It depends on your style of boarding, if your going to be hitting the indoor slopes and prefer to freestyle
(boxes/rails/pipe/kickers etc)a fair bit then look at getting a more flexible boot (Flex 5+) If your style leans towards speed, carving and off-piste, then get stiffer boots (0-5).
32 lashed are very nice boots, ridiculously light, very durable with good protection, and they fit my wide feet! I would recommend trying them on in a TSA branch to figure out the size you need, then hunting them down for a cheaper price online, I'm a size 10 but settled on a 10.5, there was quite a noticeable difference in the 10 and 11.
A comfortable pair of boots definitely makes a difference imo.
Anyone been to Hemel yet?
