How old are your boots ?
I always wear Salomon boots now after suffereing the same issues through various other brands.
But My faithful F?? were killing me at the end of the last weeks boarding.
Admittedly I am probably 1.5 st heavier than last time I used them but I have to face it that they are just worn out, despite still looking great. They just don’t offer the same level of support now.
I also found matching boots to bindings makes a big difference.
I have a Dupraz D1 with Carbon Burton bindings (Super stiff bindings) which put a lot more stress into the boot and my feet than my 2nd board, a Never summer Evo Freestyle board and Burton Cartel freestyle bindings that I rode on the last day.
With the softer Board / Bindings combination, my boots felt like slippers in comparison !!
For this season, I need some new boots
