I'm a tall guy and these are exactly what I need to avoid the bend over/stretching/strain game required with regular bindings. I'm usually a size 14, but went up a size so that my toes have a little wiggle room. I realise that's maybe not how 'real' snowboarders size their boots, but seeing I'm not looking to do to much charging on the slopes, I'll take comfort over the more usual snug fit. They're perfect!

I've had the Burton Ion step ons for the last few years. While they've been the best fitting boot I've had (5th boot) I felt that the toe could've had a little more room after 6-7 days straight on the slopes.Combine that with also wanting slightly less stiff boots (the Ion's had very little give), I thought I'd try the Photon wides. While I haven't taken them up the mountain yet but have worn them all day at home. Exactly what I wanted - A wider front, stiff but not so stiff and painless/numb-free after a day walking around in them at home.
