Will snowboard boots work with skis? or is there a different type of boot?

The boots are entirely different, because the binding systems are entirely different. A ski boot is hard and provides 100% of the support for your leg/ankle and attaches to the binding by putting the toe in, and stepping down, which hooks the back part of the binding over a bit of plastic on the heel of the boot. A snowboard boot is soft, and is manually strapped in with a strap over the ankle and another over the toe. The heel and ankle are supported by the high back of the binding.

There is a different type of boot, I wear snowboard boots when walking around the area until I'm ready to teach skiing. A snowboard boot is much easier to walk in and much warmer and dryer than hiking boots. Ski boots are much stiffer and give lots more lateral support and very little front/back give, snowboard boots have lots of front/back flexion and some lateral flexion.

Reply:Definitely not. You need ski boots %26amp; I recommend buying them over renting them. Boots used by somebody else freak me out.
