Top 30 Snowboarding Boots For Men (PART 1)

Finding the right snowboard boots can be real tricky, especially if you don’t know what to look for. If you are a rookie in snowboarding, or if you just know too much about these boots to be realistic, we are here to help you decide this winter. Out of dozens of boots that came out and are yet to come out, we will pick the models that have the best characteristic – at least this will narrow your choices down.

What you need to think about when shopping for snowboard boots can be divided in three basic parts, according to Whitelines. Think about the flex, the features and the fit – and if you have to pick the most important thing out of these three, it is definitely the fit. It doesn’t really matter if the boots look amazing and have a super lacing system, liners and so on – if your legs feel like they will never function properly after wearing them, it’s time to say goodbye.

This is why we always recommend trying on the boots first – going to the local snowboard gear dealer and letting them help you decide which ones are the best for you. Measure your feet – this is the most important thing to do – and find the right fit. In the meantime, you can get informed about the best features from our list, so you can tell your dealer exactly what you are looking for. Go through our list, check out our suggestions – we are sure you are going to find something you like.

1 – Thirtytwo MTB Snowboard Boots

With the help of Jeremy Jones, these boots got designed to have”the walk mode”, as well as waterproof lace covers.

Made with a little help from a snowboarding legend Jeremy Jones, the Thirtytwo MTB Snowboard Boots definitely have the upper hand when compared to many others. Jeremy showed to be a great adviser, coming up with a new feature called “the walk mode”, which is placed in the back of the boot and allows you to move normally when you’re not attached to your board. On the other hand, when doing the thing they are made to do, the boots are definitely not going to disappoint you. Jones’ experience showed to be very useful once more, when he thought of waterproof lace covers – preventing the boots from freezing at lower temperatures and making you regret you ever put them on.

The perfect combination of snowboarding and hiking boots, Thirtytwo MTB Snowboard Boots also feature a Vibram sole, as well as a progressive flex shank that makes it very stiff and offers great support for your feet. They will allow you to have a mind-blowing experience this winter, without the hassle of sleeping in your boots because the laces froze or going through the torture of walking through uneven terrains in boots that are not made for it.

5 – Nike Lunarendor

The Lunarendor has it all: the 3D molded spine, customizable flex and the Strobel technology to keep your feet warm.

Nike really knows what a snowboarder needs when it comes to boots. The Lunarendor has it all – the design, the support, the modern approach, the customizable flex… but let’s go one by one. The 3D molded spine will provide the best feeling, that of support to your legs (and it’s not just a feeling). When it comes to flex, like we said before – it’s up to you, and in the case of Lunarendor it couldn’t be more true – in one boot you get three levels of stiffness, so you can even switch between them according to your preferences.

When it comes to lacing, there is an external lock that lets you tighten the right zones to the right level. They’re also perfect for landing on your feet – the Lunarlon system will provide extra heel support and lightweight cushioning. And, the Strobel technology will keep your feet warm and accumulate the heat you will be needing on low temperatures. No need to mention design – it’s obvious that it’s hard to top it.
