1st rule in snowboarding
don't worry about the fuckn' graphics!!!!!!
had a friend that rode like shit cause he was looking down at his board the whole time.
make sure u like the board for the flex size width and all that don't pick it up cause u dig the graphics
but to your point:
half the dudes in shops donno shit sometimes. rubber soles on a boot isn't going to keep your foot still on the board without a pad. think about it walking through the snow. snow gets on the boot then it is snow on board not boot sole on board. if your a nebie to boarding use the pad at first. don't have to use the whole thing cut it up if ya want so u can see some of your graphics that bad. later u will find that just putting your foot infront of the back binding and putting presure against it will get u by once you get better.
