Past Season Womens All-Mountain Boots Lists

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #5

Boot: K2 Contour

Lacing System: Double Boa

Flex: Medium (6/10)

Rating: 86.7/100

>>See Full Review

Starting off the list at #5, we have the K2 Contour. 

The Contour are a little more suited to carving at higher speeds, but are still decent at slower speeds. 

And while they might lack in outer boot adjustability, their comfort and heel hold make up for it. And they enable you to retighten your heel hold, when needed, without undoing the outer boot.

Score Breakdown for the Contour

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #4

Boot: Vans Luna Ventana Pro

Lacing System: Traditional Lacing (with Boa)

Flex: Medium (6/10) - but 5/10 to 7/10 depending on what you do with the tongue stiffeners.

Rating: 86.7/100

Next up we have the Vans Luna Ventana Pro boots. 

The Luna Ventana Pro features Vans' "Flex Control System" which consists of removable tongue stiffeners that allow you to stiffen up the boots with the tongue stiffeners in or leave them out - or have one in each boot to either increase lateral or medial stiffness. 

The Luna Ventana Pro also feature a really cool lacing system, where you have traditional lacing to allow complete control over where you tighten the boots and also a BOA which acts on a harness that wraps around your ankle, to help increase your heel hold.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #3

Boot: Ride Karmyn Zonal

Lacing System: Double Boa

Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)

Rating: 87.2/100

>>See Full Review

Coming in at #3 are Ride’s Karmyn Zonal snowboard boots. 

Unlike the K2 Contour above (see #5), both of Karmyn's BOAs work on the outside of the boot - one for the upper section of the boot and one for the lower section of the boot, giving more control over how you want your boot to fit. 

And overall, across all relevant factors, the Karmyn are just an all round quality pair of snowboard boots.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #2

Boot: Nidecker Rift W

Lacing System: Double Boa

Flex: Medium (5.5/10)

Rating: 89.4/100

>>See Full Review

In at #2, we have Nidecker's Rift W. 

The Rift W were consistently good across all the factors we test for and has no weaknesses that we could detect. They are the softest boot on this list, though still pretty similar to the others here.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #1

Boot: Burton Felix

Lacing System: Double Boa

Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)

Rating: 91.1/100

>>See Full Review

And finally, in the #1 position, we have the Burton Felix BOA.

With the Felix you are going to really appreciate the response you’ll get when your on the steeps or anywhere you want to be charging hard. But they’re also flexible enough that you can still ride casually or playfully.

The Felix are super comfortable and highly adjustable so you can get the fit just right. They have great shock absorption to add to that comfort – and for landing jumps & tricks and reducing chatter in rough snow.

Basically there's no where that these boots don't excel.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #5

Boot: DC Lotus BOA

Lacing System: Double Boa

Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)

Rating: 83.9/100

Starting off the list at #5 we have DC’s Lotus BOA boots.

The Lotus Boa is the equal lowest priced option on this list (equal with #2 below) and comes in well under the average price for all the boots in this list. 

Whilst these are a great option for those on a tighter budget, price isn't the only thing they have going for them. In fact they are a well rounded boot that is strong in most factors that we rate - and has that nice balance between preciseness and playfulness for doing a bit of everything on the mountain.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #4

Boot: K2 Estate

Lacing System: Double Boa

Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)

Rating: 86.1/100

The #4 boot for this list is the K2 Estate. 

If you’re someone who wants to ride the park, the backcountry and the groomers and don’t want separate boots for separate occasions, then the Estate’s (and everything on this list, of course) are a great option.

They have that great ability to be really shock absorbing and comfortable but at the same time offer plenty of performance, response & traction.

The second boa on the Estate's controls the heel hold on the liner - which is great for tightening the liner on the fly and for getting great heel hold - but there is only 1 boa for the whole of the outer boot, which impacts it's adjustability. But if you don't need that adjustability, then everything else about this boot is right up there.

At #2 we have the Vans Luna Ventana Pro boots. 

The Luna Ventana Pro are new for 2022, but continue on where the Ferra Pro left off. 

The biggest change for the Luna Ventana Pro is that it gets Vans' "Flex Control System" which consists of removable tongue stiffeners that allow you to stiffen up the boots with the tongue stiffeners in or leave them out - or have one in each boot to either increase lateral or medial stiffness. 

The Luna Ventana Pro also feature a really cool lacing system, where you have traditional lacing to allow complete control over where you tighten the boots and also a BOA which acts on a harness that wraps around your ankle, to really increase your heel hold.

The Lashed are the lowest priced boots on this list and offer great response for the price, in addition to great heel hold and the adjustability you get from traditional lacing.

Lacing System: Traditional Lacing (with Boa)

Flex: Medium (6/10)

Rating: 87.8/100

In at #3 are the Vans Ferra Pro boots. These are the 2nd lowest priced option on this list (after #5), but price wasn’t taken into account, so that’s just a bonus.

With that perfect medium flex that allows you to do whatever you feel for, anywhere on the mountain, the Ferra Pro’s are super versatile.

They are really solid in every category that I looked and don't have any weak areas, so if you're looking for a boot to do a bit of everything on, at a reasonable price, the Ferra Pro might be what you're looking for.

Coming in at #2, we have Ride’s Karmyn snowboard boots. 

With dual Boas, the Karmyn are easy to dial in a customized fit and provide great heel hold. They also have a "power cuff" for increased adjustability. When you're looking for response tighten it up - when you want a surfier, more forgiving ride, leave it loose. 

They come with high quality Michelin soles that are both shock absorbing and provide plenty of traction for those icy car parks and hikes.

In at #2 we have 32’s Women’s TM-Three boots.

With numerous ways to adjust this boot - including a heel hold kit and inserts that allow you to adjust the flex - the TM-Three can be dialled in exactly how you want them. 

And when you do, you have a boot that provides great response, heel hold and comfort. 

Not for the small budget, but if you've got the means, these are a great option for doing everything on the mountain.
