What size snowboarding boot should i get my girlfriend?

• My girlfriend is a size 6.5 shoe size what size snowboarding boot should i order her i dont wanna go have her fitted because it will give away the suprise.

• Answer:

  You can get her a size of 23.5cm. Although it's really difficult not to get her fit anyway, because it's important to consider the proper fit of the boot. The feet should be comfortably snug within your boots without having any pinches or pokes that can cause poor circulation. The toes should be able to wiggle slightly but not be able to move forward or backward. Buying boots that are a little snug is a good idea because boots tend to loosen with time and can open up some space after a while. Too much space, however, is a bad thing and will have negative effects on your heel hold.
