How To Check To Make Sure Your Boots Fit Properly

[@dont4get2wipe]

CUT YOUR TOENAILS before trying on boots, also. I got a pair of 32 like those - TM2 XLT’s. Excited to try them this season

I am a beginner and looking to get my first pair of boots. I have a tried a few in the shop and have heard conflicting advice from the sales guys there. My mondo is 295, I have narrow feet and I cant pick between a 11.5 and 12. Have tried Nideckers, Ride and ThirtyTwo so far. The 11.5 Nideckers feel comfortable once I'm in, but are kind of hard to get in to - which I'm guessing will get resolved with what you mentioned about the first wear out of the box. After wearing it for about 15-20 minutes, I could feel a little bit of pain on the bottom of my foot, on the outside, but nothing too bad. My toes feel firmly pressed at the front. However, once I'm in my stance, it feels fine. The 12 Nideckers were easier to get into and overall felt more comfortable, but I've heard so much that it needs to be snug, that I suspect it might get too big once it packs out. I also have room in the toe box to move my toes laterally. I havent seen any guidelines around how the toe box should feel, so could you share your thoughts on that? Ride and ThirtyTwo I only tried the 12s since they recommended it as my size. Ride, felt nice and snug through and through, even with the toe box, but pressured my ankle bone a little bit. ThirtyTwo felt great, best of the lot, if I think back, but again the space in the toe box. Also, thank you for the videos you make, its super helpful, especially as a beginner trying to get my first kit together.

Check out his video, its similar but a little bit more about how the boots should fit vs how to check if they fit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ-xZ3iEh96ieMU Most important thing to remember is the way a new boot fit straight out of the box is the tightest it's EVER going to be. They are only going to stretch out from there.

Can you recommend some custom insoles for flat feet? Also any recommendations for snowboard boot fitters in CO?

[@PeterGlennSports]

Oh man, there's a lot of good options when it comes to custom insoles to be honest. As for fitters in CO specifically I can't say for sure, but usually the legacy shops always have the best fitters. Goggle might be your best bet to figure that one out. 👍

I’m an advanced rider, and I went to my local store to get new boots. My usual shoe size is 42.5 EU, but they only had size 43 EU in stock. They assured me that half a size up wouldn’t make much difference, and the boots actually feel pretty comfortable. However, I have a few concerns. While the boots fit well in the front and I can move my toes easily, there’s quite a bit of room overall, allowing my foot to move around inside. Additionally, my heel lifts slightly at the back, though I’m not sure how much. What’s your take on this? Should I be concerned about the fit? (Step ons)

[@PeterGlennSports]

if the fit feels too loose or you’re noticing heel lift, it might be worth trying a smaller size or different boot model. Any heel lift, even slight, reduces response and can cause discomfort. There should be minimal to no lift.
