Salomon F20 Snowboard Boot - Men's Review

Super light and comfortable

"These boots are the lightest/lowest profile boots out there. The F20s have a slightly lower arch support than the F22 and actually feel a little stiffer due to the materials used. They are very comfortable for long periods and the Power-Lace Pro works great (no more blisters). The heel cup is good for people with narrower feet (like me; very supportive without being too tight. These boots were made to go with the Relay bindings and the interface is near perfect."

Salomon F20 Snowboard Boot - Men's Review

Well done

"Very well made boots, the heel hold is the best of any boot I have tried on (great if you have problems with heel lift, like I do). The Fusion outsole really is smaller than other boots, I wear a size 10 and can fit them into a s/m binding no problem. The lacing system is a breeze and lets you customize the fit with the, uh, locking lace guide things. That said, this boot is definitely soft, considerably more-so after breaking it in when compared to trying it on in the store (to me it felt decently stiff in the store, but after 10 min of wearing it it softened up a lot). The shock absorption is less than other boots in this price range due to the minimized outsole design, but is still cushiony enough to stomp big landings. These boots do not stretch out as much a most other boots, after 3 days of hard riding they had maybe stretched out 1/4 of a size, so dont buy them too small thinking they will pack out b/c they wont...That said, if you want a soft boot with incredible heel hold and small profile to reduce heel/toe drag, then this boot is the best out there."

Salomon F20 Snowboard Boot - Men's Review

best boots i have owned...

"this boot is awesome.. the lacing system is a breeze and they are way comfortable. the liner is sewn into the boot itself so it makes the entire boot alot smaller. the stiffness is perfect they are on the softer side but they dont hurt your feet if you go free ride all day.. only downside is they dont like to dry out because you cant remove the liner, so get some old tubes socks and fill them with rice, put them in the boot over night they will be dry by morning.. not my idea but works great."

nice consruction, bad pull handle

"the plastic pull handle broke the first time i tightened the boot, and the warranty process is fairly arduous. other than that the boots are great. i wear 11.5's and the 11-11.5's fit PERFECT, plus they reduce the length and let me ride narrower boards."

Salomon F20 Snowboard Boot - Men's Review

Great boot if you want to shred like the B-Man.

"I originally ordered the Salomon Maori boots, but before I could wear them, my dog chewed off my foot, so I had to return them. I prayed to the all-mighty Moose, and you guessed it....my foot regenerated overnight. Then I saw that the Salomon F20 boots were on sale, so I ordered them. These were even more comfortable than the Maori, real nice. Very snug around the ankle to prevent heel lift during toe-side edging. I was a little worried about the outer leather making noise while rubbing up against my bindings, but I couldn't hear it when shredding on the slopes. These boots are shaved down on the outside, so they look smaller than they are, and that's a bonus in terms of toe/heel drag. The lacing system rocks very easy to do, even with cold fingers. The liner of the boot has improved over the Salomon boots of the past, with the part that contacts your shin now fitting under the part of the liner that goes around your calf = more comfortable and no abrasion to your shin I used to get a blister after a long day in my old Salomon boots. All in all, def worth the cash."
