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
You can buy the boots here.
Features:
- 3D Molded Tongue
- Articulated Cuff
- Evolution Foam Cushioning
- Performance Rubber Outsole
- Team Internal Harness
- Medium Flex
- Traditional Lacing
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
The boot comes with foam inserts to help tackle any heel lift you’re dealing with. The back of the book has what ThirtyTwo calls “enhanced spine support”, which is really just a hardshell polyurethane outer that offers some constant rigidity as the rest of the boot breaks in.
The team fit footbed is much more impressive than your typical stock footbed. In my other boots, I’ve been running custom footbeds, but the Lashed came with a sturdy option that provides a solid pocket for your heel. The liner is not very rigid, which is both good and bad. The good: The boots are easy to break in. The bad: it could take less time to pack out, depending on your weight and riding style.
As for the midsole, it is made out of foam. Because of that, this is most comfortable boot I’ve ever tried on, and that makes it super popular with lifties, terrain park diggers, and anyone else who has a job that requires them to stand more than they ride. The sole of the boot is coated in rubber on the heel and toe portions, while the middle is just made up of that same foam. I hiked into the sidecountry at Whitefish in Montana with these boots, and even up some relatively steep terrain, I didn’t have a problem maintaining my grip on the snow.
Overall, this is the boot for a rider who doesn’t want to have an entire quiver of snowboard boots, but wants a single pair that can do it all. This boot is for a rider who will be more focused on freestyle riding. This boot is for a rider with a wider foot.

New report suggests Christian Wilkins release related to 'incident' with teammate
There may be more to Christian Wilkins’ recent surprise release from the Las Vegas Raiders. NFL reporter Josina Anderson reported Saturday that "some sources believe an incident involving a teammate may have factored in-part into the Raiders' fatigue and release" of Wilkins. The nature of the incident is not clear. However, many believe the Raiders had a very good reason to move on from Wilkins considering the money they had invested in him. It also suggests the Raiders saw no alternative if they went straight to a release. Wilkins was dumped by the Raiders just one year into a four-year, $110 million deal. The Raiders suggested Wilkins failed to take rehab seriously as he tries to work his way back from a foot injury. Other teams do not appear to have the same concerns about Wilkins as the Raiders did, and he should find a new landing spot fairly easily. That is one of the reasons some suspect there is more to the Raiders’ decision than they are publicly saying.
Important trade stalls as Maple Leafs dangle bottom-six forward
The Toronto Maple Leafs are still looking for a solution to their bottom-six surplus, and veteran forward Calle Jarnkrok remains at the center of trade discussions. However, according to The Fourth Period, trade talks surrounding the 33-year-old winger have failed to gain momentum. They write: “He has a $2.1M cap hit and owns a 10-team no-trade list. The market hasn’t been vibrant, to this point, but the Leafs will continue to dangle him.” Why can’t the Maple Leafs find a taker for Jarnkrok? Jarnkrok has quietly been on the trade block for much of the offseason, but general manager Brad Treliving has yet to find a taker. After adding several depth forwards this summer, the Leafs now face a crowded bottom six — and Jarnkrok’s age, injury history and $2.1M cap hit through 2025–26 aren’t helping his value. Since joining Toronto, Jarnkrok has appeared in only 71 games over two seasons, scoring a modest 28 points. While his defensive versatility and penalty-killing ability are assets, his declining offensive production and durability concerns have made teams wary. With training camp approaching, the Maple Leafs may be forced to keep Jarnkrok on the roster — or retain salary in a deal — if they want to create space and flexibility. Dropping his cap hit down to just over $1M would open up the market a little. Until then, the Swedish forward remains a trade candidate in limbo. This isn’t great news as moving Jarnkrok from the roster is an important item on the team’s to-do list. Treliving would like more cap space, and with Jarnkrok and David Kampf both still on the roster, it hampers the GM’s ability to do other things.
Mariners' Cal Raleigh makes history with 40th home run
Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh clubbed his 40th home run of the season on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Angels, not only extending his major league lead but also making him the first player in baseball to reach the 40-home run mark this season. It also helped him make some history. With his 40th home run, Raleigh became both the first catcher and the first switch-hitter in baseball history to reach the 40 home run mark before the end of July. Here is a look at his 40th home run. He is already in the process of having one of the best seasons ever for a Mariners player, and also one of the best seasons ever for a catcher, for any team. Especially when you add in his defense, where he is one of the best defensive catchers in the league. His only serious competition for the American League MVP Award remains New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge. But with Judge sidelined for a period of time now due to an elbow injury, it might open the door for Raleigh to really put himself in the lead for that award.
Brutal setback could be end of the line for former Titans first-round pick
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks may have already sealed his fate ahead of a make-or-break 2025 season. On Saturday, the No. 18 overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft suffered a broken collarbone while making an outstanding diving catch along the sideline during training-camp practice on a pass from rookie quarterback Cam Ward. The play was a distillation of Burks' pro career thus far, one that could be special if not beset by injuries. Burks has only appeared in 27 of a possible 51 career regular-season games. During his rookie season, Burks missed Weeks 5-9 with a foot/toe injury. He also suffered a concussion against the Philadelphia Eagles, forcing him to miss two additional games. In 2023, he was sidelined by a knee injury from Oct. 1 through Oct. 15, followed by another three-game absence the next month after he was carted off with a head injury in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last season, Burks was limited to five games after tearing his ACL during practice. He appeared to be in prime form on his spectacular grab during the play he was injured, showing off his tantalizing potential (and no lingering effects from his knee injury) by laying out to make the catch. But as has been the case throughout Burks' career, his giant step forward was met with two backward strides. In May, the Titans declined to pick up Burks' fifth-year rookie option, which would have paid him a projected $15.493 million in 2026, per Over The Cap. Over his first three seasons, Burks has 53 receptions, 699 receiving yards and one touchdown. Tennessee invested heavily in improving its wide receiver depth this offseason, insulating it from the effects of Burks' most recent injury. During free agency, the Titans added Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson. They selected Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft while also signing Ward's college teammate, Xavier Restrepo, as an undrafted free agent. Burks' path to playing time was already challenged by the offseason moves, but his broken clavicle could knock him out of the rotation for good. If Burks is ever going to live up to his draft status, it's become increasingly more likely it won't be in Tennessee.
