FS: 11/12 Size 9 Flow Hylites - Snowboarding Forum

$100, you pay shipping.

We here talk about not buying used boots. That's still usually the case, but the stock footbeds in these are comparable to my aftermarket Soles and are remoldable. Just do what I did and blast them with a blow dryer for 3-5 minutes and they will break into your foot and forget mine completely. Same with the liners, also fully heat moldable. Go to a shop for the liners though, they have the right machines to do it and the liners are a much more specific temp than the footbeds.

So, I could tell you all about the boot, or you could just click here.

Will send photos if need be. Other than some dirt on the soles they're basically brand new. Maybe 10 days of wear at Bear Mtn.

As far as fit, if you've had good luck with Ride, K2, or Burton these are similar. A bit snugger up front than is typical with ride or K2, similar in the heel area to Burton but with an instep fit closer to K2.

They don't advertise a special thing like that, but this is their highest end boot will welds instead of stitches and the like. These have a similar footprint to Ions.
