Welcome to the Frosty Rider!

Boots are really something that you have to try on.  I would definately recommend trying on a lot of different boots from different brands to make sure you get a good fit.  Every boot (and foot) is different. 

Usually the companies will kind of mold the shape of their bindings/highbacks to the boots that they make.  So if you get Ride boots and bindings, they should work well together.

But if you decide to buy a different brand of boots, theres a good chance it will still work well with the binding.  Just check to see how the boot matches up with the binding (mostly making sure the highback has good contact with the boot).  Try different bindings with the boot you choose.

Welcome to the FR Community ontourage!  There are many options.  For a quick down and dirty I suggest the Ride Orion boot.  They are comfy and a good starter boot.  If you are heavier, you might want something more substantial for the support tho.
