Wow those seem nice too! I have the TM-Two's being sent to me as we speak from Dogfunk, if they don't' fit i think the DC's just became my alternative. Thats the perfect type of boot I am looking for.

Yeah, that hybrid lacing system has me intrigued, hopefully my LBS has them. If they don't, I'll try whatever DCs they have in-stock to get a gauge on what size I should order. If I'm unsure, I'll just order 2 diff sizes and return what doesn't fit to dogfunk. Come to think of it, I may order the malavita in the silversmith color too!

13-14 Salomon F3 in the middle. Looks much better than 12-13! Looks like the front velcro strap is gone too which is good. Hated that thing!

I believe that is the F4. Here is the pic I found of next year's F3. The F4 is in the upper left corner and the F3 is 2nd row middle column.

OK, finally found a closeup of the F3.0. I just don't like that velcro strap on the forefoot? I wish they did the laces exactly like the F4.0

That's a petty nice looking boot! But I'm glad I went with the tm-two's. specially cause those would definitely not match any of my gear at all haha.

Yeah that's a nice looking boot. I'm still on the fence tho. It's between DC Gizmo, 32 TM-TWO, or K2 Maysis. Went by my LBS and their service is shitty, so I'll be crossing my finger and ordering through the interwebz.

I'm leaning towards the Burton Imperial. I've had many Salomon's over the years and currently have F22's from several years ago, but I just didn't like the F22's from the last couple seasons. The F4.0 just seems a bit too stiff and very expensive. The F2.0 looks nice and more reasonable cost. Haven't tried them on yet. I tried on a few boots from several manufacturers a month ago and the Imperials just fit perfectly and it was very easy to lace up. I can order them online from a few dealers for $179 right now too...

Haha...I know, sorry man! I'm actually upgrading all my gear from my first set-up. So far I have my bindings, pants and 2 jackets on the way. Couldn't decide which jacket, so I'll be returning whichever one I like the least. Once that's completed than I will order the boots.
