My snowboard boots hang over the front of my snowbaord is this a problem?
March 21st, 2009 | by admin |So I am 6′3” and have size 13 Burton snowboard boots that I just bought today. Im pretty new to snowboarding but when I put my boots on and into my bindings my toes hang an inch or so over the front of the board. Is this a bad thing? Will my toes catch the snow and spin me out? Do I need to buy a wider board? Angling my bindings more is not an option please keep that in mind.

yes, cut off your toes first

Not necessarily, some overhang is normal, but you don’t want too much. You may have to ride it and see. It’s important that the board isn’t too wide though or you won’t be able to turn at all.

Yah propably, when you turn right your toes will get stuck into the snow and that would be bad. you would pry crash.

Yes because it might make you trip if that makes any sense

could be. if your feet are draggind while your carving toe side, thats not good. I got size 12 boots, but i also have a big foot board from burton. these boards are made for people who have 11+ size feet. go to burton.com. its really up to what you like and your feel

My boots slightly hang over my board too, but not that much. I think it’s all relative to your board vs. boot size?
My boyfriend is a size 11 boot and the guys at the store suggested he look into getting a wide board -like maybe the Custom Wide. Then the toes wouldn’t hang over as much and catch the snow.
I would suggest going to your local board shop and asking them.

yes when you are doing toe slides.
