Hahahaha, it really does take a "Ski" company to make Snowboarding boot work. We laugh, but it's reality. The Salomon Malamute is simply the best Snowborad boot ever made, and given Snowboard boots are made on a "pattern" rather than an "injection mould" it's pretty simple to add/take away a few bit. So boom,the S Lab Trek is here. Get a long term fit, power, response and plus a walk mode and you're pretty close to perfection.
