What are the most comfortable snowboard boots for an advanced rider?

Answer 1

Buy boots that are comfortable! Not loose, but not tight. Go to the store and try them all on. make sure you walk around for the entire day first so your feet kinda ache, it makes it more like you're at the end of the day on the hill. Find the boots with the best insoles and room for your toes. Don't just buy the coolest looking ones... even though you'll want to

I shoot for something light, as the snow will make my feet heavy anyway, and I want my feet to breathe. Then I look for grippy soles, and make sure they're easy to tie, and more importantly easy to untie. Make sure you can walk in them comfortably without your foot sliding around (the arches of your feet will thank you).

I hear the 32 BOAs this year with the heat moldable insoles are sweet. As long as you don't overbake the insoles.

Personally, I fell in love with my Salomon F-20's and have ridden them for 2 seasons. These boots are the reason I say don't go with the coolest looking boots. They are AWESOME!

Answer 2

Agree it is very hard judge comfort for you... I like a really stiff boot so I went with a k2 T1 which isn't as comfortable as a few of the softer boots out there but seemed to have the most comfort of the stiff boots I tried.

Answer 3

I'm a girl, but I'm friends with some pretty advanced riders, and I have heard good things about both the Burton Ion and DC Judge. I have one friend that didn't like the DC Judge, but a couple others that liked them a lot.

I have the Burton Irocs, and I really like the lacing system (the same lacing system as on the Ions)

Answer 4

Boots that fit you. Everyone has a different foot shape, and boots have different shapes. Try a few brands on so that you can work out which boot suits your foot shape.
