So I apparently broke a strap on the cheap snowboard boots I bought when I ate it hard and broke my snowboard (Shamless plug, check my blog!). While it is possible to resew it, my friend who would make the repair reccommends a new boot, and to keep these for backup.

I don't want to shell out for new boots, though having a good boot is an extremely important part of the setup. Instead I sent home to have my old snowboard boots sent out. Since I borrowed them from a friend I never knew the specs on the boot, but found them today as 2007 DC Allegiance's. They were a top tier double boa boot with an extremely stiff feel.
Thinking back, they were pretty hard to just walk around in, especially compared to the boots I have now, which just feel like oversize boots and are super soft. (I think I have issues with heel lift honestly)
Background aside, I wanted to know if anyone preferred a soft boot or one with medium flex even after their skills progressed further with many years of riding. Friends I talked to locally said they got a medium flex boot then got stiffer ones once they got the basics down.
What did you guys do?
