These are decent boots for a beginner boarder. They dont have an inside liner, since the liner is "built in" to the actual boot. This makes it easy to get in and out of the boots--like a regular boot would be. I didn't like that the only way to tighten the boots is the lace/shoestrings. This means, the laces would loosen up after a couple runs, and then I would have to tighten my boots again. I've used these probably about 4-5 times now, and feel like they are starting to lose their shape. But, I would say I am an intermediate boarder and probably put more wear on these than a beginner would. I bought these because I had a $75 gift card for O.co... but, if you want a more quality, longer lasting boot... I would say, wait til end of the winter season for the sales on the better name brands and better built boots.

This is a fairly good boot for an intermediate snowboarder. My sons are 11 and they both got a pair. Its not top quality but the way they grow out of these boots every season I wasn't going to pay too much for a pair. My boys like them and they worked very well last season.
