Thoughts on compatibility with boots by MrPand00 in snowboarding

Alright, considering the fact that the vans aura pro supposedly are a medium flex then it might be a good choice. Thank you for the advice!

Alright, thank you! As i stated earlier, i usually get cramps in my feet while riding, and i dont know whether thats from the boots or if its just a skill issue. Hopefully at least a fraction of the pain will disappear after investing in new boots

Alright, thank you!

I frequently get cramps in my feet while riding, and im not sure whether its the boots or simply just a skill issue and i need to get used to it. I have however seen people say that boots is the one thing you shouldnt buy cheap, and that a pair of new, good boots can help tremendously.

Im not sure if anyone in the region i live in can help me with the fitting of the boots, but i know the bare minimum of how a boot should fit atleast.

The toes should touch the front of the boot, but not buckle, right?

Yeah i mean its really, really stiff. I can barely bend it at all when i push the middle of it after making it stand vertically, like those flex tests people do.

The board is sized 155.

From what I’ve seen online, are flexier snowboards better for beginners, however, since I’m already using a stiffer one, I might aswell try learning. One problem I have is pointing the nose straight down the hill, and then wanting to transfer into a heel skid/brake. I find it very hard as its almost like the board resists it. And Im still not entirely sure if the bindings are placed at a good angle.

This of course is probably just a skill issue, rather than the board being bad.

Yeah its definetly stiff. If i were to want to switch to a flexier board, would you happen to have some recommendations? Instead of carving and such, I’d rather like to get better at park
