You don't have to get special boots just for the snowboard, unless it is a step in bindings and you would have to know the kind of bindings but, you can practically use any boots that fit in to the bindings, you just gota make sure that they fit you first lol.

"When ordering your first pair of western boots, you should start with a ½ a size down from your normal shoe size. If possible, you should stop by one of our stores (Cavender's) and try on several pairs of boots to see how each brand fits. We suggest you try on boots in the afternoon when your feet are the largest, and wear socks you would normally wear with boots, lightweight - midweight socks."
