Which is better....?

Question

I got 2 pairs of snowboard boots, which i can return 1 of. One pair is too tight and one too lose. Which one should i keep?

(i want them too last at least two years)

Answer 1

you should keep the tighter boots because you always want tight over loose while snow boarding

Answer 2

the loose ones...it will be better w/the loose ones that way you can grow w/o having to buy new ones...and you can have more socks on(warmer)lol....and i imagine that they are much more comfortable than the tight ones;)

Answer 3

If it is possible you might want to exchange the pair that is too small,  for a pair that fits good now, and hang on to the larger ones until they fit well.  A good fitting boot will give you so much more control on your board.

Answer 4

It depends how tight and how loose you are talking about.  Try this with each...  put on your boots normally and strap into your bindings, bend your knees and lean forward (toeside) if you feel your heel lift at all get rid of that pair.  Tight boots can be stretched at alot of board shops, and usually stretch a bit after a couple runs at the beginning of the day when you are riding.  Hope this helps you out.

Answer 5

well if you are still growing then the loose one for sure but i would also still get the looser one because if you tie it so its snug then your fine or if the tight one is uncomfortable then definitley don't get it and yea i do snowboard.

Answer 6

well what i do is get the inside of my Boot heated up and then i stick my feet in them to make it fit to my feet and i have had those for 2 years now and i went up 1 size they feel a little tight but its not hurting or anything i would do that but the Boot you don't use sell them so you can have some xtra $$ for new boets in the coming years
