How to choose?
The classic separation of the Burton snowboard boots is based on the rigidity of the product. So, the hardest boots allow you to better control the movement while snowboarding. They are popular among professional snowboarders for speedy, extreme descents that require special fixation of the legs in order to avoid possible injuries and sprains.
These models are made according to the following principle: the inner part is made of soft material, and the upper part, on the contrary, is made of solid material. Full fixation occurs through numerous fasteners, which are securely attached to the leg. Beginners should refrain from buying hard shoes, as they will be hard enough to ride them.
Soft boots have less impact on the surface of the snowboard board, but they also have a significantly reduced load on the legs. That is why these models are very popular among beginners - it is much easier to study in them, and also mistakes are not so painful. They are comfortable enough not only to ride, but also to walk.
Snowboard boots should fit snugly to the foot, so it is important to be able to correctly determine the dimension. During the initial fitting, many make the mistake of buying shoes one size larger. Unlike ski boots, snowboard boots should fit snugly to the foot to ensure proper fixation of the foot.
Professional athletes give advice to beginners, who will help choose shoes by size: the first fitting must be done without an insider, and the foot should be advanced in the shoe to the maximum. If the product presses in the area of the phalanx of the thumb or little finger, this means that the shoes are undersized. Next, between the back of the boot and the heel, you need to insert your fingers in order to measure the gap: ideally, if two fingers fit.
