Three tips before buying snowboard boots

Snowboard boots are given in US sizes and this can create some confusion. Like most shoes, the same size from different manufacturers can be feel different. We therefore recommend that you look at the manufacturers’ own size guides to find the right size for you.

When it comes to the fit of the boots, they should fit as tightly as possible without feeling uncomfortable. A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to wiggle your toes while your heel remains in a stable position. Bear in mind that the boots will shape according to your feet, as well as stretch, which is why it is important that the shoes feel extra tight at the start.

To measure how soft or stiff snowboarding boots are, one considers how much flex the boots have. Manufacturers often use a scale of 1–10. The higher the number, the stiffer the boots.

  • Beginners are in general recommended a pair of softer (1-4) boots as this makes it easier to turn the board.
  • A pair of softer boots is also preferable for those who snowboard in parks a lot.
  • For the average snowboarder who likes all-mountain snowboarding, a pair of boots with medium (4–7) flex is recommended.
  • If you’re a skilled snowboarder who rides at high speeds and makes deep carving turns on the slopes, you’ll probably appreciate a pair of stiffer snowboard boots, between 7–10 on the scale. This is also a good option for freeriders in difficult terrains.

Traditional lacing: As the name reveals, traditional laces resemble laces found on a normal shoe. The advantage of this type of lacing is that you can easily adjust the tightening, and the lacing is easy to replace if necessary. Snowboarding boots with traditional laces are also often cheaper than other models.

Fast lacing: Snowboarding boots with quickfit lacing systems often have both upper and lower zones, which are tightened separately to provide an optimal fit. The system is easy to tighten, and you don't have to worry about your laces becoming untied.

BOA system: The latest system in lacing systems is the so-called BOA system, in which the shoes come with iron lacing. This lacing is connected to a control that you can easily turn to tighten or loosen the lacing. Depending on the model, there can be both double and triple systems, which ensure that you get a good fit around your entire foot.
