The Salomon F3.0 is the F2.0 with a little more comfort and a little higher end tech. It’s a rather aggressive all mountain to freestyle boot that wants you to go big. The addition of a new speed lace system closer to Burton’s easy speed lace system is well received and so is the additional cushioning in the sole. It makes for an easier to lace and more shock absorbent ride than Salomon offered in the past with the F-Series models

Salomon F3.0 In Depth Review
The Salomon F3.0 is a softer more playful version of the F4.0. It’s incredibly comfortable and a little more on the mid-side of the flex world. We love to see reduced footprint shoes because it’s always better to have less toe/heel hang; especially if you are a size 10 and up. There is a little design difference between the 3.0 and 4.0 boots in the bottom of the boot. The F3.0 has a velcro strap at the bottom, an ankle piece at the middle and a top piece. The F4.0 has 3 straps all done with lacing. The lacing locks at each key point and it feels a little more supportive/responsive than a standard boot tongue combo. This is a great all mountain freestyle boot, but it can be ridden with many board/boot combos.
