Need some help choosing Boots

[xJackx410]

I just bought a pair of boards

i got em for 100 bucks.

and im tryin to find a pair of cheap boots to use, pretty much i was told anything that has a walk feature so that it gives me some movement.

right now, im just doin some normal mountain riding, so i guess just a good all around boot would be the best.

I hope you're short. My 10 year old rides on 77cm boards.

Look into some of the Rossi soft boots

I didn't mean that as an insult, there are a LOT of people that simply do not know what they are buying until AFTER they have spent their money. There are a ton of CHEAP boards out there. With plastic bindings, and foam cores. They are Cheap in price and cheap in quality. Fun nevertheless, and obviously serve their purpose as well. There are more riders out there who are 1-2 times a year recreactional riders who never set foot in the park, or on the black diamond runs who those types of boards work great for. Then there are the others who push their boards harder and the flaws of foam core, plastic binding "snow blade" type boards start to show dramatically.


So you really need to define what tye of boot you are looking for. Are you looking for a Cheap type of boot that will get you down the hill, or are you looking for a bot that will more than likely outperform your boards, but will last you longer as you progress and serve your needs better. Are your feet still growing and will you more than likely need a new pair next season?

Either way the rossi soft lineup is a great choice for all catagories as they can be found on ebay relatively inexpensive, they have great performance, an upright stance, and most importantly they are one of the more comfortable boots on the market.

Comfort is #1 in any skill level as an uncomfortable day of skiboarding isn't fun for anyone.


Besides if Kirk can skiboard like a damn pro on some worn out boots from 1980 who am I to judge on what's right. I can only speak on what I've used myself, and out of all the boots I've used in the past, the Rossi soft line is above them all.

Go with what is comfortable and you'll have a good time..
You were right about something else, in regular ski boots you will more than likely be more comfortable in walk mode than ski mode if using your skiboards correctly. That's going to be pretty much standard based on posture.

I can't tell you how much this board has helped me. I'm new also and reading the responses helped me buy a worthwhile beginner board. I just bought some Rossi Soft Lite boots off of Ebay for like $100, I haven'y received them yet but can't wait to try them out after reading good feedback.
I take what these guys here say to heart since they really seem to know what they are talking about!!!


Ok just an aside- being a chick; shoes, boots etc are a way of life. Having well fitted shoes, boots are really important, ill fitting foot wear can cause major foot problems so spending extra cash on well fitting foot wear really pays off in the future.
