How to fit your size
for Adult Snowboard Boots:
As a general rule of thumb you're snowboard boots should fit like any other boots that you have in the house. You should have some toe movement along with a solid heel hold. With time you're boots will break in. The padding within the boot will compact and you may experience a slight increase in space. This is why it is critical that a boot fit snug both as it relates to the toe movement as well as to the heel hold.
Heel Hold: To get a proper sense of a boot's performance you absolutely must lace it up and give it a good go. If you want to take it to the next level, strap yourself into your bindings, placing your other foot on the board, and check to see if you can lift your heel within the boot. A shortcut for this is to stand on the toe of your boot and go through the same steps.
Toe Feel: If you are in doubt as to where the pressure on your toes is coming from, simply pull out the insole and measure your foot against it. If the length is ok then you know that the pressure you're feeling is not because your boot is too small, rather the pressure is coming from the padding that surrounds your toe. With just a few hours of riding, or walking around your house, this pressure will be eliminated once the padding compresses.
