard boots gives you an amazing day on the mountain without knowing it. Of course quality and durability go hand in hand with the decision process. Since I won&#8217;t review multiple brands of snowboard boots, I asked my friends and readers to share how their boots have been holding up for quality, durability and overall thoughts on a variety of boots. Here&#8217;s six snowboarders sharing their boot stories complete with pictures. Brian from Colorado Brand/Model: Salomon F22s Days: 93 Thoughts: Initially chosen because of the smaller footprint of the F22s (welded liner). I didn&#8217;t really like riding wide boards so picking a smaller boot was the natural choice (had a stint with risers as well). Despite having a narrow footbed that isn&#8217;t a natural fit for my feet, I&#8217;d still buy them again in a heartbeat. Perhaps I&#8217;d look into some custom orthotics to help with foot arch while riding but that&#8217;s about it. Condition: Currently still in very functional shape. There&#8217;s wear across the front where the laces rub on the tongue but nothing [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[100 days can seem like a lot or a little depending on how many days you ride each season. Over the past couple years, only a couple products have endured the 100 day mark. After 100 days they get the perspectives post to identify how they look after so many days, how durable they are and what the wear/tear looks like. It&#8217;s not so much a usual review but it is a judge of quality. I&#8217;ve been riding the Vans Veil&#8217;s (used to be Omni&#8217;s) model for almost ten seasons now. Since boots are such an important part of your snowboard gear, I have chosen to stay with the model that fits my feet to perfection and focus on other reviews (snowboards, bindings, softgoods) for those less tied to fit.  Last year after writing the 100 day perspective, Vans added me to their wear test program. Basically I get to ride the next season&#8217;s boots, document the wear/tear after so many days and give them feedback. So for the 2010/11 season I was riding the 2011/12 Vans Veils in order to give feedback. This year the Vans Veils received over 100 days on snow and were ridden from December to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When it comes to designing snowboard boots, DC designers blend advancements in their snowboard boot technology with a skate inspired focus on styling.  They understand a boots true performance can only be felt when you have a seamless fit from your foot in the liner and in in the liner in the shell which you can see in their Golden Last features like smaller overall foot prints, in-step reduction, toe box volume reduction, narrowed heel cup, anatomically correct, forward lean and defined J-bars. For the 2012 season, DC introduces two new closure systems (Constrictor Hybrid Closure System and Winch System) to hold feet firmly in place for better feel and performance.  On the higher end models, Genuine leather has been used on Status, Ceptor SE and Super Park SE this season.  Other features include Aerotech to keep the feet comfortable and fresh smelling all season.  Designers have built in molded vents that release steam through openings in the liner and shell.  An added bonus of that technology is the anti-microbial material that keeps boots from getting stinky. DC Judge A part of DC&#8217;s snow heritage, the Judge is back and better than ever.  Packed with features and the go-to boot [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last summer I purchased a new pair of 08-09 Vans Veil to be my main snowboard boot this winter and they just recently surpassed the 100th day on snow which means they get 100 day perspective to see how well they&#8217;ve held up through countless days on snow riding.  Most snowboard companies make products that last for the average rider…giving about 30-50 days on snow. [singlepic id=9337 w=400 h=267 float=] The Vans Veils (used to be Omni&#8217;s) have been my main snowboard boot since 02-03 and I&#8217;ve always gone back to them because I know the stiffer flex will last a whole season, the quality of Vans and BOA will work for the 100 day rider and the fit is exactly what I want in a snowboard boot. [singlepic id=9334 w=400 h=267 float=] The major wear damage to my Veils is on the left inner liner where the inside liner material rubs up against velcro and over 100 days has worn down the inner liner to basically nothing in that one spot. [singlepic id=9335 w=400 h=267 float=] The Vans Veils feature a dual BOA system which is what I prefer on the mountain, lower and upper BOA to keep it [&#8230;]]]></description>

I ride bikes and make bags when I am not designing snowboard equipment or traveling. My power animal is the turtle frog, the best of all hybrid animals. Shay: What is your job title? Treu: I’m the Ride boot development engineer. It’s slightly cooler than it sounds! Shay: Did your parents question your job choice? Treu: No never, they are super supportive of the lifestyle. When I was young they would take me out of school to got to Utah for a month in the winter to ski and snowboard. As I got older they made it easy for me to go riding whenever I needed to, even if I had school. That hasn’t changed with my job in the industry. They are always talking to people at the mountain and reporting back to me on how they like the product. It’s great. Shay: What was your first set up? Treu: My first set up was a long time ago. It was a Burton Elite 150 with the 1 piece bindings where the highbacks didn’t [&#8230;]]]></description>
