Boots are the closest thing for the body so they should match very good. While going to the snowboard shop remember not to put on you a few pair of socks because it isn’t necessary- and what’s more it may prove unpleasant. Presently boots are made of such kind of materials, that they ensure keeping suitable temperature of your body and your feet shouldn’t freeze. I wrote before not to put on you few pairs of socks- it’s very easy becasue if you do so you will have a few millimetres of loose in your boot. When you will be on the slope and you will have three pairs of socks on your feet it would be ok, but if you state that it is too hot and you will put on just one pair of socks you will see that riding won’t be very nice. Your foot will be displacing during the turning in your boot what will make turning more difficult. Whereas during the sharp turning or during the fall it may cause a sprain in your step-joint.

Which size?

Don’t ever buy boots which are too small or too big!! Your boot should match your foot perfectly- this way you will avoid torment and pain and you will be able to ride your board longer without the feeling of tiredness. When you are trying a boot on and you aren’t sure that this size is perfect you can take some test which will help you to disperse your doubts. Put your foot in the boot and lace it up maximum, so that the boot will adhere your foot perfectly. Next you must bend your legs on the knees and bend down. If your toes touch a filler too much it means that this size is a little bit too small. If you feel a filler just a little on your big toe it means thet it is very goo size for you. You must also take into consideration that such boot will stretch a little after a few visits on the slope.
