Let us give you the boot!  At the Colorado Boarder we firmly believe your snowboard boot purchase is the most important of all your gear.   When your feet hurt and turn cold, you generally stop snowboarding for the day.  On the other hand if your feet are comfortable and warm,snowboarding all day is the only option.  We carry the top brand boots from Burton, Forum, DC, and 32.  And yes alternative lacing options are available from BOA and Burton Speed Lace.
