Is it o.k. if my snowboard boots are kinda tight?

Question

I just bought a new pair of boots and they are kinda tight. I never worn snowboard boots before so I don't know if this is alright. I don't want them to cut off circulation or anything.

Answer 1

Basically:

If their tight, but it dosn't hurt, and it's comfortable, thats perfect

If their tight, and it hurts, and is uncomfortable, thats bad

Answer 2

they are better off tight rather then loose. if they are REALLY tight like you cant even move your toes then you should probrably get a bigger size but they should be fine

Answer 3

Tight is a relative term when it comes to snowboard boots. If they are snug and your feet are not squeezed against the end of the toe then it is fine. They will break in and pack out. However, if your toes are jammed (more than slightly rubbing) then you will want to get new boots. Boots are the one piece of equipment you don't want to skimp on. You're in them all day, make sure they are comfy.

Gloves you want to fit as well, it's not something you want to worry about.
