					<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. Features premium leather, [&#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[Since 1966, Vans has stood for authenticity in lifestyle, music and action sports through their footwear.  Over the years, the brand has gone through different owners and is now owned by VF Corp.  Under the umbrella lies Pro-Tec which was founded in 1973 and is the original action sports protective gear brand.   The same interests that started the company have continued to grow with the name and the expansion of Vans into clothing, footwear and snowboard gear.  I&#8217;ve owned Vans boots for a decade for their durability and worn their shoes for even longer, every step of the way. It may look like your typical office building from the outside but once you get closer the Vans checkered image is all over the headquarters in Cypress, CA. Upon entering the doors at Vans, a huge Vans photograph greets you with a pleasant reminder of the history behind the company and the development of the brand through the So-Cal skateboarding scene in the 70&#8217;s.  We waited in the lobby for our tour guide, Vans/Pro Tec product developer Jesse For the past 18 years, Vans has utilized their 45 year footwear experience to build snowboard boots that are a reflection of [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Shay: Tell us a little bit about yourself Tristan: I was born and raised in Tennessee. I grew up on a farm (in the boondocks) until 6th grade. Then I moved to Nashville, which is where I started skating. Skating changed my life. I stopped playing traditional sports and skated every day. Skating eventually brought me to snowboarding and the love of both of these sports (and boredom) brought me to California, which is where I reside now. I live in Venice beach and work at Vans making snowboard boots. I also started surfing when I moved to Venice. Shay: What is your job title? Tristan: Snowboard Boot Developer [singlepic id=6323 w=400 h=533 float=] Shay: Did your parents question your job choice? Tristan: Never. Shay: What was your first set up? Tristan: Supernatural 158 (Mervin) , Drake F50 Bindings and Northwave boots Shay: What is your current set up? Tristan: -Last season I rode a couple of different Arbor boards, with the Wasteland being one of my favorites. They are located near my home in Venice Beach, CA. So, I know a couple of the guys over there and we try to keep it friendly. -Burton P1 bindings. -Vans boots [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Vans continues with their well established boot line from freestyle to freeride, multiple colors and multiple lacing systems in 2009-2010. A couple new additions to the line with the mens and womens aura boots and matlock. The aura boot gives a softer flexing boot with BOA Focus, something that I&#8217;ve seen more interest in. Jamie Lynn put his signature artwork on a Vans Boot in two artwork choices, the naked lady and eagle. In both men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s models there is a collaboration with POW (Protect our Winters) with the white/pow boot (also available in mens) with a percentage of proceeds going to help fund programs that work towards reversing the global warming crisis. For the women, the B4BC (Boarding for Breast Cancer) is the special edition black/B4BC Veil boot with a percentage of the proceeds going to raise awareness to the fight against breast cancer. Boobs are good, so supporting B4BC is good. Please take into consideration not all 2009-2010 Vans products are showcased.    Men&#8217;s Boots   Vans Wiig Boot Color: White/Blue/Plaid [singlepic id=4692 w=266 h=400 float=] Vans Wiig Boot Color: Black/Black [singlepic id=4694 w=266 h=400 float=] Vans Wiig Boot Color: Red/Black [singlepic id=4695 w=266 h=400 float=]   Vans [&#8230;]]]></description>
