The best way to get your boots perfect!
step 1. go to a reputable shop (or an online store that is willing to help you with fit and offer you return opportunities for free like Sierra)
step 2. try on the boots at the end of the day with snowboard socks on (or whatevery socks you ride in). end of the day? yep as the blood pools to your feet by the end of the day, making them swell slightly.
step 3. walk around the store (or house). simulate carving (bend your knees and rock back on your heels or rock forward on your toes). walk around some more.
step 4. keep walking around. check out what is playing on the TV at the shop or at home.
step 5. check to see how they might fit with your bindings. be gentle as you don't really own the boots yet.
step 6. inquire about any performance features. hopefully they have heat molding options.
step 7. smile. you got some killer boots that fit. it's probably been 20 minutes in the boots so you get a good feel on how they would fit on your feet.
step 8. pay for your boots (if you are in the store) and get those suckers heat molded!
step 9. buy other shit like orthodics if your feet are like 99.9999% of the population (wacked feet).
step 10. SHRED! LOL
