When buying snowboard boots...?

What kinds of thing do you want your boot to have...i have never bought my own boots, just rented them but now i want to buy my own. Do you want them more stiff or soft and is the boa lacing system thing better than the normall lacing??


And which companies make the best quality of boots?





I just started snowboarding last year so im not going of any huge jumps or even in the terrain park yet but i want to...i am 14 years old and a girl...what type of boot should i buy??

When buying snowboard boots...?
First of all, your boots need to be the right size- make sure they fit nice n' snugly. The stiffness or sofness is a personal prefrence. The stiffer the boots, the more response you get, but you don't wan't too much, so you ned to rent different stiffness boots to find out what you prefer beefore you buy. Boa lacing is deffinately supposed to be better than traditional, but can run a lot more expensive, so you need to decide whether the extra dough is worth it or not. Some of the best boot brands are Burton, Celcius, Thirty Two, DC, and my personal prefrence, Vans. Finally, you ALWAYS want to buy your boots before bindings. If you already have bindings, that's okay, just avoid it in the future. The reason you want to but the boots firts is so you can find boots that fit your feet, then binding that fit your boots. If you buy bindings first, you then need to find boots that fit your bindings and feet well at the same time.

Reply:You should buy the boots that fit your feet the best dont try and be influenced by brands too much and by what other people say, as what someone else recommends to you as a good boot may not fit your feet well at all. The best thing for you top do is go into your local snowboard shop and try on all of the entry level boots and go with the ones that feel the most comfortable regardless of brand or style. As even if they arnt the best looking boots once your bindings are on you wont really see them anyway. Its vitally important that your boots fit you well if they dont you will find riding in them a nightmare.


As far as laces or the boa system i usually go for laces but thats just me, either of these will be ok. If the most comfortable boots have a boa system go with them. Hope this helps, Good luck.
Reply:right on!! a girl rider!!! i started riding at like 13...just wanted to say that............ thirtytwo boots are ggreat!! i have them.......very comfy......and pretty cheap......like $130 only
Reply:Go soft, they'll be more forgiving and you'll be less likely to get thrown by choppy snow. Plus, where you're smaller, you'll be able to flex them no problem. The boa system has come along way. If you can find a soft flexing pair ...go for it.
Reply:I started riding when I was 14, now I am 22, right on lady!! keep rockin!!! 32 makes some pretty bomb prof boots, super responsive, but also kinda more expert boots. I rocked the BOA system for a couple years, yeah they are convient, but they break easy, simplicity, and sturdy is key. DC is a GREAT boot if you are just starting. I wore the DC Judge boots for years, they are a boa system, and they have air pumps to help increase and decrease the stiffness of the boot, so, like I said, alot of things can break on them, but they are a good way to try a few different things. since they are so adjustable. but they are pretty expencive. Burton gear is good, but in the past couple years(I have had all burton gear for over 6 years) burton seems to be focusing more on style rather then function. So your boots will look cool. but not really work as well as you need. Good Luck, and keep on shreading!!
Reply:i just bought new boots for this upcoming season. i had always used burton boots but this year i went with DC. after trying them on i thought they were the softest most comforatable boots around...just like there shoes. you can find last years models like i did real cheap i got mine for $100. and there boots geared towards the parks and jumps..good luck anyway hope this was some help
