| Snowboard Boots & Bindings Designed For Women's Narrower Heels, Smaller Feet Just as snowboards now are made specifically for women, so are boots and bindings.Women's snowboard boots are typically lighter and narrower than men's versions. If women want to rip on a board, they've got to keep their narrower heels firmly in place as they shift from heelside to toeside turns. Women-specific boots and bindings offer that snug fit. Also, shorter and wider ankle cuffs are designed for a woman's calf muscle, which attaches lower on the leg than men's calf muscles. Bindings come in smaller sizes to accommodate women's smaller feet. A boot should not move once it's in the binding. Today's bindings offer complete adjustability from side to side, in the heelcup and the amount of forward lean. Equipment compatibility is extremely important, so make sure boots and bindings all work together — before you leave the store. You can test equipment during special demo days at nearby mountains. Riding on a variety of boards, boots and bindings will help you make the most informed decision before you buy. Ask your local snowboard shop, mountain resort, or sporting goods store about demos. |
