https://snowboardingprofiles.com/ride-rook-snowboard-boots-reviewAn uncomplicated, cheap and forgiving beginner freestyle boot. It's softer than average — clearly soft from the very first run. The good board feel also makes it an option for intermediates and advanced riders who want a dedicated jib boot. That said, it may be too floppy for a larger beginner, and it runs small, so the toes are quite tight.
