The snowboard boot has had, like the other parts of the technical equipment, a great evolution over time, initially simple boots were used such as those worn for mountain excursions, subsequently there were several passages, including the use of rigid boots such as ski boots, which still exist but are less in demand until today where the boot plays a fundamental role in the equipment used for snowboarding. It is often underestimated and taken little into consideration thinking that it is a negligible or of little importance choice, in reality it is a choice to which we must give the right importance because it is thanks to the construction, the fit and the precision of how it is built that our moves are transmitted to the board via the binding first. There are many parts to take into consideration, for example the inner shoe is the part that is in direct contact with the foot, consequently the materials and membranes that can be used, more or less breathable, with materials that can to maintain the internal heat and not let the foot cool down, the closure that we find on the foot pocket and the lateral support that in some cases we already have also in this internal structure are also fundamental. The hull, which is the external part, is built with different structures, shapes and materials, on the basis of these variants the rigidity or the support it offers us is distinguished, which sometimes identifies the type of use. In addition to the external structure, we must take into consideration the internal materials of the hull that are found between the foot pocket and the upper which have the function of insulating the foot from the cold that comes from the ground, in this area we also find structures used to make the boot more or less comfortable and cushioning in the sense of shock absorption. The upper, which is the part that rests on the ground, is engineered with different types of rubber and in different parts to offer optimal grip in any condition and finally we have the type of lacing that is used to close the outer shell. The precision from the point of view of the play that forms between the inner shoe and the shell, compromises the comfort and precision of use. We have selected different types of boots snowboard boots produced by the best companies such as: Burton, Dc, K2, Nidecker, Nitro and Ride.
