What size should you choose for your snowboard boots?
As with any type of shoe, the size of snowboard boots must be chosen with care.
If you take a pair that is too big, your foot and ankle will not be well supported in the shoe.
You then risk losing it and injuring yourself on the slopes.
Conversely, if you choose a boot that is too small, your foot will be too tight, the blood will not circulate well, which will accentuate the feeling of cold when you are on the slopes.
In addition, you should choose your snowboard boots before you even buy the board.
Why ?
Because in snowboarding, the foot is positioned perpendicular to the board.
Thus, the size of the shoes will have an impact on the width of the board.
Until you know the dimensions of your shoes, you cannot select the board,
Now let's see which size to choose for your pair of snowboard boots.
A universal system has been developed to facilitate the rental and purchase of snowboard boots regardless of your country of residence.
This is the Mondopoint.
Indeed, the English sizes for example have nothing to do with the French ones which can cause errors when choosing your snow boots.
All you have to do is remember your size in Mondopoint.
You will then be sure to have at your feet a pair of snowboard boots adapted to your size.
For example, a 38 in France is equivalent to a 24 in the Mondopoint system.
What other elements to choose your boots?
Once the size of your snowboard boots has been defined, there are plenty of other selection criteria to take into account to find the pair you need.
For starters, the flex.
This is the margin of movement granted by the shoe at the ankle.
There are three types of flex:
The soft flex:
it is ideal for the occasional and beginner rider.
This type of flex is very comfortable, but not very precise, which is not a problem for an athlete of this level;
The medium flex:
it will adapt more to a confirmed rider and will allow him good performance and good resistance.
Flexibility remains there, but it does not prevent precision.
You still enjoy good freedom of movement;
The rigid flex:
thanks to it, you will benefit from stability and precision.
This type of flex is suitable for expert snowboarders with very good control of their movements.
The comfort is less, but the support is excellent in order to allow all the fantasies on the slopes.
Now let's move on to the type of tightening, which is also very important for the snowboard boots to hold well on the feet.
There are three main ones:
Néaux lace
: it looks like the classic laces found on dress shoes.
So you can control the tightness on the whole foot and replace the laces easily if they break.
On the other hand, the lacing is long, and you may have trouble snugly tightening the entire shoe;
Quick lace system:
here, the lace is tightened with a handle that is pulled and locked.
It is a practical system and often appreciated by riders;
Wheel – Boa:
tightening and opening snowboard boots is particularly easy with this system.
Just turn the dial.
It is ideal for beginners.
