Dr D.
We do have people using our boot for snowboarding. We would not be able to justify the cost of redesigning or making a boot for that purpose as we are small company. The tooling costs would be far greater than our annual sale revenue. Our boot has a lot of forward mobility, but is stiff laterally. Although with the forward flex set softer, there is some movement laterally at the top of the boot. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Adam

Subject: Hardboots for snowboarding
I am a member of a group of alpine snowboarders that finds itself without a quality boot supplier. We are curious if you have ever done a set or if you have the capability of building such a boot. Current choices are limited to HEAD statos pros, UPZ and Deeluxe (formerly raichle). Choices for wider feet are especially limited. the boots would require some lateral flexibility and shorter sole length. what do you think?
