What brand name is the best snowboard boots?

Answer 1

You should always go with what fits you the best. Salomon makes a real good boot, with locking tightening systems (which are almost always better than regular lace-up) and DC is apparently good with the locking too. Burton and Ride are the best boots. Pure comfort and quality. I rented a pair of salomon boots, and they buckled in the heel making it very uncomfortable to ride.

Answer 2

Other than hard boots, the majority of snowboard boots today are soft boots to be used with a traditional strap in binding. However, there are many differences in lacing styles and the levels of quality.

There are also differences in mens and womens boots as well. Womens boots for example are narrower, have lower cuffs and are generally softer flexing. For more information about some of the differences in snowboard boots check out the link.

ANSWER:

Soft Boots- most comfortable and can be used with highback bindings and flow-in bindings. This type of Snowboard Boots allows for a large amount of movement in just about any direction.

Hard Boots- designed for precise control. Hard Boots support your foot, ankle, and lower leg firmly, making them best for racing and high-speed carving on hard snow.

Hybrid Step-In Boots- good choice for those who want the convenience of a strapless system. People who are looking for a mix between the comfort and flexibility of Soft Boots and the control of Hard Boots will often opt for Hybrid Step-in Boots.
