Cool and comfortable boots

Very cool looking boots, they work well and the fit is perfect. ChatGPT suggested me to get them and so far I’m happy. I like that the liners are heat mouldable. Make sure to order to your actual shoe size.

Hello Samir,

Shout out to ChatGPT for the solid recommendation! We’re happy to hear the Shifty BOAs are living up to the hype and that the heat-moldable liners are giving you that perfect fit.

Horrible

The BOA system broke the third day on the mountain. Cheap bull-caca.

Hello,

We are truly sorry to hear that your BOA system broke. This is definitely not the standard we aim for with our gear. We have shared your experience with our product team so they can look into this further.

Just hear me out

So far I went to the mountain two times my local mountain called Mountain High these boots the boas are already popping out and I need to constantly dial them in after every run and I've only been two times they feel like they're cheap Chinese made and I feel like I got ripped off and I already need to go buy new boots it really sucks because I am not rich and can't really afford to do that so now I have to ride this whole season with uncomfortable boots that hardly fit me right because at first they felt good until they broke in now I need a 10.5 instead of an 11 At first I felt good thought they were great then my second day towards the end I realized man I spent a lot of money on these boots just to have to keep doing this they freaking suck and I would not waste my money on these I wish this company would do something about it it's not like they're cheap or anything it's a good amount of money to be spent on some horrible boots that just are worthless I got them from zumies but its this company who makes the boots

Hello Roddie,

Thank you for your feedback, we’re truly sorry to hear about the issues with your BOA system. That is not the standard we set, and we completely understand your frustration. We’ve passed your report along to our product team so they can review this internally.

WORTHLESS

I just got these boots and have literally used them two times all day on the mountain, and I'm already so disappointed. I'm not rich either; I'm literally heartbroken at how horrible the quality of these boots is, and I'm stuck with them now. At first, they felt good and seemed like they would be solid. Then they broke in, and I need a 10.5 now; an 11 was too big. On top of that, everyone boasts how good ThirtyTwo is. Well, my boots already need to be checked every run, with the Boa popping out, and I haven't done anything—no falling, no abuse to them whatsoever. In my opinion, these are cheap Chinese boots. This company straight up robbed me of my money, and unfortunately, I'm going to have a bad season unless I spend $300 on boots again. FML.

Hey Roddie,

We appreciate you sharing your experience, though we are sorry the boots haven't met your expectations for durability. We strive for top products and service, so hearing this is disappointing. Your comments have been shared with our team to help us improve our quality control.

Comfort Meets Confidence

Super comfortable with a soft, forgiving flex. I wore them all day chasing around my son, yet they still provided solid stability and support when carving turns. Comfortable enough for casual riding, but dependable when you need control.

Hello Heberto,

Chasing the little ones around the mountain and still getting some solid carves in that’s what it’s about! Glad the Shifty BOA® boots are providing that perfect balance of comfort and support for you. Thanks for the review :)

Package was stolen

Never even got a chance to try out my new boots. Package was stolen from my door step by a porch pirate. Customer service didn't rectify the problem, didn't provide a refund, or ship me a new package.

Nothing Special

Excellent starter boot if you are just getting in to building your gear list, but be aware these are for sure a barebones boot. The tongue of the liner is definitely “shifty” as the name implies and I find it rotating around my ankle after 1 or two runs, and constantly have to adjust this to curb discomfort throughout the day. Even being an entry level pair, thirtytwo can definitely add some Velcro to curb this issue within the liner as they do with other pairs. After about 7 runs, the feet are achey and its time for the lodge to give the dogs a rest. Definitely going to find a new pair this year so I can last more time on the mountain

easilly the cheapest boots I have ever worn

even for the bottom of the line boot this aint worth a dime. i wish i could say you get what u pay for but this is much worse

I would actually like to review Thirty-Two’s customer service. One word, phenomenal! I ordered these boots for Christmas for my son and all was going well, out for delivery on 12/17. Then, no delivery and it sat it that status for days leading up until Christmas. The shipping company could not find the boots.

I contacted customer service via email, and although it took a few days to get back to me - understandably during Christmas, they went above and beyond and overnighted a replacement pair that arrived on Christmas Eve! Saving the day!

Interestingly, the original boots ended up being delivered back to their warehouse. So, it ended up being a win for all parties.

Thank you Thirty-Two! I know it’s crazy during the holidays but a company’s response during these busy times can make or break future customers. You all now have a new customer!

DO NOT PURCHASE THIRTYTWO ITEMS

DO NOT PURCHASE THIRTYTWO ITEMS ESPECIALLY SNOWBOARDING BOOTS WHICH ON BOTH BOOTS THE STITCHING COMES UNDONE
LOOK AT THE PHOTOS THEY ARE LIKE BRAND NEW AND THIRTYTWO ARE NOT INTERESTED AT ALL

Good quality and very comfortable boots. I am a US 9.5 MEN size and bought a size 10 and fits perfectly.

The boot is a little greener in person but all in all seems pretty sturdy. Added note I’m still pretty new to snowboarding so there’s that.

Boots fit a lot small to the size of my normal shoe but like the weight and feel of them!

HORRIBLE. The liner tongue shifts and causes pressure point pain. UNWEARABLE

I have had a lot of thirty two boots and loved them. But these are trash. The line tongue shifts and causes pressure points on my ankles and makes them so painful. I have to adjust my boots after 1-2 runs. Everyone else seems to love these boots so maybe mine are defective? I am considering sewing in velcro to hold everything in place. I would return them but I wore them and cant return them. Feels like I threw away $200

Generally a pretty solid fit.

The boots run a little snug, just on the toes.
Heat treating them got them a little closer to true size, but even after a month of wearing them (daily, I work on the mountain), they’re still a little tight. Suppose I should’ve went a size up.
The boa system itself is fantastic, although the right foot sticks a little, it’s not a concern and doesn’t affect how well they work.
The inner laces lag a bit toward full tightness.
Boots are super warm though and all the minor issues don’t outweigh the benefits, which match the price.

Great boots so far

4 rides in and the boots are doing great. Easy in, easy out. Comfortable. Only issue I'm having so far is the tongue of the liners keep slipping to the sides. That is the only issue so far and why I gave them 4 stars. I would figure that dropping $280 on boots would have a velcro hook or something to prevent this from happening. Going to fix the issue myself but like a said, pricey boot to have this happening. Other than that, great boot.

Solid

Great fit, I wear a 14 so boot fits are dicey to say the least. These fit great out of the box, I didn't need to heat them up. For a softer boot they are very responsive. Very warm, very comfortable, and the Boa system is great. I went Thirty Two on boots, pants, jacket, and first layer and am very stoked on all of it. That being said, the Boa **** bites into my leg every once in a while. It's easily fixed and I am very happy with my purchase.

Super satisfied customer

I recently started snowboarding, as all of my friends are very active in the sport, and they recommended ThirtyTwo as one of the best brands for quality.. I can safely say that I am incredibly satisfied!! I’ve been boarding 5 times last month and, after breaking the boots in, they’re even more amazing! Thank you, all!!
