basically you get what you pay for. they are lacking a couple of the nicer features you'd get with the lashed that make them more comfy and last a little longer.

32 ultralights are the best boots I've ever used. very tweakable but good support

My last two pairs have been 32 Lashed. They break in fast and fit my feet well with little very minimal problems. Before that I had a pair of Celsius Cirrus which were too soft and caused me ankle problems, with the eventual break of almost every boot lace. I'd totally recommend 32's tho, look at their team!! Also, I'm staying away from that speed lacing technology, because from experience those broken systems can be difficult to replace or fix.

Last couple pairs I've had were Northwave, and K2 T1 DB.  I decided to return to regular laces, and went out with the intent to buy some 32 Lashes last night.  Naturally I tried on some other boots, and found the Burton Hail's to be a much better fit for my feet.  Wound up leaving the store with them.  First pair of Burton boots for me.

next year 32 stops making the ultralight, otherwise id reccomend them… go with the tm2 or the lashed, 32 makes the best boots

I have had 32 lashed twice in a row but i went with Burton hails this year and don't regret it at all. the j-bar in the heel is amazing.

32 boas are ballin'

I stepped off the train at loon and knocked the side wheel out,

broke the plastic holding on top of the foot by kicking my board

which actually makes that foot flex and feel a lot better.

 

I have phat calves too and they fit great, had to get a custom insole though

They're still going strong after a LOT of days on the hill

 

ps should i break my other foot to have matching support? im debating it

I've rode Burtons, 32's and Nikes….

 

Burtons: Suuuuuper comfy, quick lace system frayed. Lasted about 100 days of riding

 

32's Lashed: Not nearly as comfy, really wide, quick lace system ripped on one boot. Blew up after about 100 days of riding.

 

Nikes: Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper comfy, regular laces (def. the way to go), the velcro and in-boot tightening can be a bit of a pain at first. Lasted 50 days, minimal signs of deterioration.

 

OVERALL: Nike takes the cake. Burtons are comfy. 32's are just dope.
