How to Choose Snowboarding Boots for Women

Video Transcript

"In this segment I am going to be giving you a run through on a girl's snowboarding boot. As you will notice I already have the boot unlaced. This allows for me to show you the inner liner which usually instead of having the lace on the inside, just so it is not super bulky they will have a pull tie to tighten it up which you will want to do and you need to lower this section all the way down and make it tight. Don't make it too tight so that it is cutting it tight enough so that your foot is not moving around a lot. Once you do this you will want to tuck all this excess in here and then you are going to want to go ahead and lace up your boot. Go through these eyelets right here and lace them up. You want your boots tight so your foot is not lifting in the back but you don't want them too tight so it is crunching the front toes. So when you lace your boot up you definitely want to make sure that your heel is not lifting forward when you put forward pressure on it because if that is happening it is going to make it so that the control with your snowboard, instead of you putting pressure on your toes and leaning forward you just want to be lifting up and there is going to be a leeway and your shins get super sore and it will make it so that you don't really have proper control over your snowboard. Like I said you want to make sure that the boots fit properly, not too big and not too small. You also want to make sure that you try on a few different brands because different brands make different widths and different brands make them differently allowing them to fit different for each foot. Because we have different size feet you want to try on a few different brands to make sure that your boots fit you comfortably because you're not going to be able to have a fun time if you are not comfortable. You will be worrying about your equipment the whole time and you just want to go have fun and worry about performance as opposed to worrying about the stuff that you are using when you are snowboarding. That's pretty much a run through on a women?s' snowboarding boot."
