Thirtytwo 32 tm3's?? (Team 3) Info?

Hey guys.
At the point of needing new boots and almost pulled the trigger on the tm2 xlts - however they felt extremely stiff for park riding when tried on in store.
I ride everywhere. A lot of jumps. Only a few rails, hardly at all.
Current boots are northwave decades.

Just spotted the tm3's on a sneak preview online but can't find anymore information.

Anyone have any details on stiffness/release dates - and will the price point be way higher than tm2's?

Thinking of hanging on until they're released but do need boots to ride in the snowdome until then.

Thanks!

Best Thirty-two boots I've ridden. I've been on the hunt for a Kaiju replacement since Nike went out of business and I think I found them. Your riding preferences seem somewhat similar to mine.
MSRP will be $450. Compared to the TM-Two, it will have an upgraded Elite liner, increased heel hold, multiple arch support options, and flex bars you can slot into the boot to stiffen them up if you want. WITH the flex bars in, they're roughly the same flex as a TM-Two. WITHOUT the flex bars, they are a medium flex, in between the Lashed and TM-Two, which was exactly what I wanted.

I have the TM2s and they're awesome. Anyone know if Thirty Two might switch it up and go with an actual rubber sole? The foam sole saves a few ounces, but I'd gladly gain a few ounces to also gain a bunch of grip for hiking. The TM2s are a bit sketch hiking around in them.

Not interested in the upgraded liners, arch supports, etc. The first thing I do when I get a new pair of boots is ditch the liners and insoles anyway. I'm just buying a shell.

I have Superfeet & put em in every pair of boots.

They pretty much crush any boots stock insoles.
That I've seen anyway, there may be some brand that's better but I have yet to see them.

Oh wait, except the 32 Primes I bought last year.
They are the first insoles that measure up to superfeet.

The amount of cushioning is crazy.
With a plastic heel cup and special dampening rubber from NASA or some shit in the heel.

Only problem, their sizing was all fucked up.
I bought 9's thinking they would pack out perfect.
But they were so fucking short in the toe.
I had to take out the super thick stock insoles and put in the much thinner Superfeet insoles.

Even that, wasn't enough.
They're just too damn small.

Thought if I used the thick stock insoles in a different pair of booties they'd get packed down a bit?

Nope not one bit.

So, I'm still on my Prime's from the year before.
Which are awesome, I love em.
That's why I bought the next year's model.

Backfired d'oh.

So I have a minty fresh pair of size 9 Prime's
If anyone wants a pair.

They are super kick ass boots, they're just more of an 8.5 than a 9.

TM3s are definitely stiffer than TM2s, and beefier built so they're likely to brake down a little slower than TM2s. And 32 fit is a shitshow, if you can't try them on don't bother ordering unless you wanna return twice. The footbeds won't be on the same level as Superfeet or customs, but they are the best stock insoles in snowboarding for sure.

Wait the tm3's are stiffer?
I presume that's with the rods inserted?

32 reckon flex 6 for tm3 and 8 in tm2 (9 in xlt).

I'm hopin tm3 will fit nicer out of box with new liner and hold heel down better.

Someone mentioned tm3 has better heel hold. How are they achieving that? Same lacing etc by looks of it

I don't think I've used any other insoles other than Superfeet.
Not saying they're the best by any means.

They do look pretty simple.

They're just better than almost every stock one I've seen.
Minus the Prime's.
Not sure which 32 boots have these ones in em?
Plus I'm sure they change a bit every year?

Like I said, I rode them in January. It wouldn't be the first time that a brand changes something after the trade shows, but I haven't heard they are.

It also wouldn't be the first time a brand markets something wrong. Burton puts 45% glass in the Cartel so they automatically call it stiffer than the Malavita. But it's not. For years Forum claimed the Youngblood softer than the Destroyer, but it wasn't. Marketing is marketing, try shit on and listen to reputable people's experience. If you only listen to brand marketing you'll spend a lot of money on new stuff. Good stuff? Maybe. But there's no guarantee. They use marketing to make sure something new makes its money, remember that.

For me personally, I'd definitely recommend the TM-3 over the TM-Two. The heel hold does work, IMO, better than most of the other boots I've ridden. I think the only boot that beat it in that aspect was the 32 Session, but that has the BOA ankle strap thing that pulls your heel in/down.

$450 MSRP but worth it IMO.

Anybody have any new info on these? I'm going to be riding at least sixty days this winter and I need something to replace the second pair of Nike DKs that I have destroyed. I love the DKs but fuck do they fall apart easily. I tried on a pair of TM Two XLTs last season but they felt a bit too stiff for my style. I'm hoping these TM3s might be a bit stiffer than my DKs and also a bit more durable. Also....if anybody has seen these anywhere going for less than the insane 450 dollar price let me know!

Just bought a pair of these. Man they are tight fitting out of the box. No joke about heel hold. There are two very prominent bumps by my achilles but because I have small heels they feel like they are not completely in the back of the boots. The bumps are pushing on the nerves around my achilles causing my feet to go numb.
Maybe I need to break them in more maybe they don't fit at all. I have Salomon F3.0 but the Thirtytwo's fit completely different.

I had the TM-2 two years ago and they were way too stiff for me. i switched to the session boot last year and they were good for the first couple months but they were too soft and the outter material started to fall apart. Just bought the TM-3 boot and they are stiff now but after walking around in them for about 5 minutes I can tell they will be perfect all season. customizeable foot arch supports are clutch as well.
