When I was about to stock up my snow boarding equipment for the current season and set out to gather some information about an urgently needed pair of snow board boots I haven´t come across a single website or equipment store simply providing unbiased information. Each and every site and shop was geard for a sell. How can you possibley make an informed decision if you constantly feel like being sweet talked into it?

The purpose of this website is to offer unbiased information about snow board boots regardless of big brand names like Burton, Northwave, Salomon, Vans or thirtytwo and without any pepp talks or pre-sells. You and me want to buy real products and not a hyped and flashy image of it!

Snow boarders know that how you control your snowboard largely depends on the way your boots and bindings are set up. Snow board boots have to fit perfectly and snuggly in order to provide the neccessary support. Their thermic must be excellent to keep your feet warm. Those snow board boots that do not meet these minimum requirements are useless.

In both soft boots and hard boots you want to feel a bit of toe movement space.
#7 The internal padding of your boot makes sure that your feet keep being warm and dry and it serves as a cushoning from heavy outer impacts on your foot.
#8 The holding power of hard boots is determined by a hard outer shell where as soft boots have a bladder inside.You want a snow board boot that keeps your heel snug in its holding after you have laced it up fully. If on your tip toes your heel is still not allowed to lift. If it does… it is the wrong boot for you.
#9 The various types of snow baord boots have a different level of flexibility depending on the style of snow boarding you go for itself. If you are a determined freestyler you will choose a pair of low cut freestyle boots that have molded inner liners. When using hard boots for Alpine riding, high speed carving or racing though you want less flexibility but a strong support.
