I normally wear a womens 10 in snowboard boots but these were really small :( It's a bummer because i really wanted to try Nike - they are a good 1/2 size too small.
- so no Nike's for me (at least not this year) Curious to hear what people think of the boot.

Also check the Nike size chart and measure your foot.

Are you wearing a thin sock? Try it with the thinnest sock possible. My favorite is the Smartwool Ultralight ski sock. The boot will keep your feet warm, and a thinner sock will keep your feet warmer than a thick sock because it wicks away more moisture. This boot also has a heat moldable liner so you can heat it and it will mold to your feet faster, which will make it pack out a little. Also, the boot will pack out after a few days in it, freeing up more room. Once it packs out, your heel will be a little farther back in the boot, which gives you more toe room, in addition to packing out in the toe area. Try lacing them up (with a thin sock on), kick your heels in, and stand up and bend your knees. Your toes should be touching in the front but not curling. Strap into your board in a carpeted room and stand in riding position and see how they feel. Pretend to make a few toe side turns. Your toes should pull away from front or at least not be curled. Remember, even in the lift line, your knees are bent.
