I hear ya, The DC store is across the street from the Burton store so I'll go into both and try different styles then buy them on line.

I have DC Balance boots and they are super comfy. I don't mind the lace; just do it once and it holds tight all day. :dunno:

Those new crank the laces knobs are dope, but you need separate tension for upper (ankle) and lower (foot) laces, or at least I do. h: I'd also like to wait a couple years to see how they hold up to abuse before buying a new product like that. But numb frozen fingers ftl, it's a great concept.

I landed the first 360 i tried this season! It was backside and just off a small jump but i didn't think i was going to pull off the first one i tried. So i didn't even try anymore that night and just got back into practicing some boardslides on small rails and boxes. I need to learn how to spin on a box.
