Thought I'd resurect this thread rather than starting a new one...I'm looking at geting a new pair of boots and have been looking at the Burton Rulers (good mix of flex, stiffness and cost) but can't find anywhere in Sheff now Slide's gone and the ski village burnt down so gonna have to go t'inteweb... I know buying boots is a minefield online so just wanted to see if anyone had any info on sizes that Burton boots come up? (i.e. should I be looking at going street size? Half up? Half down? Full up/down? )I wear a 9.5/10 street, 8.5 anasazi green, 10 walking boot.... So basicaly a 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5 are what I'm looking for...Cheers!:D
I would highly recommend https://www.freezeproshop.com/ in Edinburgh
The word on the street out here is that the newer Burton's are pish and break down/bag out really badly. (i.e. like 10 rides) I just had to replace my 11 year of Burton Ions, which served me well, but everyone I know said NO Burton and even the local bottfitter has stopped stocking them. I ended up with a pair of Deeluxe Viscous which are reputed to be, and seem, solid!
rocker shmocker. Demo one, i found them lifeless. Might be good in powder, but I felt it lacked any pop when turning, carving or ollying, felt like riding my old Burton Craig Kelly Air from late 90s. Possibly a good addition to a quiver, but wouldn't get one as an all round board. IMO anyway.
How stiff are the Dialogues? And how do they size up? Surfdome have em for a decent price right now....:D
Sound good.... Stiffer than the rulers and cheaper (and judging by Fultonius's info not as liable to turn into Ugg boots after a few days) - surfdome will also pay any return postage so reckon I'll order two pairs and send one back....Any recomendations on bindings? Looking for a stiffer all mountain type, too old for the park or pipe ... Was looking at the Rome Arsenals as a mid price solution (would love some of those Union carbon jobbies but the wallet ain't having none of that)... Also looking at Burton classics - these look ace (simple design, well stiff, bombproof) but seem to be marketed as a splitboard binding (not a bad idea if I ever got a splitty I suppose).... Any thoughts?Ta,:D
Don't really wanna go over £150 really (initial budget was boots and bindings for £250ish....very ish )...Been riding for over 20 years (sporadically) so wanting summat responsive rather than flexi really....
