I wear size 12 shoes and always thought I was 13 in snowboard boots. My current DC Judge standard boots are 13 and feel stretched out. Just got Nitro Darkseid BOA and was concerned because when standing straight up my big toe touched, this video helped me realize when I bend my knees they are perfect and super comfortable. I’m not wearing them to walk around, I’m wearing them to ride with knees bent. So hey, they are actually a true fit compared to my regular shoes, thanks 🙏🏻
Glad it helped, enjoy the ride!
Helpful video but im still unsure on my boot size 🤦♂️ just got some burton motos 10.5 super snug but afraid 11 will be too big
Check out this video, it’s similar but it’s more about checking boots you already have which should be perfect for your situation-> How To Check To Make Sure Your Boots Fit Properly

@PeterGlennSports thanks man still unsure would you says too loose or too tight is better if yoy had to choose one?
@@thesincalconnect559 brand new, tighter is always better because the boots are going to break in and get bigger
So you're saying my 20 year old boots need to be replaced? Okay, one more season and I'll do it, but only because you said 10+ years old.
Haha, yeah. There’s been a few advancements since then 😂
You'll need new bindings to go with it.
Really good explanation. Particularly the part about what socks to wear during fitting was a handy tip for me. I thought my 12 year old boots were good because no obvious signs of wear on the outside…bought a new pair this year and realized the other ones are like wet cardboard compared to the new boots! I was able to get some powerful carves even with those old boots so definitely looking forward to this season with new boots!!
Yeah, that is always a hard thing. When you are using your boots and breaking them in over the years it can be hard to know when they’ve gone soft. Stoked you got some new ones, definitely going to feel more effortless edge to edge and have way more stability. Enjoy the ride!
Matt my dude keep killing it bro sad to see the house gone but glad to see you still doing your thing Peter Glenn is very lucky to have you
I was watching an old house video and hit the link in there…brought me to some Canadian site, is that something totally different?
@@dont4get2wipe yeah they closed up the door my brother Peter glen will get my money now because of Matt
Much appreciated, thanks for the love brotha!! ❤️🙏
Do these rules apply to a splitboarding boot? Wondering if toes would start hurting in split mode if they are touching the liner. Great video, thanks!
@@matiasgibbs251 same for all boots, they’ll all break in and you’ll have plenty of room for your toes 👍
This is the perfect guide how you choose your right size of snowboard boots! Great job!
Much appreciated!
Thanks man! I’m from the uk so don’t have a local snow shop and just bought my first pair of boots which are on the way, will come back to this video and go though all the things again, this helps a lot!
No worries, let us know if you get anymore questions!
I can feel the heel side lifting up when i tippy toe. My big toe is generally shorter than the rest of my toes with the exception of the pinky toe. my longest toe is already touching the tip of the boot - its not uncomfortable by any means but if i size down, i think my toes will claw. I guess now the question is how much "claw" is acceptable? Or are there boots for people with longer toes? Any advice?
I really you don’t want your toes curling up just touching the front in a new boot. If you are getting heel lift you might just need different boots that fit your feet a little better.
@@PeterGlennSports skinny heel, long feet problems 😭
@@TvbLOVER1 you might wanna look at some of the 32 boots in a traditional lace. Something from the Lashed up in the lineup. They have pockets on the outside of the liner by your heels and come with foam donuts to help really pinch around your heel to lock your ankle in better.
Also, the standard lacing system allows you to really focus the lacing across your ankle for even more hold down.
Great video! So helpful. Would an insole fix the problem of a slightly loose boot?
It could, just depends on the insole itself. As long as the replacement insole is thicker in the the heel than the one the boot came with
Just got a pair sent home and my toes are touching I was gonna send them back 😅
Probably just keep them now cheers
Glad it helped!
Perfect advice! I got new boots this year and I got them 2 sizes smaller than my previous boots (the shop that sold me my first pair did a terrible job in guiding me for my size).
I was feeling the new boots snug and it felt weird at home, but after trying them 3 days on the mountain I have to say they are very comfortable while riding and I can finally control my board without any heel lift!
So listen to this dude’s advice he definitely knows what he’s talking about!
Awesome, stoked to hear you got the right size in the end. For sure the most important thing when it comes to riding!
Was about to send back some boots I really liked because of toe touch. They felt "just a bit small" out the box. You've convinced me to try them out, and saved some me a few duckets on return shipping. Many thanks!
Glad it helped! Break em in and enjoy the ride!
Agreed!!! Nothing is more important than proper fitting boots!
Preach!! 👍
What is that white snowboard with the eagle/skull graphic?
Last seasons Rossignol Juggernaut
I'm probably a 13.5 4E in normal shoes and have been using 14W Burton Photons the last few years. Unfortunately they're BOAs. Soloman's seems to only be 2E on their wides. Any suggestions to try? I'd really love laces, but my feet limit selection. Maybe I'll try 13W's and see if my big toe won't die.
Might check out the 32 TM2, it comes in a wide version as well!
my daughters feet get cold in the morning for the first few runs. she has good socks and good boots. bought her some full merino wool smartwool socks full cushion so hopefully thatll do the job, because she has tried stance, and 32 with merino wool and still has an issue. any other suggestions?
I would look for socks with a higher merino wool content
hopefully the full cushion smartwool will work, if it doesnt do i have any other options other than heated insoles which are outrageously priced.@@PeterGlennSports
@@32srt32 It's possible that heated insoles/socks might be the answer. One other thing that you should ask though, are her feet getting cold overall or is it more about the toes going numb. A lot of the time people that have boots that don't fit properly and have to tighten then down so much get cold toes more because of the loss of blood flow to the toes than anything. If so a hunt for better fitting boots could also be the answer. My wife has that issue, she has very narrow ankles so it's hard for her to find boot that holds her ankle down well.
got her boot fitted and boots are fine. its only the first couple runs on a cold morning. but ill ask her next time it happens.@@PeterGlennSports
You hit all the wickets awesome video man.
Thanks!
Good info here. I'd add though that it's probably best to forget your shoe size in whatever part of the world you live in and just measure your foot and go from there (Mondo size for example). This is because most people have no idea what size shoe they really are - they just know what size shoe they wear and they are not the same thing because some people like snug shoes and others like them loose.
That is true, it’s baffling how many people are not wearing the right size shoes.
you look like @tigerfitness's long lost brother lol
is the anon m5 an upgrade to the m4 or a different offering? it costs less so I'm confused
Not an “upgrade” per say, just a new goggle with a mellower toric lens than the M4
Best explanation after watching 12 other people fail. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Stoked to see Matt at Peter Glenn. Crazy that I found gear thats mostly not available in snow shops near resorts always at Peter Glenn in Florida & they ship fast.
Much appreciated, thanks for the love!
Great vid! Ty sm!
Excellent video my dude you set me up for a downsize/proper fit on the new DC Judge step on in white 🤙
Glad to help, enjoy the ride!
What ThirtyTwo boots are those? Available?
They are and they aren't. Those are the Thirtytwo Lashed which are obviuosly still available but that version/colorway is one I got at an event YEARS ago.
@@PeterGlennSports Damn, they are a beauty! Another quick question if you don't mind. Im between the Thirtytwo TM-2 and the Lashed. I love riding the park (Just broke my BOA's on my K2 and I think its time to switch to laces) but also love hard charging with my friends who ski. Because of that I'm leaning toward the TM-2s.... Thoughts?
@@planterznuggz I'd go TM2. I'always say you can always make a stiff boot softer but you can't make a soft boot stiffer. Especially when it comes to laces you can crank down the heel on the stiffer TM2 and then leave the top a little looser (or even not lace all the way up) to give the boot a softer feeling flex for those days you want a little softer feel.
@@PeterGlennSports Love it, thats great advice. Really appreciate it!
@@planterznuggz No worries, thats what we're here for! Enjoy the ride!
so should it fit as tightly as ski boots or half as tight
They should be snug but not uncomfortably snug and the heel should be held down as much as possible.
What model from thirtytwo is this, love the color way, must have.
Sorry to say it but it is a limited edition color in the Lashed I got years ago.
dang! lucky :) @@PeterGlennSports
❤❤❤
Thanks for the love!
amazing video
🙏
Let’s compare two boots by Ride … the Deadbolt and the Lasso Pro. They are both double boa but the Lasso has one boa doing the whole external lacing and the other boa is tightening the liner to the shell by the heel.
The deadbolt has one boa doing the exterior upper lacing and the other doing the lower exterior lacing. The liner on the deadbolt synched up traditionally.
So the question is… which boot is better at relieving that foot pain and also responsive?
Honeslty when it comes down to it it really just depends on your specific foot shape and which of the 2 boots fits your foot better.
