DON'T BUY THESE BOOTS
Ойындар
This are the new 22-23 Ride Lasso Pro. One of the worst boots I've ever had. They are destroyed just after 90 days. Ok, I ride every day and I am not a tourist, but nowadays, brands don't build to last. A more than 300 bucks pair of boots should last at least a whole season.
-Leaks and wet feet since the very first day on both boots.
-Broken boa loops.
-2 boas broken.
-The liner harness is just cheesy.
-Wrinkles.
-A fake 8 over 10. The flex broke after a month.
-The textil boa cord is garbage. It's almost broken too.
-An entire size bigger after 3 months, and you can do nothing about it because it's not the liner.
-I have got a light sprain in my left ankle because of the huge wrinkles.
The Ride Insano are (were... I don't know the new ones) just amazing. Best boots I've ever had. I wanted to try something softer, and I bought these ones. I don't even want to fight with anyone, guarantees and all that sht. I don't want them, not even a pair of new ones I just want to burn them. I wont because it's plastic, so directly to the garbage bin.
WTF are you doing, Ride?
BUT... I have to say, it's not just Ride. almost all brands are making crappy boots. Bad gear in general, but especially boots. Even the Salomon Malamute have nothing to do with the old ones (and I mean, the old ones were much much better).
Don't buy these boots.

I am the third season for Burton Ions, expensive but worth it.

Glad to hear it. I never tried them but I've heard good things about Ions from other homies. This has been my second season (well, one and a half season because I had to buy them in the middle of the past season when these Ride got destroyed) with a pair of 32 crab grab and same problem with the boas, which are textile. Probably my last boa boots, because the customer service from BOA is absolute crap. I am still waiting for them to send me new boas, after almost 3 months. Their guarantee is for life, so maybe in 25 years I'll receive them... I had to spend my money on a replacement in my local shop, because I am an instructor and I can't be without boots. And I was lucky that that shop had replacements and the guys can do it in 20 minutes, and they had steel cables, instead of that garbage of kevlar, which is just for pros who get free stuff or for the people who ride 15 days per season. That's why I liked boa, because it is great for work if you like stiff boots because you can lose it or tighten it up really quick, and as an instructor, and many times riding after the classes, it was a great system. But I am tired of it. Also, these 32 are not bad but the flex is gone. And I have the basic liner, which is not very good, especially at wrapping your shin. They have a really good liner but is more than 200 bucks. But still, there are no wrinkles, no leaks, the sole is in good condition... But as I've said in other comments, nowadays most boots are overpriced crap, I don't know why. Even the stiffness is softer. You can bend a Malamute with your hands. You shouldn't be able to do that with a supposed 10. In fact, you couldn't do it 6 years ago with the Malamute. Now, you can. Two years ago, before buying these Lasso Pro, I bought a pair of Deeluxe. They are supposedly a 7. When they arrived, I put them on, and they weren't even an actual 5. They were bubble gum. I returned them immediately. Maybe I'll try those Ion next winter.
loved the rant lol this deserves more views

Yeah hehe. I was so pissed off man. You spend like 4 fkg hundred bucks on supposed high quality boots, and don't even last 90 days. And dude, I am not a pro, I am just a teacher. All brands are making rental quality sht regarding boots with a couple of exceptions (models).

Oh, and BOA, the last time. Yeah life guarantee they say... This season two of my BOAs broke. I emailed them more than 2 months ago. I am still waiting. I had to go to my local shop and pay for a replacement, because I can't work without boots. Y put steel cable, because the textil ones are complete crap. They always break, no matter what they say in their youtube channel (Ride) about there is no difference because they have tested them and blah blah blah. BS. Almost all boots now are designed for tourists who ride a week per season, as much. If you ride at least 100 days, everything is crap.
Man you're so upset that I felt it through the monitor screen. If I were nearby, I would treat you to a hot drink and cheer you up.

@@ivantsipis4437 yeah, I don't know what's happening. Every brand, every shop, every distri guy tries to gaslight you. You are crazy, it's because you don't take care of them... All sorts of BS. Boots nowadays, since 3 or 4 years ago, are crap.
