Answer 1

it depends wether you are serious about snowboarding or not. if its just your first time don't go and waste your money if you might not like it. if you love snowboarding and don't no if you should the answer is YES!! snowboard boots make it soo much more easier because they actually fit in the bindings.

Answer 4

snowboard boots r much stiffer than regular boots which helps u turn brand rly doesnt matter but u do need em

as for tips dont go over ur skill level but also dont b afraid to move up, also keep ur knees bent weight on ur back leg n stay relaxed

Answer 5

yeah coz otherwise ur feet will come out of the bindings...  nd they need to be pretty tight so ur heels dont lift....

You need specific boots b/c of the flex they give. As for tips- try to align your shoulders to your bindings and stay relaxed.

Answer 10

i would ur feet will probably hurt realy bad if you dont

Answer 11

i would recommend the k2 raider boa because they use a metal wire and tightening system. regular boots wont work because on the lift if your at a park you have to hold the board up with the boot and trust me the strings will snap
