ThirtyTwo Men's Footwear

Frequently Asked Questions

• How should I size ThirtyTwo men's snowboard boots and what should I expect during break-in?

  ThirtyTwo uses a 1:1 Lasting which means true half sizes; follow the brand size guide and measure your foot for best results. Their Intuition heat-moldable liners are 100% moldable so you can fine-tune fit after initial break-in, and new boots typically feel snug at first before the liners settle and the heel hold systems bed in.
• How does the TM-2 compare to the TM-2 X Stevens and the Shifty?

  The TM-2 is a versatile team-style boot with a medium flex suited for all-mountain riding, while the TM-2 X Stevens is the Scott Stevens signature take on that platform with tuned flex and often team-oriented fit details. The Shifty is noticeably softer and geared more toward park/freestyle riders who prioritize flex and mobility over stiff response.
• What liners and footbeds do ThirtyTwo boots use and how do they affect comfort and response?

  ThirtyTwo commonly uses Intuition heat-moldable liners in dual-density constructions—Comfort (microfleece), Performance XLT (durable), and Elite (high-rebound energy foam)—which balance warmth, support, and rebound. Footbeds like molded Evolution or Elite energy foam provide arch support and an impact-absorbing midsole that influence board feel and long-day comfort.
• What lacing systems and heel-hold technologies are available on ThirtyTwo boots?

  ThirtyTwo offers traditional laces, hybrid setups with EZ Slide loops and locking hardware, and BOA on select models, plus a Hybrid Power Strap for midfoot security; these options change entry speed and micro-adjustability. Heel-hold is improved by features like Tongue Tension+/Performance Internal Harness, re-engineered heel cradles, and included heel hold kits/donuts to reduce lift and dial in fit.
• Which ThirtyTwo features should I prioritize for all-mountain riding versus park riding?

  For all-mountain use prioritize a medium-flex model (around a 7–8/10), Performance or Elite liners for rebound and support, a supportive internal harness, and a Michelin Fiberlite or Evolution Foam outsole for traction and cushioning. For park and freestyle choose softer-flex models like the Shifty, softer Intuition or Comfort liners for mobility, and simpler lacing for quick tweaks on the hill.
