Hi, I want to upgrade my current boots and I'm looking at the Shredtowns, evo has 2014/2015/2016 with different discounts and I wonder if there's any difference between those except for thr colors?

I would ask about whether or not they fixed the kinks in the '14 > '15 >'16. My friend has the '14 (orange ones) and has had complaints with stitching of the boot coming undone and liners falling apart. I have wondered if they have addressed these issues in the '15 or '16 models. My hope is that they have made them more durable with each generation.

The shred towns are such a good boot!

I have the orange 2014 shredtowns that I use for both kiting and wakeboarding and absolutely love them! The are super easy to get on and off with a kite in the air, comfortable with plenty of flex (they are heat moldable which is pretty sweet), and protect your feet when walking on the beach. I used them all last summer and haven't had any problems with stitching or them falling apart. Active Water Sports in Beaverton/Oregon City has a pretty good deal on some 2014s or 2015s if you're size 8-10. Ask them to see if you can get a discount as their customer service is absolutely amazing.
