We’re not sure what the Head crew have against even numbers, but their boot-naming system is one of the easiest to follow. Beginners can choose the One for no-frills functionality, while more experienced riders can skip past the Three and the Five to this: The Head Seven Boa snowboard boots.
If you like a more supportive, responsive model packing plenty of tech, the Head Seven Boa fits the bill. With 11 degrees of built-in forward lean it’s made for charging, yet isn’t ruthless on your feet in the way that some of its kind can be.

The comfort level is primarily achieved with the liner, the most advanced in Head’s arsenal. The multiple customisation options ensure a better-fitting boot, which in turn makes life easier for your feet. A velcro strap lets you fine-tune the fit of the toe box, while a simple-but-effective quick-lace does the rest.
New for this year is a moisture management system that uses coffee grounds to absorb, and then remove, any build-up of sweat in your feet. That can make a huge difference to your comfort levels – as well as those of the folk sharing your apartment.
If you like a stiffer feel, you can place an insert into a pocket on the liner, increasing the rigidity. Then once you’re blasting the pistes, a triple-density insole manages every bump in the road, from general vibrations to bigger impacts. There’s extra padding under the heel, where it’s most needed.
