Women’s Running Shoes Reviews

Buying snowboard, but unsure of what size I should get.?

Hey, my name’s Tori. I’m about 5’4, 125 pounds. I wear an 8 in women’s shoes, and a 6 in men’s. (Do snowboot sizes run the same as sneakers?) On Craigslist, I found somebody close to me that’s selling a 152 Roxy Sugar board. The only problem is that I’m a beginner, and I don’t have boots yet to try out the bindings, but he says they match the board. I hear it’s a good beginner’s board (reviews?).
Is there any way that I can know if this board is going to be the right size for me, and if it’s gonna fit my shoe size?

The size of the board will depend on the type of riding you’re looking to get into

Freeride: longer in length, and semi-directional. Moderate to stiff in flex. Used for long, fast turns in various types of snow from groomed hard-pack to soft powder.

Freestyle: Generally shorter in length with a Semi-directional or twin-tip shape. Moderate to soft in flex. Incorporates a deep sidecut for quick/tight turning. Used in the pipe and in the park on various jumps and terrain features including boxes, rails, and tables.

All-Mountain: A hybrid between freeride and freestyle boards. The ‘jack of all trades, master of none.’ Normally directional in shape with either a twin or directional flex. Moderate in flex for various types of terrain.

I would look in these size ranges for you

All-mountain – 148-151
Freestyle – 144-148
Freeride – 153-156

As for picking boots I highly suggest not buying boots online without at least first having tried them on. Theirs a good chance the boot may not fit your feet properly and have bad pressure points. Something I suggest doing is trying on a bunch of different brands with your boarding socks on, make sure you walk around and even do some hops in them. You want to make sure they fit very snug, your toes should just be touching the end of the boot but shouldn’t be crunched.

Also another thing most new people don’t know is that when picking a snowboarding boot size you typically downsize one full size from your normal shoe size. You do this because one as I listed above the boot needs to fit snug and also with time and use the boot will actually pack out, so if you buy a new boot that is already loose it will only become looser with time and use, negating control over the board.

You shouldn’t have to worry about toe drag just the binding size to match your boots, Most high end bindings can fit two sizes such as S/M and L/XL, You’d be in the S/M category and if by chance it can only fit one size then Medium.
