nike doesn't belong in snowboarding. I fully agree with angry.

The ones that fit your feet.

everybody has different feet, so people feet fit better in different boots. Some are built wider than others etc...so I believe, as angry may agree, the best thing you can do is try as many boots as you can on...however, there are some brands that can be recommended over others...but in the end, it's what fits your foot best.

I like the Nike's ... they are very comfy ... I used them 47 days this year.

bad stuff:
they are cold whenever it get pretty cold haha
they dont really get wet though... just cold
they are pretty bulky [pack out a shit load]
most likely being made by underaged kids

good stuff
comfy
no pressure points
hardly anyone has them
look good
its nike...
lacing system is pretty solid... no complaints ... lasted 47 days ...so far

btw I did have to adjust my bindings compared to my other boots [total opposite... Salomon F22's... got them 0.5 size too small... hurt like hell when doing jumps] . Nike's when you buy them are at least one size bigger [for women], thats how wide/ bulky the nike's are. I still think that Salomon's boots are the shit. The 2008- 2009 line just looked freakin' bad... the 2010 line is a bit better... last years' woman's line really was the pits. I mean. I love Salomon, but I just could not get over spending over $250 for such ugly looking boots. Thank God this year their design team seems to have been listening to their customers and created boots that are visually a bit more attractive, plus the same comfort as you are accustomed to from Salomon...their boots are really top of the line. However I nearly switched to Celsius boots... but there was nowhere in NYC to actually try them on...btw: the 32 boots do look sweet this year ... especially the men's line... I kinda like the look of the skiers: two different colored boots ... hahaha easy to recognize which one is left or right ... but thats only for the shop kids they told me, but if you have a friend with the same shoe size... you should def. go for it!

[ok, I might be biased because I fancy Joe and Sexton and uh..... Scotty Vine is the one of the nicest guys I have ever met ]

Yes because if your boots look bad you'll ride like shit. I want my boots to have Unicorns farting rainbows that say It's only gay if you push back. As long as they fit who cares.

I wear DC's cuz their boots are wider and I have wide feet, making pressure points a huge issue with many different boot brands. Although DC Snow isn't the biggest part of their company, it doesn't mean that they aren't putting out good product. I wear the Ghosts or Park boots, both of which are super durable, supportive, and the cushioning is great. I never actually got to try on the Nikeboots, but I thought if they fit anything like they look, they'd be pretty comfy boots.
