Bodega Boa

I just started boarding last year and all my boards and bindings are Rome. So why not get the Rome boots to match the setup? I was very stoked at first. After only 5 days of riding these boots the boa system will not stay locked in. The whole run I’m just bending down tightening up the boa. I like medium stiffness on boots. First couple of days boots worked fine but on day 4 it started to degrade and by day 5 they were marshmallows. Due to the boa loosening up I have very bad board control. On the cosmetic side the toe cap material is very cheap and you will scratch it soon as anything touches it. Not a super big deal but they definitely should be more durable on the toes. I contacted Rome and these mf told me to take my boots to the shop I bought them from and that will be the most efficient way to get back out there before the end of season. No I told them I’m selling these boots and gonna find a system that works for me. Sadly Rome lost a customer. I was always down like there motto and now I’m absolutely not! I’m going back to ThrirtyTwo! I’m super salty 😂

Do not buy these boots, or any boots from Rome. One day of snowboarding and my left boot's toe is chewed up and has several gashes in it. They are clearly made of very low quality material. The cable for the boa system on these boots is extremely flimsy as well, it's unbelievable that they would cheap out on the system that tightens the boot on your foot. On my left boot the cable is hanging on by a thread, this is also after one day of riding. I reached out to Rome support and they told me their warranty doesn't cover any damage of any sort. I believe they are very much aware of these issues and are choosing to change their policies rather than do right by their customers. Heed the warning of this review and others, spend your money elsewhere.

Out of the box they looked sharp. I really like the the Velcro tongue to be super helpful in getting them on and off. The liner feels like it is going to mold well to my foot and it was warm and they felt very true to size as well.I look forward to rocking these on the first opening day I can get.

Love the feel of the boots but the toe material has been destroyed within 2 months of riding. I work in a rental shop and our rental boots have no damage after 2-3 seasons of use.

Very disappointed and Rome will not cover under warranty. The product is no fit for purpose.

I bought these boots excited to have my first, nice, higher end pair of boots. I used the boots for a total of 1 day before looking down and seeing the attached picture. I could understand if the boots sustained such damage after an entire season or two, but not a day. So, I took the boots back to the shop that I bought them from, and the manager suggested I put JB Weld or epoxy onto the toe to protect it from damaging further in the future. With all due respect to the shop manager and to Rome, I did not spend $350 on boots to put JB Weld on them after one days' use. My previous pair of boots (the cheapest K2 has to offer) withstood 7 years of riding progression from Novice to Intermediate to skilled rider and still don't have a single rip, tear, or even scuff on them. I am disappointed with the quality of the material used. The boots are extremely comfortable and look super shiny and well made in the store, evidently until you use them for the first time and get the damage you see here. I spoke with the warranty department, and they said that this kind of damage is not covered by their warranty. Overall, save your money and buy yourself a pair of boots that won't need JB weld after 1 days' riding.
