WOMEN'S FREERIDE BOOT #1
Boot: K2 Contour
Price: $299
Lacing System: Double Boa
Flex: Stiff (8/10)
Rating: 93.4/100
K2’s Contour boots are a great choice if you’re advanced rider looking to charge the groomers and/or hit the backcountry.
They don't get stiffer than this when it comes to women's boots, so if you're looking for an aggressive, responsive boot and you're an advanced rider, you might have met your match.
The Contour’s are really comfortable and supply great heel hold for extra response, are highly shock absorbent (but at the same time also manage to provide plenty of traction for any hiking adventures) and all of that comes in a really reasonable price, a good bit below the average price for boots in this category.

- The lowest score was 71.4/100

#5: Ride Cadence
Boot: Ride Cadence Focus Boa
Price: $299
Lacing System: Double Boa
Flex: Medium-Stiff (7/10)
Rating: 84.2/100
When it comes to women’s boots the Cadence Boa’s are about as stiff as they come. Usually women’s boots aren’t stiffer than around a 7/10).
So if you want your boots to have that awesome response for carving up the slopes, shooting through the trees and dominating the backcountry then the Cadence will be a great choice for that.
Perhaps their biggest weakness is a lack of comfort. Often the extra stiffness reduces the amount of comfort you get – though some boots on the market have managed to get stiffness, response and comfort in the same boot.

#4: DC Mora
Boot: DC Mora Boa
Price: $279
Lacing System: Double Boa
Flex: Medium-Stiff (7/10)
Rating: 86.7/100
Like the Cadence above, DC’s Mora boots feature a double boa system.
They have a nice medium-stiff flex for freeriding or charging hard in the resort – 7/10.
The Mora’s also have awesome heel hold and great traction for those hiking missions – or for an icy car park.
They are the lowest priced boots on this list and come in well below the average price for this category of snowboard boots.

#3: Thirty Two Jones MTB
Boot: ThirtyTwo Jones MTB
Price: $599
Lacing System: Traditional Lacing
Flex: Stiff (8/10)
Rating: 87.8/100
These boots are specifically designed for backcountry missions. They feature soles that are crampon compatible, have a zip up sleeve (storm shield) to keep snow out and a “walk mode” which opens up the back of the boot to give you more movement, when you’re split boarding.
So if you’re someone who does a lot of backcountry missions, particularly with a split board, the Jones MTB are a great option for you.
If you like the fit and feel of 32 boots, but don’t need the extra features of this boot (and don’t want to pay the extra price) the Women’s TM Two is also a great, lower cost option for freeriding/hard charging all-mountain riding.

#2: K2 Contour
Boot: K2 Contour
Price: $299
Lacing System: Double Boa
Flex: Medium-Stiff (7/10)
Rating: 91.3/100
K2’s Contour boots are a great choice if you’re advanced rider looking to charge the groomers and/or hit the backcountry.
The only improvement they could make, is to have a third boa for more adjustability. One boa controls the harness around the liner and the other one both the top and bottom sections of the outer-boot. Separate top and bottom adjustments for the outer-boot would be great to see.
But the Contour’s are really comfortable and supply great heel hold for extra response, are highly shock absorbent (but at the same time also manage to provide plenty of traction for any hiking adventures) and all of that comes in a really reasonable price, a good bit below the average price for boots in this category.

#1: Burton Supreme
Boot: Burton Supreme
Price: $449
Lacing System: Speed Lacing
Flex: Medium-Stiff (7/10)
Rating: 91.8/100
Burton’s Supreme’s are, in my opinion, the ultimate in women’s freeride snowboard boots.
They have the perfect flex, great heel hold and awesome response – and they manage to achieve that elusive responsive-yet-comfortable combination.
They also manage to achieve the elusive combination of great shock absorption and great traction (often you have to sacrifice one for the other).
They are a bit more costly than your average boots but if you want the ultimate in women’s freeriding boots the Supreme’s are a great choice.

Buying Past Season Models
Often models don't change that much from year to year so if you can find a past season model, it will likely be close enough to the latest model but you can get it cheaper, if available and in a suitable size for you. For past year's models check out the links below to see if they still have any left.
