SNOWBOARD BOOTS

SNOWBOARD BOOTS HOW TO CHOOSE

The boot is your friend that guarantees the success of your snowboarding day because the snowboard boot has to be comfortable and perform well.

Each boot has a specific use and purpose depending on your level of snowboarding.

Snow boots in most cases consist of a technical inner bootie that fits over your foot and slips into the actual boot. The inner booties of snow boots have improved exponentially over the past two decades.

Today we find very advanced technologies in the models on sale, and this allows you to always be in the best comfort in every riding situation.

Moreover, with the right snowboard boots you will have no problems with cold, grip and waterproofness!

The models we select are the best as a quality-price level of each brand we deal with.

We guarantee you will get the most out of your boot whether you are an expert or a beginner snowboarder.

SNOWBOARD BOOT FOR BEGINNERS

Finally trying snowboarding? Great!!! If you’re a beginner you need to learn how to choose your boot and don’t worry we’ll help you and you won’t make a wrong choice because if you start in snow now remember to choose the right boot for your level.

The ideal flex for you is the low one, as well as the board and the bindings.

Comfort is the first thing for those approaching the ski slopes, don’t think that the more you spend the better you’ll get because a high level boot if you don’t have the right skills might just give you problems.

Since they are very wraparound you would risk not getting the right feedback during your first outings and it is recommended in the first two years of snowboarding to buy gear at your level. If you really want everything top of the line try to stay on models that don’t have high flex and stiffness anyway.

Everything should be in harmony, board bindings and boots and you will see that by following our advice you will have a fantastic and unforgettable approach to snowboarding.

MEDIUM AND HIGH LEVEL SNOWBOARD BOOTS

If you are a medium or high level snowboarder then the game gets interesting for you because having passed the beginner mode you will now be able to better understand your needs from a snow boot.

When you start getting good you quickly realize that the soft boot and the comfort of it are no longer enough for you, to turn powerful in any situation your boot has to wrap around your whole foot and ankle as best it can.

In addition to the response a good high performance boot must also be comfortable, whether you are a freerider or a park XL kicker lover, and remember that your boot must be performant to give you maximum response during changes of direction.

There are many boots on the market that have different features for each use.

FROM PARK FOR EXPERTS

If your passion is megasuper park snowboarding then choose the right boot , because those who tour in Xl kickers normally prefer super wide clothing and high level boots usually with lace up closure.

Freestylers have always loved lace closures because they give a hardcore and street feel to your snowboard outfit.

Nothing prohibits you from choosing the lace-up you prefer but, the trend for park snowboarders is the lace-up.

There are in our catalog the best lace-up boots available for you, get ready for the new season and show your friends how to ride hard in the park! The boot for you who ride every day in the snowpark has to be comfortable with an ideal flex from medium to hard!

The super soft boot I would leave only to beginners and those who ride in the park , for you who have been riding for 2/3 seasons maybe it is better to find something stiffer but, just as comfortable.

BOOT SNOWBOARD MEN ALL MOUNTAIN / FREERIDE

Are you an avid freerider and like to ride in powder? Well, then you definitely know what you are looking for.

We can select you the best models on the market for your every requirement.

An expert knows what boot you are looking for, you also know what size you need, and you know very well that without a boot that is top of the line you will go nowhere.

You who descend in powder everywhere must always be at your best because during freeride sessions you can’t afford to have problems. Especially problems with your boot during the descent.

For an experienced freerider the quickest closures like “speedlace” or “buoy” are the best you can choose. Your changes of direction on the slopes will always be on point and you will have no margin for error.

If you are a splitboarder all the more reason the top of the line gear to buy is a must because going freeriding well with the right criteria requires experience and technique.

Only top gear will do you no good, if you don’t know how to lead in fresh more than well you will definitely sink either in 30 cm or 1 mt of fresh.

Always remember to never freeride outings unless you have sufficient skills to pull yourself out of trouble if you need to.

SNOWBOARD BOOT SIZE HOW TO CHOOSE

To choose the right size of snowboard boots you would need to measure the length of your foot to compare with the various tables of each brand, normally when buying a snow boot it is recommended to use one size more than your classic shoe size.

So in order not to make a mistake first choose the flex and level of the boot, second try to find the boot that gives your foot the most comfort.

Your foot should be comfortable inside the insole without squeezing or dancing.

If you are just starting out the main thing after the board and bindings are snow boots, when you are starting out we recommend boots with a soft flex to have a smooth comfort. the boot size normally should be taken one size bigger than the shoe size.

BE COMFORTABLE IN EVERY SITUATION

To make sure you don’t make a mistake, however, you have to take into account that everyone has a differently shaped foot, because for you starting out, the perfect snowboard boot is the one that doesn’t squeeze you and isn’t too wide. The tip of the big toe needs to be comfortable when it is inside the boot.

Having a narrow boot can lead to pain during your outings, plus you always risk having cold feet due to lack of blood circulation.

Conversely if the boot is too big your foot inside the bootie is comfortable but, you risk losing sensitivity and stability while riding.

Always remember that after a couple of outings your self-forming bootie will adapt to your foot, this results in the bootie becoming too wide.

Your foot will start to move too far inward and this is not good, it is important that your thumb lightly skims the bootie without giving discomfort.

What lacing system to choose depends on you and your budget, for beginners usually a classic lace fastener is recommended, but if you want to have a little extra speed when wearing the boots then the “speedlace” or “Boa” system are the best choices.

SNOWBOARD BOOT BOA AND DOUBLE BOA

These two systems provide you with more comfort during the day in case you need to take off or adjust your boot, if you love to be ready in the morning in no time choose the models with the “boa” closure.

In recent years the system has dominated in snowboarders’ choices, today the buoy system is the most used and chosen by most of the world’s snowboarders.

Especially those who like to be on the slope and those who go freeriding and need performance and speed while riding.

The double boa system is absolutely the best locking system for modern boots because in a moment your foot will have the right pressure you want.

If you have never tried the “boa” system, we recommend that you do so without further thought.

SNOW BOOTS WITH SPEED LACE CLOSURE

The speed lace closure system always stands out and has been used for many years now, this closure system adopted by historical brands such as Burton, Nitro, Salomon and many others has slowly replaced the classic snow boot with laces.

It looks very fast and reliable and in general it does not matter what brand you buy it from, every brand today has developed technologies that leave no margin for error in your choice.

We recommend this closure if you want to not have the hassle of lacing your boots and you have a low budget.

Snowboard boots with this system range from budget levels to top of the line.

SNOWBOARD BOOTS WITH LACES

The lace up even though it may seem uncomfortable it is still very popular and in the morning once laced up properly it ensures us all day long peace of mind and absolutely top comfort.

Beginners love it because it is affordable and comfortable in any riding situation, on the other hand, freestyle snowboarders who always ride at the park love laces to their boots.

Many brands still use laces in top-of-the-line models.

It’s purely a matter of personal taste, practicality and performance because each person has to adapt to their personal needs. Finding the perfect boot is possible!

WHAT BOOT FLEX DO I NEED?

The freestyle boot has become sought after and used for its comfort and versatility in and out of bindings.

Boot flex should be chosen with the criteria of understanding where and what you need to do with your snowboard, try to really understand your level and choose the flex you prefer. If you are aggressive and looking for a response to every little movement then stay on a stiff boot with a high flex.

It is important to evaluate the flex based on how much comfort you want, remember low flex for beginners and stiffer flex for experts.

HOW MUCH DOES A SNOWBOARD BOOT COST

The price of a boot varies depending on the level a person has reached, clearly the price level is proportional to your skill.

A good basic beginner boot starts at a price ranging from 130 euros up to 200. Already a boot close to 200 euros is to be considered a medium level.

From 200 euros upwards the technologies put into the boot become performative, from this price upwards we find good boots for every use.

Let’s say from 200 to 400 you buy an excellent level boot that will give you ideal performance.
