Snowboard Shoes Boots

Tips for choosing snowboard shoes:

While the development of snowboards has slowed down, the development of snowboard bindings and the APO with snowboard bindings ended, the snowboard shoes they are still developing today. However, it is important to know a few things about snowboard boots, because in addition to the large selection, there are many footwear that look like "snowboard boots". Now I don't want to talk about the selection of snowboard boots in various shopping centers, because for me they are invaluable (and whoever sees that the prices here are good, I would recommend that they put on a Choc Basic snowboard boot (similar in price to a "sale multi") and feel that none of the multi sale boots are as cheap as they are lousy..).

But back to the choosing snowboard shoes: Snowboarding is a board sport, so to some extent it is like kiteboarding, wakeboarding, skateboarding or wakeboarding. In these sports, the closer our feet are to the board, the more stable we are, the better we feel the board. So a good snowboard shoe has a low construction sole. Even if it is flexible under the foot pads, our soles will not go numb. (Those who recognize this problem should replace their thick, hard-soled snowboard shoes with flat, flexible ones.) We try to use more and more of these snowboard shoes in our snowboard rental.

Two: the good snowboard shoes the heel is sufficiently narrow, otherwise our feet will come out of it. We should know that Hungarians have average feet and narrow heels in world terms. The Czechs, Slovaks, Germans, Belgians, and Swiss have such feet (they also invented the velcro corner narrower). Italians, French, Spanish, Croatians and Romanians have stronger heels and ankles but narrower feet. That's how they are shaped like this snowboard shoes are developed. And Americans have wide feet and heels. So no one should expect a K2, Morrow, Burton, Forum or Sims from snowboard shoes, so that the heel is narrow. We are primarily German or Swiss snowboard shoes we are selling it because of this. These include Nidecker, Trans, Choc and the Nitro. The bottom line is that there is no company that satisfies everyone, because a brand follows a style. Snowboarders can have wide or narrow feet, high or low insteps, wide or narrow heels. This alone is 8 types of variations snowboard shoes for division.
A good snowboard boot is narrow, when we choose it and stand straight, it can press our toes a little. However, if we adopt a snowboarding stance with our knees lowered in the snowboard boot, we can only feel the end of the snowboard boot. Every soft snowboard boot will expand by 3 mm, if we do not plan for this, we will carve it. Take out the insole of the snowboard boot, stand on it, and it should be the same size as our foot, not bigger! If our big toe is high, i.e. it presses on the top of the snowboard shoes, we should not leave more than 5 mm for the shoe size.

Good snowboard boots should have a removable lining, let's see how strong the lining is, whether it can be pulled separately, and whether there is neoprene sewn into the big toe, because this is another good thing. The material of snowboard boots is mostly synthetic leather or pearl canvas. Synthetic leather is a better material, pearl canvas is cheaper, and split leather imitation leather is the most expensive. Let's also look at the capsules (where we hook the shoelaces), metal is usually more valuable than plastic.

Step-in snowboard shoes: It must be an illusion: they have not been produced since 2002 step-in snowboard shoes in the world. Why? It stretches the knee and puts additional forces on the ankle, which makes it tired much faster. It was more difficult to control the board with it, the sole of the snowboard shoe was extremely thick and stiff (the sole is far from the board, no "surf feeling"). So there were many accidents and tape breaks. Being an instructor, I do not accept snowboard students who want to learn with step-in. These snowboard shoes have no value anymore, they are often seen at vatera. Step-in snowboard bindings have been completely replaced by Flow and APO snowboard bindings, which are compatible with any snowboard boot. However, we can't put the good old step-in snowboard boot on traditional snowboard bindings because their soles are too big and don't fit.
The Flow bindings a thought about it: Flow last produced snowboard shoes with rounded sides for snowboard binding in 2003. Not since then. So we can buy snowboard shoes from any company with the Flow system for snowboard bindings, doesnt need not be the same name. One last thought: a beginner should only learn to snowboard with snowboard shoes or snowboard bindings where you can clamp/ratchet the snowboard bindings onto the snowboard shoes, because otherwise it will be more difficult to learn to snowboard.
