A cushioning pad of heavy fabric thickness (P-2), including double terry loops (T-1 and T-2), is formed in the high pad area (12) at the medial portion of the rear of the leg (L) to provide cushioning characteristics in this area to protect the rear of the lower leg of the wearer from chafing by the upper edge of a snowboarding boot. A pad of maximum fabric thickness (P-3), including triple terry loops (T-1, T-2 and T-3) is provided in the high splice area (13) above the heel (14) and defines a locking pad to force the wearer's foot forwardly into the boot when the foot is inserted into the boot to provide a firm fit of the foot of the wearer in the boot. Pads of heavy fabric thickness (P-2) are provided in the ball (18) and toe (15) to cushion the toes of the wearer and to absorb shocks in the ball area when landing after completing flip-over operations or maneuvers. A cushioning pad of medium fabric thickness (P-1 ), including single terry loops (T-1), is provided in the front half of the leg L and the instep of the foot F to cushion and prevent chafing of the upper front edge of the boot and the upper portion of the boot. optionally, pads of medium fabric thickness (P-1) may be provided in the heel (14) and the lower splice area (16) to cushion the heel of the wearer.
