ThirtyTwo Stw Double Boa 2024 Boots de snowboard

Bought these as my first owned snowboard boots. They're quit comfortable. Pro's for me are the flex of the boot, which is actually a flex 3, and not a flex 5 as claimed in the description, so they are easy to manoeuvre. I bought a EU size 42 (just like my shoes) but because of the flex and the fact the boots will probably wear out over time, it would be better to go down 0.5 or even 1 size. Cons are the shinpads/tongues, which are to small in my opinion and therefore can move to one side after a few runs. Happened to me on the first day. It was not comfy and I had big problems transitioning to my toe edge because of that since I was literally pressing my shins against the outer layer of the boots. Guess you really need to tighten these boots up, which I personally don't like because my feet go numb when the boots are to tight.
