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 evolving today. However, it is important to know a few thoughts about snowboard shoes, because in addition to the large selection, there are many footwear that look like "snowboard shoes". Now I don't want to talk about the selection of snowboard shoes in the various shopping centers, because for me they are priceless (and for those who see that the prices here are good, I would recommend them to put on a Choc Basic snowboard shoe (similar in price to a "bargain multi" ) and feel that none of your multi sale shoes are as cheap as they are lousy..).- – -But back to 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 shoe is narrow when we choose it, and standing up straight can put a little pressure on our toes. If, on the other hand, we adopt a snowboarding stance in the snowboard shoes with our knees lowered, we only gently feel the end of the snowboard shoes. Each soft snowboard shoe will expand 3 mm, if we don't plan for this, we will carve it. Take out the insole of the snowboard shoe, stand on it, and it should be the same size as your foot, not bigger! If your big toe is high, that means you press from above the snowboard shoes, we should not allow more than 5 mm for the size of the shoe either.- – -A good snowboard shoe 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 in at the big toe, because that's another good thing. The material of snowboard shoes is mostly synthetic leather or pearl canvas. Synthetic leather is a better material, mother-of-pearl is cheaper, and split leather imitation leather is the worst. Let's also look at the capsules (in which we hang the shoe laces), 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, for which any snowboard shoe is compatible. On the other hand, we cannot put the good old step-in snowboard shoes on traditional snowboard bindings, because the soles are too bumpy and do not fit. 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.
