5th Element ST-1 Mens Lace Up Snowboard Boots

I am a novice snowboarder, and figured if I get find some decent boots I could save a little bit on my rentals. I found these basic boots and gave them a try. They were comfortable, warm in 11 degree weather with just 1 pair of socks, and kept my toes and feet dry. For a beginner these do the job; not qualified enough to know otherwise!I gave these 4 stars instead of 5 due to sizing. I agree with all reviews that say these are small. I bought the same size boots as the size of Nike/Adidas shoes I wear where I have a little bit of room (for dress shoes like Clarks I wear half size down to what these were). My toes were about 1 mm from the edge. It seemed a bit tight when trying on at home, but was just fine on the slopes. I would suggest buying half size larger than a comfortable size for athletic shoes for you.

Initially when I first received these boots I was super concerned because they are soft and are not stiff like others boots I’ve used in the past. You can bend the material and it’s a very light boot. After trying them out they, turned out to be a great pair. Spent a lot of time braking and didn’t ever feel like my feet hurt. Got out there for about 4-5 hours straight and no pain. One of the boots felt like it was starting to come a little loose, but that was the extent of it.I’m an 11.5 regular shoe size and bought a size 12. Fit great. No issues with boot size.4 *’s because when I tighten them, I feel like I could potentially snap the loops that the laces go through. Outside of that, not bad for a cheaper boot. Got what I paid for.

Straight out the box noticeably great quality out the gate, look clean, durable & even stylish. Lightweight w/ about a medium flex. I originally was going for the DC Phase boots which I've tried and these feel very similar other than flex. The DC Phase has a little more flex due to the type of leather in the right places. Overall great versatile all mountain boot. I rock them freestyle mostly but can also jam down the mountain comfortably no prob! Had to make strap adjustments on my Burton bindings to fit them but that's it. Most bindings are adjustable for this reason so you should be good!

I am a true 10 us but I ordered a 11 us and they fit perfect I would advise ordering a size up definitely But they are worth the money I won’t complain I can’t wait to go snowboarding now lol

Great boots for the price. Got them because they had size 14, usually I'm a 13 in shoes but most snowboard boots seemed too tight. These fit well, a little soft but nothing extreme. Used them all day with no pain. The sole insert seems cheap but if its a problem a gel insole would fix it.

Great fit, look and feel out of the box. Will update review once I have actually used then on the slopes.

These boots seemed to fit and perform well for my 16 year old son. As a beginner, they seemed to work fine.

Very strong boots that fit great. Holds my feet in place very well and had enough room for my layers of clothes.
