ThirtyTwo's comfortable and convenient Shifty BOA Snowboard Boot is a go-to, thanks to its versatile design. Even if cruddy conditions have us second-guessing, the motley of features in the Shifty wil more→l push us onward and up the lift for a fun day of riding.

During full days spent sliding down rails and popping off every natural feature on the hill, we strap into the K2 Method Ski Boot.
