32 Women's Lashed Double Boa Review: A Park-Flex Boot That Can Ride All Mountain

Introduction

The 32 Women’s Lashed Double Boa is one of the more tried-and-true boots in 32’s women’s lineup and may well be the brand’s best-selling women’s model. The latest version benefits from a noticeable overhaul across 32’s line: the boots look sharper and the overall quality feels upgraded. This breakdown walks through the shell, liner, fit, and flex so you know what to expect before trying a pair on.

Who This Boot Is For

This is a boot aimed at riders who want a park-flexing boot that can still handle all-mountain riding. If BOA lacing is your preference and you want dual-dial customization with a bit of play in the flex, this is definitely something to consider.

One important caveat: 32 boots are softer than you think. If you believe you need a true mid-flexing boot, you may want to look at something a step stiffer. Flex ratings are also subjective, since the same boot will flex very differently for a rider who is 5’6” and 160 lb in a size 9 versus someone who is 5’ and 100 lb in the same size. Take that into account when choosing.

Shell and Fit Details

Around the toe, the shell uses dual-density material running back to a double-stitch seam. If you run a very large toe strap, you might feel pressure on that area, but for most riders cranking a toe strap is not a concern. The seam to actually watch is the double stitch near the toe, because the BOA cable sits right there with nothing protecting it. Resting your board edge against the boot on the chairlift is the main risk.

Moving rearward, ankle articulation has a fair amount of give, and it will work in over time. Remember that a boot is only as stiff as the day you try it on; it only gets softer with use. The back spine uses a multi-piece design that offers more flex than rebound, giving you plenty of play. At the bottom of the spine there is a small wrap-down section that slides better on a highback for phase-style bindings, plus a small rubber stop that adds a bit of rebound.

Around the top of the shell you get neoprene, which pushes out of the way rather than digging in if you have a lower or more defined calf muscle. The molded tongue is fairly malleable up top and gets a little stiffer further down, changing how much force you can push into it on toe-side turns. At the bottom of the shell, heat-reflective tape bounces warmth from the liner back in to keep feet warmer for longer.

The sole is 32’s rubber outsole and is more rigid than you would expect, which helps with damping. It is a low-profile sole, so you sit closer to your board. One fit note: the boot is a little bulkier on the side, which some riders will notice.

The Double BOA System

As the double BOA version, you get two knobs: an H5 coiler on the front and an M+2 on the side. The H5 coiler is the newer style that lets you back the dial out, so if you tighten two clicks too far, you can click right back out to loosen. The front dial controls the upper zone and the side dial controls the lower, giving you more customization over fit.

The internal harness is sewn into the shell so it grips the liner tighter and pulls it back in, creating a more uniform flex. It sits a little lower, which adds a bit more play above the instep.

Liner: Team Fit and Heat Molding

The Team Fit liner brings several upgraded features. You get multiple densities of foam, and there is one seam inside that some feet will feel and others will not. Around the toe section, neoprene foam pushes out of the way during heat molding, which helps if you have bunions or other forefoot quirks. Heel pockets on both sides hold your ankle bones in place, so if you swap the stock insole, make sure it keeps your ankle centered.

A C wrap adds rigidity and better heel hold, and a labeled Team Fit panel adds more structure to the liner. The top of the collar uses softer, more malleable foam with a double booster strap on aggressive, grippy Velcro. Inside, fantasy fur helps your foot slide down into place, and internal J-bars are shaped more like a U than a tight V, making them friendlier to normal-width and wider heels, especially once heat molded.

On heat molding: if you ride fewer than 15 days a year, getting the liner molded will speed up break-in. If you ride more than that, riding them as-is tends to produce a more durable liner with a longer lifespan.

Insole and Durability Notes

The stock insole has light posting, which is fine for recreational riders doing the national average of about 4 days up to 10 days a year. If you ride more than 5 to 10 days a season, you will probably want to replace it with a supportive aftermarket insole.

Buying Advice

Measured on a women’s size 7 shell without the liner: about 10 inches at the back and 10.5 inches at the front. With the liner in: 10.5 inches at the back and 10 even at the front. The forefoot measures roughly 4.25 inches wide, and toe to heel is about 11 inches. Measured starting at the 1-inch mark, the forefoot is 3.75 inches wide. The insole is 9.5 inches long and 3.5 inches wide at the forefoot.

The slightly more rigid sole helps with damping and makes the boot a bit more versatile than its park-flex label suggests. The best boot is the one that fits your foot and your needs, so get sized properly, ideally at a local shop where you can be fitted in person before buying.

Conclusion

The 32 Women’s Lashed Double Boa is a well-built, forgiving dual-BOA boot with a capable heat-moldable liner and thoughtful shell details. It suits riders who want park-friendly flex with all-mountain versatility, provided they accept that it rides softer than the numbers suggest. Get properly fitted and it should be an easy boot to live with.
