Finally found the perfect boot!

I’ve been trying and experimenting with various boots - Burton Ruler, Burton Photon, Nidecker Rift, Ride Fuse and now the Rome Libertine. The Libertine is my favorite of the whole bunch. They aren’t the most comfortable of the bunch but they fit my feet well enough without being bulky, I love the flex profile, the footprint, the board feel and the build.

I have flat feet and wear aftermarket insoles.

These boots have noticeable cushioning on top of the toes and top of the shins. Felt weird at first but after riding these for a bit, the cushioning feels like performance points. These boots can carve toe side, do well at slower speed and are great for freestyle.

Obviously, the best boot is the one that best fits your feet but these boots just have something different than the other brands I have tried.

My only complaint is that they are noticeably harder to get on and off. But once you’re in them, it’s a joy to ride these boots.

They are true to size. I wear an 11 in Burton and Nidecker and am also an 11 in the Libertine.

Nice boot

I normally wear size 10.5-11 shoes and my feet measure 10.5 (26.7cm). The 10.5’s were not available so I opted to try the 10’s. I don’t have wide feet but I think I have a slightly thicker foot and my toes felt crunched up slightly with the padding in the front. The padding actually feels nice and I wish I could have tried these on in person. I think size 10.5 boot for me would have been perfect. Good boot though and feels great I just had the wrong size

Narrow!!!

Well, I went and tried this boot on at the shop. It is very nice. Looks good and feels well-built. The problem is, it is narrow, and fits great everywhere except the toe box is so freaking narrow it was crushing my normal-width feet. This is a narrow foot person boot or for people that like to be tortured. Too bad because I wanted to be able to have some boots for my Rome (Bataleon) bindings.

Perfect Boot

Snug in all the right places with a responsive flex that’s not too stiff, but still holds on big landings and steeps. I went a half size down to avoid packing out but I’ll say these haven’t packed out much at all. Really great all around boot, and super comfy. Foot print is small as well. I’m in a 10.5 so it’s nice not having to worry about drag on a regular width board. My Ravine Select loves these boots. Killer stuff again Rome.

Best boot out there. Have had several through the years and they're the best boot I've ever had

Super responsive, light, and a surprisingly small footprint!

I agonised over a new pair of boots this season, and finally landed on the Libertines. I was torn between the hybrid and the full boa (and for anyone wondering -- the double boa has dual zone upper and lower adjustment, and a manual pull-cinch for the ankle harness, where the hybrid has a boa controlled inner harness and trad lacing outside) and eventually went for the boa for the sake of simplicity. I don't know what the other review means with them being tough to get in and out of. The Salomons I just came from are much harder to get on and off. The double boa is easy so long as you loosen the lower and harness a good amount.

Now to the good! These boots are beautiful. They have a really slick look and I've had a bunch of compliments already. They also have a suprisingly low and flat toe box. I had to adjust my binding to strap as these boots were smaller in both length and toe-box height than the Salomons I came from. Which is great as now there's less toe overhang and less drag. The toe box is also really tough and coated in an abrasian-resistant material that protects it from damage when you're resting your edge on it on the lifts. Nifty little design addition!

The sole on these boots is super grippy and tough, too. No slips yet. They're great to walk in as well. The tongue is fairly stiff and wants to sit a little forward, so you do have to crank down pretty hard to get that really stiff feel. I thought they'd be a little stiffer if I'm totally honest, but they're super playful as well as supportive, which means you can mess around with some good flex, but you're also really supported. I think for the all-mountain rider who puts some energy through their boots and board, these are the perfect mixture. And to give even more flex, you can just loosen out the top boa a little, which makes them really playful without losing any ankle hold. I think I would have liked the power strap like the hybrid boots have, just to really lock in against the shin and liner, but that's absolutely not a dealbreaker. These boots are rad.

In terms of forward lean, there's a little, but it feels really natural as a position. I did have to crank my bindings forward one setting from zero, but now they sit super snug. Again, I think Rome have really hit it on the head here for the perfect balance of comfort and response.

Okay, the liner, then. The Ultralon liner was a big selling point for me, and feels really plush and snug when you put them on. It does warm up and get a little more supple through the day, but doesn't pack out while you ride, which is great. It also comes with a pretty good footbed as standard, though I slotted a Foot Doc one in there for some extra arch support! I will say that these boots don't have a huge amount of cushioning, especially in comparision to some freestyle-focused boots, but landings haven't been harsh. You get plenty of impact absorption, but also a super plugged in feel to the board which provides edge and angle awareness like no other boot I've ridden. So there's definitely a reason Rome haven't given this thing oodles of padding. But it's definitely worth it!

The liner secures at the top with two hook and loop pads, which overlap on the tongue and provide a lot of shin cushioning, so you can really lay into those toe-side carves. I would say that to get the best fit with the ankle harness, push the tongue down against the ankle first, then secure the top. There's also a really nice set of J-bars in the liner which are super comfy. I tried on K2s, Ride boots, Burtons, all of which had J-bars that felt stiff and uncomfortable. These are plush but still hold your foot in really tight.

For the ankle harness itself, I did get a little pressure point on day 1 with one of the metal loops, but it disappeared on day 2, so I suspect it's just how I'd put that tongue against my foot! The harness is secured to the shell, and goes over the liner through a loop in the tongue of the shell. Nifty design that works without feeling tight and stiff like the Conda or Str8jkt systems do.

These were all the features I was concerned about when boot shopping, so wanted to lay them all out here for anyone else struggling to make up their mind. I'm super picky and must have tried on a dozen different boots before deciding on these. And I'm really glad I did! I even sized down half a size from my Salomons because these have a roomy toe-box in comparison. And honestly, now, I just feel dialed in, supported, and more confident than ever. I'm laying into turns and hunting side-hits without a second thought. I didn't realise a boot could upgrade your riding like this, but it has.

Thanks, Rome, for a sick boot. Can't wait to score some matching bindings for next season!

Nailed It

I've owned a number of snowboard boots from Burton (Ion, Shaun White) and Nike (Kaiju) to 32 (Mullair/MXD) and these are hands down my favorite. The comfort out of the box is unmatched even beyond the Kaiju's, which were a significant step up in comfort from the others. The responsiveness and features (Vibram sole) easily outmatch the Kaiju's as the main I replaced those was due to a lack of grip for hiking. They feel and look extremely well built, but I have not tested them long enough to speak to longevity. I also replaced my bindings this year with Rome Katana's, which far exceeded my expectations. Rome is knocking it out of the park and I'm definitely on-board for the future!

Strong Stiff and comfortable

Built to last .. strong and stiff giving you a responsive boot that last. The double BOA makes it easy and quick to get in or out of the boot while locking down on you foot. No pressure points and or numbness experienced. Usual ride 100 days a season. Love these Boots.
