O.k. let’s get going with the top 5!
Women’s All Mountain Boot #5
Boot: Vans Ferra
Price: $249
Lacing System: Traditional Lacing (with Boa)
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Rating: 84.9/100
Kicking off the list, in at # 5 are the Vans Ferra boots. These are the softest flexing and the lowest priced option on this list, 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, the Ferra’s are super versatile.
They may not be the most responsive on this list – but they are really solid in all areas.

Salomon’s Lush boots are back.
They’re certainly not the cheapest option in Salomon’s line – but they do offer up the best of both world’s in terms of giving you great response while remaining super-comfortable, light and cushy.

Women’s All Mountain Boot #3
Boot: K2 Estate
Price: $349
Lacing System: Double Boa
Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)
Rating: 88.7/100
The Estate was new for the 2016-17 season and it’s good to see that this boot has made a return for the 2017-18 season.
There are really no weak areas to speak of for the Estate and that’s a great thing to be able to say about a boot that’s designed to be able to ride everywhere and do everything. So 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 really) 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 and response.

Price: $309
Lacing System: Double Boa
Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)
Rating: 90.3/100
In at #2 we have 32’s Women’s Binary Boa boots.
With fantastic heel hold, great comfort and heaps of adjustability, the Binary Boa is one of the best choices going around for the rider that wants to be able to ride in comfort but also wants the right balance of performance that allows her to do a bit of everything on the mountain.

Women’s All Mountain Boot #1
Boot: Burton Felix
Price: $249
Lacing System: Double Boa
Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)
Rating: 90.9/100
And finally, at #1, we have the Burton Felix boots.
With the Felix boots, you are going to really appreciate the response you’ll get when your on the steeps, in the trees and anywhere you want to be charging hard. But they’re also flexible enough that you can still ride freestyle and adjustable enough that you can tweak them to be even better for that park session.
The Felix are also 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.
