Review: ThirtyTwo's Lashed Fava Snowboard Boots

At the end of 2023, I walked into Edge of the World snowboard shop in Banner Elk, North Carolina and tried on a medley of boots. The ThirtyTwo Lashed was by far the most comfortable, but they didn’t have my size, so I went home without purchasing a pair. Several months later, I saw that I could get the 2022-2023 version on sale. I purchased and rode on them at Montage Mountain in Pennsylvania.

It was like an entirely different boot.

They say if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. The Lashed boot of previous years was certainly not broken, as it’s one of the most well-respected boots on the market. But the 2024-2025 version tweaked all of the right things to make the Lashed the most comfortable pair of boots I’ve ever ridden in.

MSRP: $299

Context:

I rode these boots on natural snow at Whitefish in Montana, powder at Soldier Mountain, Sun Valley, Rotarun, and Magic Mountain in Idaho, and springtime slush at Sugar Mountain in North Carolina. I rode them on a Burton Skeleton Key with Union Strata bindings, a Dinosaurs Will Die MaeTier with ThirtyTwo FASE bindings, and a Jones Tweaker with Jones Orion bindings.

What Thirtytwo says:

A team favorite, the Lashed offers a Performance Rubber Outsole with Evolution Foam Cushioning with the same reliable fit, medium flex and support. An undeniable classic in the world of snowboarding, the ThirtyTwo Lashed have been in the lineup for years and have no intention of going away soon. Old school traditional lacing with the Team internal harness gives you the ultimate in adjustability and the Team Liner and internal harness deliver unmatched stability.

What Snowboarder says:

If the perfect boot exists, I haven’t found it yet. The ThirtyTwo Lashed is a solid step forward in that direction, though.

The Lashed is the ultimate ATV boot. It’s worn by team riders Zeb Powell, Chris Bradshaw, Austin Visintainer, and Pat Fava. It’s Fava’s pro model that I’m riding in, largely because it has the most unique graphic of them all. The boot is leather-brown which gives it an old school look. The boot features several images in the style of an American traditional tattoo. A panther and a hummingbird grace the outside, while a screeching eagle and another hummingbird are on the inside. The boot, on aesthetic alone, is truly a work of art.

The biggest benefit with the Lashed is its versatility. The drawstring and internal harness, coupled with the Velcro cuff on the upper portion of the liner, allows you to keep your boot as tight – or as loose – as you want it. If you’re planning on hitting some hard charging steeps at Sun Valley that require precise turning, you can tighten these bad boys down as tight as you need.

Planning on tweaking out some grabs while hiking in the Appalachian Ski Mountain terrain park? Keep it loose, and let those your calves breathe a little bit. Speaking of your calves, the upper rear portion of the boot is flexible, meaning that if you’re like me and have bigger calves, you won’t feel any rest
