how much are replacement cords? ive always been curious about that.

I got my boots back today, burton charged $25 for labor and new cord system.  I guess thats ok (?), I don't really have anything to compare this to.  Just glad to have mah own boots back again  :P.......

compared to the $100+ new boots would've cost you, I consider that a great deal!   :D
If riding is wrong, then I dont wanna be right!

I have the DC Torch w/ boa lacing and love 'em - have used them for 2 seasons (third coming up) with about 30-40 days total and no signs of wear - dialing in two zones for upper and lower boot is great and no longer get foot cramps after a full day on the mountain...

my boots have upper and lower zone cords also and I love how you can customize the fit with them.  I had thought about going back to traditional lace up boots but don't think I will now.

yeah i guys. I think the traditional lace up is good.  It is stays tight and doesn't break.  I am all for the lace up
