Time for some boots - Snowboarding Forum

10-25-2008, 02:26 PM

Alright, I'm getting ready for the new season, first time going with my own equipment. I purchased a GNU 11up board and UNION Data bindings, now I am on the search for boots.

I will be riding mostly freeride since this is only my second season. I wear size 13's so its hard for me to try on boots locally

, the shop close to me has a limited amount of choses, I tried some Ride boots ( cant remember the model) they were really uncomfortable, and a pear of Salomon F24's which felt nice but they are so expensive $300+, can somebody recommend something like the Salomon's but closer to $150-$200 in price range, Thx

32 boots are sick. Zappos is a good way to try on boots/shoes and then send them back. I know this sounds lame, but if you dont have other sources they have free return shipping and also overnight shipping. I would go for the 32 lashed or JP walker prospect maybe. I myself have ridden 32 lashed, and dc's, and sim's boots. 32's are by far the best, for freeride and freestyle mix.

People seem to like the ThirtyTwo's, I'll most likely go with those's this year. Thanks man

Are you seriously going to go with what someone recommended to you online without seeing your foot? Get the boot that fits your foot and your needs. Go to your shop and try on every boot you can.
