I forgot to mention that I'm a full time ski patroller and I get in close to 100 days a season. A guy that I work with had the Ride Insano last season and he had a few issues with them. Twice they had to be sent back because of separation issues. Also the Insano has a very soft bottom that wears completely bald in no time. That's not good for someone who has to do a lot of walking on the east coast hard pack. I haven't tried on the 2014 Driver-x but they look almost identical to the 13's. Last season the rep told me that the boot had been significantly stiffened so I gave them a try. They were ok at first but after only a few days they were mush. This is one of the older super stiff versions of the driver-x. These things were hard to flex at all when new but break in to a perfect level.

I tried the 2012 or 13 Malamutes and they were not as stiff as the older driver's. The shop told me that like Burton the Solomon's have gotten softer in recent years. I'll have to find some 2014's and see how they feel. Thanks.

Thanks, Those are some nice looking boots.

I'm looking for a super stiff "soft boot". For years I rode the Burton Driver and Driver x boot and loved them but the last few versions have been anything but stiff. Last season I bought the 12/13 driver x and although stiffer than the previous few years they are still not nearly as stiff as the older ones. Does anyone have a suggestion for a soft boot that will be stiffer than the current Driver x boot? I've been lucky enough to find New older ones on ebay but I haven't had much luck finding them lately.
