Does anyone have any info on the red boots on the second slide on the home page?

There doesn't seem to have any info anywhere else

They aren't red they are actually orange, just the photo is misleading. They are the Ronix Parks (Relik). Nothing to do with the brand Shinn at all and I'm still yet to see anyone ride a Shinn board with boots. Not that I'm saying you can't but most of the boards I've seen don't exactly lend themself to that persuasion.

I didnt check the site, but they may be referring to the board called the red, the boots are generally ridden on the supershinn and the street , someone asked me to find out about warranty on the shinn boards using boots, Mark shinn said they hadn't had a warranty claim from using boots and the likelihood was very slim due to the construction of the inserts, seen a few guys ripping on the shinns in boots,

Did you even read the first guys post?... I'm guessing not.

They made videos with riders in boots on the Street, Phenomenal and Toyboy boards too.

I hate to say it but that board looked terrible on landings... Just because you can doesn't mean you should, North being a prime example of that.

For boots? I'm guessing thst's the question. If so I don't really recommend that many boards haha. I think the new custom isn't bad although slightly narrow in the tips for me, the Tona Pop is also good although not everyone likes the weight. The Airush Livewire is also pretty nice although some people aren't too happy with the quality. They are probably my top 3 for now, all have their ups and downs however and that's the reason I'm building a board of my own .
