Whether you’re a novice, intermediate-level or experienced snowboarder, we’ve got just the right boot for you. First, you’ll want to look for a comfortable style that will keep you warm and protected so you can stay on the slopes for hours on end. Next, consider lacing systems that allow you to slide on and off your boots but also secure them well.
Durability is also important. Also a big factor when selecting a snowboarding style: water-resistant materials that allow you to hit even the toughest tracks but keep dry. You’ll be gliding through below-freezing temperature, ice and more difficult elements, so carefully consider your options. Read on for our top picks for men’s snowboarding boots.
