Don't listen to shop employees that say you need to get a full size down and they may hurt your feet a few times but they will pack out. If they kill your feet just walking around the store think how bad they will hurt after a day of riding.
Christy Sports is notorious for this tactic. |

I'm really new at this so when we buy a boot, it's just one boot not a pair of boots right? So left and right foot does not matter?

boot sizing can be a pain. Especially because like shoes, each boot company's sizing is a little different. Which has always confused me... if they have a uniform scale, shouldn't the size be uniform to match the scale? But I have a pair of Lamar team boots and a pair of vans boots and the lamar's are size 11.5 while the vans are size 10... both fit very nicely. It really is quite dumb.

Boots definitely come in a pair! When you try on the boots, if one of your feet is a little larger than the other, get the pair to fit your larger foot.

Does that actually work? Also, how difficult is it to work with Thermo-fit liners, like the ones in Head snowboard boots? Thanks. |

How often do you replace your boots? I have Burton Rulers that are 3 seasons old and getting a bit beat up but still functional/

Thanks for the reply. I think the support is still OK although heel lift seems to be worse than when they were new.

Does anyone have the Burton Ion's? What do you like/dislike about them? How does the heel hold system work? |

how much do boots actually pack out? does it depend on the boot or are most boots roughly the same?

i have a question. and i'm sure people are just gonna say "tighten them". i went to the store to try on burton motos today. they were snug on my feet. my foot wouldn't wiggle around in them but the boot wasn't crushing my feet either. but uh up on the boot.. my calf had a lot of room to wiggle around. i swear i pulled those strong things as hard as i could and it wouldn't get any tighter. is that how it's supposed to be?

Are all salomons as small of footbed as the F20 or is it just the F series?
Any recommendation of salomon boots if money is no option? |

I have owned 2 pairs of Salomon boots in the past and they were both awesome boots. I owned the 2005 Salomon F24's and they were incredible boots.
very stiff and responsive, great feel and support, and also lasted me 2 seasons as a snowboard instructor with 100 plus days each season so they lasted forever. The new Malamutes would be my recommendation if money is no option. |

You would need to get the boot fitted, for heel lift you can try J bars or C bars around the ankles or a heel lift pad. |

my feet unproportionally wide to its length so my foot length is 9-9.5 but width should be a size 10ish.
last week at rentals i wore a 9.5 but i ordered a size 10 couple days ago. i hope it works out |
