As I previously wrote, I recently purchased a 2014 HO CX, and the boots I chose to pair it with was a pair of double high wrap 2014 HO Attacks. Overall I've been very happy with the boots.
The first thing you will notice when you put these boots on is the comfort. If I was able, I would unscrew these boots from the ski and wear them to school everyday. The base of the boot is constructed to cushion under your foot, similar to how memory foam works. As far as the sides of the boots go they are very smooth textured, so it doesn't stick to your skin.
Next up is the functionality of these boots. The ease of putting on and taking off these boots is incredible. To put the boots on just loosen them, pull the tongue forward and slip your foot in. Next tighten the two sets of laces. One around the base of your foot and the next around your ankle (which provides great support). Then finally snap the lace on the button to the back of the boot, this keeps the lacing away while from your toes while you're skiing. To remove your foot the only thing you need to do is unbutton the laces from the back and then slip your foot out.
Finally I have one complaint about these boots, and it's more of a personal thing than a mistake in the boot design. I laced the boots up in the water no problem and they felt tight. Then once I started skiing my feet felt loose in the boots. Now this problem can be one of two things. The first thing it could be is, I bought the boots a little bigger so they would last longer. The other thing that could cause this is that resting in the boots and skiing in these boots creates different feelings, so if you lace the boots while resting they will feel different skiing. Overall though these boots are great, and if you are in the market for some new boots definitely consider the HO Attacks.
