Testers were amused by the Freesoul 10's Harlem Globetrotters' sweat band boot cuff and they liked the boot's feel against the shin throughout its very long flex range. But testers also pointed out that the boot's lack of support fore-aft made it difficult to transmit energy to the ski and edging power was similarly limited.

While entry and exit received high scores, testers weren't enamored of the three different styles and directions of buckles that seemed to complicate the closure without any redeeming purpose.

Testers all felt that the boot was being tested a bit unfairly, a bit outside of its designated target application—the park—and felt that it could be an adequate shock-absorber for cool kids wanting to get from feature to feature in style.
