The snowboarding boots I've had in the past I think were pretty good quality, and have served me well.. They were Burton Ions, and Burton Driver X's. Both seem to be on the higher end of Burton's spectrum...
The Driver X's do have a 'lacing system' though, versus the traditional lace... I'm thinking of going back to a traditional lace so that when they eventually do break -- its not as much of a pain to switch the laces out..... The Ions also have gone over to the lacing system....
The problem is most snowboard boots I've seen with traditional laces seem to appear to be lower-end and I'm assuming more poorly made.... I'm looking for a quality made snowboarding boot with traditional laces -- anyone have any suggestions? I'm open to all brands, price is flexible if its a boot that will last me 4-5 years and 100+ days..... The Vibram sole of the Driver X's was a selling point for hiking -- and any reinforcement above the toe area to prevent premature chairlift board resting-wear is great. As far as riding style, all-mountain.. and a stiffer boot preferred to a softer park boot...
