Exploring The Importance of Proper Snowboard Boot Fitting With Remind Insoles

If you snowboard—whether often, occasionally, professionally, whatever—then you know first hand that it’s much more than a simple winter activity. To many, it’s a lifestyle and to many others it's a thrilling way to get your adrenaline pumping while spending time on the mountain. Whatever the case, to fully enjoy this exhilarating experience, every snowboarder knows that having the right gear is crucial. 

While boards and bindings get a ton of attention, one essential component that often goes overlooked is snowboard boot fitting…as a well-fitted boot can make all the difference in the world—for better or worse! That's why we’re here to talk about the importance of boot fitting and explore how Remind insoles can assist in achieving the perfect fit all winter long. 

The Significance of Proper Boot Fitting

A well-fitted snowboard boot can significantly enhance your performance during those long days on the mountain. It allows for better control of your board, precision when it comes to tricks, and more efficient energy transfer. Loose or ill-fitting boots can (and will) lead to a lack of responsiveness and control, which will quickly ruin anyone’s epic day of riding! 

That's why comfort is key to enjoying a full day on the mountain. A snug and well-fitted boot reduces the risk of pressure points, blisters, discomfort and foot fatigue. Less pain equals more runs! Properly fitting boots also provide better ankle support and stability, which not only assists with preventing injuries—especially when dealing with challenging terrain and those ripping high-speed descents—but keeps your feet secure all day long. Don’t learn the hard way…always be prepared! 

So where exactly does Remind come in? The Role of Remind Insoles in Boot Fitting.

In the quest for the perfect fit, many educated snowboarders turn to custom insoles. But not all custom insoles are created equally. Remind insoles are an excellent choice to enhance your boot's fit and performance, as our insoles are designed with snowboarders in mind and offer tons of benefits to make you feel good and ride comfortably.

But hey, don’t just take our word for it. Remind Ambassador and all-around ripping pro snowboarder Travis Rice said it best, “Simply put—Remind insoles work. I love them. And I have much better results with these than any $300-$400 custom insoles,” he tells us. “It’s the foundation, you know? It starts from the foot up.” 

Our insoles are designed to provide exceptional cushioning and arch support. They cradle your feet in comfort, reducing fatigue and discomfort during long rides.
 Plus, models like our Remedy can be heat-molded to your specific foot shape, creating a custom fit that ensures the best support. Straight up game-changers! This customization minimizes pressure points and maximizes comfort, which is more important than you might realize.


Insoles also play a crucial role in energy transfer from your feet to your snowboard. The improved responsiveness and power transfer that you’ll find with Remind insoles shoved comfortably in your favorite snowboard boots make for a smoother and more efficient ride, whether you prefer the Medic, Cush, Destin, or again, the Remedy.


Another thing to consider is how hard snowboarding can be on your joints. Remind insoles are designed to absorb shock—reducing the impact on your feet, knees, and hips—which can help prevent injuries and prolong your riding sessions.
 Because at the end of the day, that’s all we really want, right? To keep doing the things we love, for as long as we can do them—pain and injury free. 

How to Choose the Right Insoles

Each of our insole options are designed for all walks of life, but we also know not all feet are the same. So, when selecting a pair of Remind insoles for your snowboard boots, consider the following factors:

Foot Shape: 

Different insoles are designed for different arch shapes. Consider whether your feet have high, medium, or low arches, and choose insoles that match your foot shape.
 For instance, the Destin is designed for folks with a lower arch, whereas the Cush and Medic both work wonders for people with a mid-high arch. (Not sure which Remind insoles will work best for you? Take our Insole Finder Quiz and find your perfect sole-mate!)

Boot Size: 

Insoles should not be too thick, as they may cramp your feet within the boot. Just something to keep in mind! So, you definitely want to choose insoles that fit comfortably within your boot.
