Unlike boards, snowboard boots don't line up quite as neatly in defined end-use categories (powder or freestyle, for instance).
Boots are either hard, soft or a hybrid. While the inside of the boots are pretty much the same from brand to brand, the outside varies greatly. Soft boots allow your toes to move, while hard boots allow for very little toe movement. Burton snowboard boots are some of the most popular boots in the snowboarding industry. But there are alot of other snowboard and snowboard equipment venders that make high quality boots, googles, clothes, gloves, etc. for the casual and avid snowboarders. K2, DC, GNU, House, F2, Nitro, and Oakley are just a few of the many high quality name brands for you to choose from.
Your 1st decision when looking for the proper snowboard boots is whether you want step-in or binding or strap binding. The fit of the snowboard boot and how it holds and supports your ankles and feet is the most important factor in your decision. Regardless of the type you intend to wear, choose the pair that fit your feet best. Doing so will reduce your chances of injury and help your snowboard control. Don't forget that they should fit your ankles tightly, and hold your heel down in the boot. Also realize that with the proper boots and bindings the snowboard -- in a sense -- become your feet. Therefore, your level of snowboard control depends alot on your boots and bindings. You will not enjoy snowboarding if your feet are sore, wet or cold -- so make sure you buy the best boots possible for your style of snowboarding.
