Vans boots have a neoprene flex zone in the toe which makes contact with your foot, it often gives the impression that they are too small. However, once you get used to it, you'll see why Vans are our best selling snowboard boots. It helps keep your foot in the right place, reduces heel lift and toe nail smashing. If you are unsure, size up. heel hold is so good, there is little advantage to under sizing. Like all snowboard boots, you can expect them to pack out a half size within the first 6-10 days of riding. Nothing replaces the rider trying them on because there are so many variables, this is just what we have learned after fitting at least a thousand pairs of Vans boots.
