Snowboard Boots

By their very nature, boots are substantial things. While shoes take care of your feet, boots have a wider brief. They provide support for those vital joints that enable the feet to adopt different positions in relation to the lower legs.

They used to have boots in soccer and rugby as well as American sports like football and basketball, but now they're different, and so are the words: today it's all cleats and shoes, and that tells you a lot about the sports themselves. The desire for agility outweighs the need for support in some cases.

There are still sports where big, tough, supportive boots are essential, and snowboarding is one of them. That's why, although you will see the term snowboarding shoes from time to time, if you want to buy snowboarding boots, that is the term people generally use.

How Technology has Shaped Snowboard and Boots

This is a sport which would once have relied on wood and leather, the traditional materials used or boards and footwear. But as new materials were developed for other purposes, their advantages were quickly recognized by the snowboarding community, and shoes for snowboarding were soon fashioned from manmade materials with all the positive attributes of leather but other qualities too.

At Sundance Ski & Snowboard, we have ranges of snowboard boot by some of the world's top manufacturers. They are tough, durable, as flexible as you want but as supportive as you need. They also look great; with contemporary materials you can have a striking appearance with very sensible qualities and every item in our catalogue has safety and security built in along with the movie star graphics and style.

The names are all here. Nidecker, Flow, K2, Vans, Thirty Two, Salomon, Head, and more. Every single one creatively designed, well-crafted and superbly engineered. Our customers are as discerning about their snowboarding boots as they are about the boards themselves. And we've got you covered when it comes to bindings too.

How the Current Style of Boots was Born

This being a relatively young sport, in its early days, people were adapting what already existed, getting what they could from mountaineering boots and ski boots, but as the sport's popularity grew, the manufacturers began to take it seriously and put the money into research and development.

There were different requirements to take into consideration: uphill and downhill, the new concept of splitboards, and the development of hard-boots and soft-boots continued independently. The result is the current situation where you can have what works for you, not just the run-of-the-mill.
