look into some 32's(lightest boots),vans ,ride or burton boots.i've run 32's before lasted 3 years,on my 3rd year with my vans and they look brand new.Biggest thing with snowboard boots is they wont hold up very long if u kick the sh*t out of your runnin boards.U've got better boards so ull be fine,and ur feet will love u back...

32's use some foam sole that does not hold up to sledding, in my opinion. Look for a rubber sole for longevity...

There is good support there CATPRIDE I would say those would work and be stylish. The heels would hook right in and alway keep your feet on the boards.

ur right ,but if u got any running board inserts there is no need to kick at ur runnin boards. the kicking at the snow in ur boards is what kills boots not standing on the running boards. I've only ever used snowboard boots and will always where them,same with all my gear....

Just look for snowboard boots on ebay, bought three pairs of boots the other day, one pair of Burton, one pair of Rome and one pair of Ride boots, all 2010-2011 season boots( so they are last seasons) All in all with shipping I paid $220 for all three pairs....... super cheep seeing as last year retail on the Rome boots was $260, the Burtons were $240 and the Rides were $210. Just a thought. Also I just went into the local snowboard shop and tried on a pair of Rides and a pair of Romes to see how their sizing was, seeing as I have never owned boots from those companies. The burtons I already knew my size as I have had 3 pairs of them.

You gotta watch with 32 boots that you don't buy to stiff of a boot. 32 already makes some of the stiffest boots out there......... the mid flex boots from 32 are almost stiffer than the stiffest boots burton offers. If you go with snowboard boots for sledding and aren't a real agressive superpark rider then go with ones that have low to mid flex ratings. Yes 32 are some of the lightest boots but they don't hold up do to the foam sole. My 32 lashed boots lasted one season of sledding( last year) before that I had a pair of burton boots that lasted three seasons of sledding but weren't quite as warm as I would of liked.
