What To Look For
Lamar snowboard boots all come with the logo prominently displayed on the back, above the heel and on the bottom outside edge of the boot, which helps you identify authentic boots. You'll also find a stash pocket on the outside of the boot that lets you store money, lip balm or any other small item inside. Lamar snowboard boots were created to be durable and last for several seasons with a strong inner lining, reinforced heel and rubber sole. You should look for all these things to ensure you're purchasing an authentic pair and not a rip-off, reproduction or fake.
Common Pitfalls
When shopping for Lamar snowboard boots, keep in mind that the boots were made for use with bindings from the manufacturer and may not fit properly with bindings made by other companies. Also take the time to try the boots on and ensure that the boots fit your feet properly. Wearing a pair that's too big or too small can result in problems such as pain in the feet, accidents and an uncomfortable feeling in your heels. Take the time to try the boots on and walk around in the pair for a few minutes until you make sure it's the right fit.
Where To Buy
Lamar snowboard boots are only available from select retailers that offer a guarantee on the boots. The best place to buy the boots are from these dealers because of the guarantee. Sport Mart, a Vancouver-based sporting goods store, is one of the best places to buy these boots and the company recommends it on its website. If you're looking for used Lamar snowboard boots, try Play it Again Sports. This chain of stores specializes in used and refurbished sporting goods equipment and carries the boots in some of their stores at a reduced price.
Cost
The price of Lamar Snowboard boots range depending on the type, style and size. The company makes boots for both adults and children, with the child sizes costing much less. The Justice snowboard boots for boys and girls cost $35 to $40. Adult boots are more expensive such as the Force boots for women, which retail for around $100 to $120. The company also has boots that cost less (but have less features) such as the Matrix and other designs that cost $50 or less. These boots still carry a guarantee, but are more for weekend snowboarders than serious snowboarders.
