By Shred Betty from Vermont on 01/21/2009 Pros: Adjustability, Comfortable, Easy Lacing System, Quality Construction, Warm Best Uses: All Mountain, Park Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: After trying some rental Burtons and trying on a few other styles of snowboard boot in the store, I was extremely pleased when the Salomon F20's arrived. They are so much lighter than most other boots and fit way better. I have a wide, but "low volume" foot and a very narrow heel. Most other boots cause tons of heel lift. This is the only boot that doesn't do that for me!
One nice thing about the Fusion system is that it makes your foot a half-size or more smaller in the boot - great so you don't worry about toe drag if your feet are on the larger size like mine.
These boots are so comfortable, I almost forget I'm wearing snowboard boots. You can lace them up tight for a very responsive/stiff fit, or loose for a more flexible fit. I found the lacing system to be simple and quick. I didn't experience the problem with the tongue of the boot hitting in the wrong place, so not sure what's up with that - I imagine like any boot or shoe, there are going to be people for whom the fit is not great. But for me, I'm sold on the F20s.
The only thing I don't like? The prissy lace detail at the top of the boot and the pink accents. But, who cares? No one sees the top of your boot but you anyway.
By T-bird from Portland, ME on 11/21/2008 Pros: Adjustability, Easy Lacing System, Good Traction, Quality Construction Cons: Forms a painful crease, Poor Fit Describe Yourself: Advanced Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: When bending my foot, a crease occurred on top of my foot just below my toes. This would become painful after a short time.
Lightweight and surprisingly comfortable By Paddler Claire from Denver, CO on 11/19/2008 Pros: Adjustability, Comfortable, Easy Lacing System, Good Traction Best Uses: All Mountain, Downhill Describe Yourself: Advanced Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These boots are like wearing regular snowboots but even lighter. The stabilizer in the tonuge of the boot will hit your foot in a strange place if you don't pull it up all the way, but I have no complaints otherwise. The quick-lace system is fantastic. I don't even have to take my mittens/gloves off to make an adjustment.
