Boots Slipping....
I recently bought some Burton snowboard boots (size 13), and they are
slipping a little bit on the back heel. I have slipped on an extra pair of socks, which helps...but doesn't quit take up all the space. Any suggestions for modification to reduce heel slip? How about tucking another sock in there behind my heel??? Thnks... Jess |

I had the same problem in burtons - they are awful if you have narrow
or thin (not much meat between the top and bottom of your feet) feet. Your best bet if you don't want to buy new shoes or return the ones you've got is to go to the best store around and ask for a "boot doctor" They'll be able to make adjustments to the liner by adding padding to make them fit better. If you've got the cash get new boots. Valerie |

"I recently bought some Burton snowboard boots (size 13), and they are
slipping a little bit on the back heel. I have slipped on an extra pair of socks, which helps...but doesn't quit take up all the space. " I wore two pairs of socks in my sz 10 Burtons for 3 seasons before I finally broke down and bought another pair a half size smaller. The difference is huge. My turns are MUCH more responsive. Heel slip can create a dangerous situation. If your board doesn't turn when you initiate, you could end up hitting a person or a tree...or just looking like you can't turn. :-P "Any suggestions for modification to reduce heel slip? How about tucking another sock in there behind my heel??? " This sounds like a bad idea. Unreliable at best, uncomfortable probably, and potentially dangerous. I would recommend listing your current boots on e-bay and selling them for whatever you can get, and buying a pair of 12.5 boots. It also pays to try on many different manufacturer's boots. Different shapes, different fits. Good luck!~ Jason |
