If you snowboard on wide feet, you have about 30 wide boots to choose from, and two-thirds of them are Burtons. I read the snowboard boot range of nine brands on their US sites this week: six sell a wide, from 21 Burton models down to one each from K2 and Salomon, while DC, Vans and Rome sell one width. The brands also disagree about what a wide is. Burton keeps the same outer boot and changes the liner; K2 makes its Maysis Wide 7 mm wider in both liner and shell; ThirtyTwo says its TM-2 Wide has 16 mm of extra width in the forefoot. Here is which to buy, and how to fit it.
We have not bench-tested snowboard boots. There is no Podiatrist Tested score or seal on this page and no measured numbers of our own. Every width, price and description comes from the brand’s own US website, read 16 October 2026, and is attributed to that brand. The fitting and clinical advice is mine. How we test.
The short answer
- Most choice: Burton sells 21 of its boots in Wide, 17 for men and 14 for women, from the Moto BOA and Mint BOA at $279.95 to the Waverange X Pro at $729.95. Eleven of the 21 are Step On boots.
- The most extra room a brand puts a number on: the ThirtyTwo TM-2 Double BOA Wide, which ThirtyTwo says has 16 mm of extra width in the forefoot. The K2 Maysis Wide is 7 mm wider in liner and shell.
- A stated EE: Ride’s Lasso Pro Wide (men’s) and Hera Pro Wide (women’s) are built on what Ride calls a wide last in EE.
- Also in wide: five Nitro boots (the Team in lace, TLS and BOA, and the Venture Pro in lace and TLS) and the Salomon Dialogue Dual BOA Wide.
- No wide at all: DC, Vans and Rome, and no brand we read sells a kids’ wide.
- Do not size up for width. A boot a size too long lets your heel lift, costs you control and makes toe drag more likely. Buy the wide in your size.

Source: each brand’s US website, read 16 October 2026; Burton’s description of its wide boots is from its own article on wide-fit snowboard boots. A model counted once may be sold in men’s and women’s versions, and in lace, BOA or Step On. Ranges change by the season; the brand’s own page is the authority on the day you buy.
What a “wide” snowboard boot actually changes
Three brands tell you, and they describe three different things.
- Burton changes the liner, not the boot. Burton says every boot it labels wide has the same outer shell as the regular version, with a liner that swaps foam for stretch neoprene panels. That gives room where the foot is widest, the ball of the foot, without making the boot bigger. Burton suggests a wide if your street shoes are EE or wider, and says that if you are torn between the two, choose the wide, because it does not sell its liners separately.
- K2 widens both. K2 says the Maysis Wide is 7 mm wider in the liner and in the shell.
- ThirtyTwo gives the biggest number. ThirtyTwo says the TM-2 Wide has 16 mm of extra width in the forefoot. It does not say whether that is the liner, the shell or both.
Ride puts its two Wides on an EE last, which tells you the width but not the millimetres. Nitro and Salomon say only that theirs are wider. None of the nine brands publishes the inside width of its boots, regular or wide. A ski boot at least prints its last width in millimetres on the box; see our ski boots for wide feet. Snowboarders get a label and a promise.
Which wide snowboard boot for which rider
- Women: Burton is the only brand with a real range, 14 women’s models in Wide, including the Felix, Highshot and Waverange Step On boots. Ride’s Hera Pro Wide is the alternative.
- A beginner on a budget: the Burton Moto BOA Wide (men’s) or Mint BOA Wide (women’s), both $279.95.
- A very wide forefoot: the ThirtyTwo TM-2 Double BOA Wide ($469.95), for the most extra forefoot width any brand states, or the K2 Maysis Wide ($379.95) if you want the extra room in the shell as well as the liner.
- Step On bindings: Burton, which sells 11 Step On boots in Wide.
- Big feet as well as wide: the Burton Ruler BOA goes to a men’s 15 and the Nitro Team boots to a 33.0 mondopoint; ThirtyTwo’s Wides stop at 14.

A wide boot and a wide board are different problems
A wide boot is about the width of your foot. A wide board is about the length of your boot: if your toes and heels hang far enough over the edges of the board, they drag in the snow when you turn. That depends on your boot size, your board’s waist width and your stance angles, not on whether your boot is a wide. Burton’s wides use the same outer boot as the regular width, so they should not hang over the edge any further. If you wear a big boot, ask the shop to check your overhang on the board you ride; several brands, Nitro among them, sell wide boards for exactly this.
Fitting a snowboard boot on a wide foot
- Wear your riding socks and walk. Burton suggests walking around in a boot for at least fifteen minutes before deciding. Pressure points that appear after ten minutes in the shop are the ones that ruin a day on the mountain.
- Toes can touch; the forefoot should not pinch. A new snowboard boot should be snug in length, with your toes just brushing the front when you stand, because liners pack out. A boot that squeezes the sides of your forefoot will not pack out enough to stop hurting.
- Lock the heel, free the forefoot. A wide forefoot often comes with a normal heel. A dual-zone lacing system, such as a Double BOA or a lace boot with separate zones, lets you loosen the front and tighten the ankle. If your heel lifts, the boot is too big or too loose at the ankle, not too wide.
- Watch the insole. A custom or aftermarket footbed can improve heel hold and arch support, but a thick one takes up the volume a wide foot needs. Try the boot with the footbed you will ride in.
- Ask about heat moulding. Many shops can heat-mould a liner to make room at a bunion or a tailor’s bunion. It is the cheapest fix for one sore spot.
Numb toes, cold feet and bunions in snowboard boots
When a snowboarder tells me their toes go numb or cold by lunchtime, the boot is usually squeezing the forefoot, and the nerves and blood vessels between the long bones of the foot are taking the pressure. The first fixes are free: loosen the lower zone, take out a thick sock or footbed, and unbuckle on the lift. If that works, the boot is too narrow, and a wide is the long-term answer. Numbness that does not go away when the boot comes off, or that you get in ordinary shoes too, is worth an exam.
For a bunion, the pressure point is the inside of the ball of the foot, which is exactly where a wide liner adds room. A tailor’s bunion, on the little-toe side, is the same problem on the outside. If one spot still hurts in a wide, have the liner heat-moulded there before you buy a different boot. See shoes for bunions and shoes for a tailor’s bunion for everyday shoes that leave that joint alone.
Questions people ask
Do Burton snowboard boots come in wide?
Yes, 21 of them on Burton’s US site, for men and women, including 11 Step On boots. Burton says its wides use the same outer boot with a stretchier liner.
What is the widest snowboard boot?
Nobody publishes inside widths, so nobody can say for sure. Of the brands that give a figure, ThirtyTwo claims the most extra room: 16 mm in the forefoot of the TM-2 Wide. K2 says its Maysis Wide is 7 mm wider in liner and shell.
Should I size up in snowboard boots if I have wide feet?
No. A longer boot lets your heel lift and your foot slide, which costs control and causes blisters, and it adds overhang on the board. Buy a wide in your true size.
Do I need a wide snowboard if I have wide feet?
Not because of width. Whether you need a wide board depends on your boot length and stance angles. A wide boot that keeps the regular outer boot, as Burton’s do, does not add overhang.
Are there wide snowboard boots for women?
Yes: 14 Burton models and the Ride Hera Pro Wide. The other brands’ wides are men’s.
Are there wide snowboard boots for kids?
We found none. Burton’s kids’ boots and the other brands’ youth boots come in one width. For a growing foot, buy for width first, check the fit each season, and avoid hand-me-downs that have packed out to someone else’s foot.
