spend your money on good boots (i personally like thirty-twos) and get some used bindings and a used board. imo better boots will help learning how to snowboard much easier and your feet will thank you after each day on the slopes. plus boots last many more seasons than bindings/boards.

Dude, get an Evol Freedom and some Airwalk boots... the board is crazy flexible and turns on a dime (easy butters and very comfy in the park) and the boots are like pillows on your feet...make sure you throw some crazy 1080 truckdriver backflips over the ski bunnies!!

Haha, kidding about the impossible trick, but for real though, I have that set-up with 5150 bindings and I love it!

airwalk boots aren't that great. save yourself money in the long run and get 32's, if you want a cheaper solution get some vans or northwaves.

I dunno man the ones I have are really comfortable in all conditions, be it the park or freeriding...but to the OP...just try them on in the store and walk in them for more than 10 seconds!! (Preferably wear them while you are browsing the rest of the store)...you'll know after a few minutes if they are right for your feet!!!
