In the sport of snowboarding there are three types of boots that you can choose from. The first option is the hard boot. These boots, as you are probably aware have a more rigid design which in turn gives you less flex when connected to your snowboard. The most common use for these is when you need maximum control on the board with a minimum of movement in your feet. A typical application of these would be during a slalom course where you have to make quick and decisive turns with little time to think about it. They give your ankles much support as the outer shell of the boot is made solely of a hard plastic material.
