Boot SummarySnowboard boots are mostly considered soft
boots, though alpine snowboarding uses a harder
boot similar to a
ski boot. A boot's primary function is to transfer the rider's energy into the board, protect the rider with support, and keep the rider's feet warm. A snowboarder shopping for
boots is usually looking for a good fit, flex, and looks.
Boots can have different features such as lacing styles, heat molding liners, and gel padding. There are
snowboard boots that are made for most
bindings and some that are made for "step in" style
bindings. Step in
boots will need to be purchased in tandem with their corresponding
bindings.Full Article
