O.k. let’s get going with the top 5!
WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #5
Boot: Vans Ferra Pro
Price: $249
Lacing System: Traditional Lacing (with Boa)
Flex: Medium (6/10)
Rating: 84.8/100
Kicking off the list, in at #5 are the Vans Ferra Pro boots. These are 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, 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.

This video is a couple of years old now (for the 2017 model). I will add a video for the new model, once/if I can find one.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #4
Boot: Ride Karmyn
Price: $289
Lacing System: Double Boa
Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)
Rating: 84.8/100
New for 2019, Ride’s Karmyn boots come in at #4.
With dual Boas, the Karmyn are easy to dial in a customized fit and get 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 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 flex and performance that allows her to do a bit of everything on the mountain.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #2
Boot: K2 Estate
Price: $349
Lacing System: Double Boa
Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)
Rating: 90.8/100
The #2 boot for this list for 2018-19 is the K2 Estate.
There are zero 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, response & traction.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN BOOT #1
Boot: Burton Felix
Price: $349
Lacing System: Double Boa
Flex: Medium (6 out of 10)
Rating: 91.8/100
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.

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 your size. For past year's models check out the links below to see if they still have any left.
