no question vinylvillian...that is radical idea. articluation is the shit...everyone's on it this year, but haven't seen anyone carry it through to the liner. guess the boot is pretty flexy though?
trouble with salomans is you're gonna score low on the steeze points, but if you can still feel your toes by the end of the day its prob not a bad trade off.
my instinct when i saw the new 32 range was pretty much...meh! think they look a bit shit, but might be better in the flesh. maybe they spent too much time on their outerwear.
only other brand i'd consider would be burton, simply as they've been at it so long and i totally agree that boots are the most critical piece to get right. how are the sl-10's? always thought they were one of burton's best lookers, but aren't they +£200? with liners thats £400!
just seen this...apparently the first landed 1620 on film.

personally i'd prefer a styled out grabless straight air over this gymnastics but can't deny its progress
