Cant get my foot in

[invaderskier36]

i got fitted for a 27.5 spk and it feels great while my foot is in but it is a bitch to bet my foot in if they have been in the cold in there anything i can do to make it easier to put on or do i just have to wait till i break them in?

 

[skipocketrockets]

dude i doesnt matter what boot u have (unless its too big) they are going to be complete bitches to get your foot in when cold

 

[invaderskier36]

no i mean if i leave them outside for like a min b4 i put them on its a bitch

 

[titsLOL]

cold doesn't help thats for sure I think the plastic gets stiffer so they're harder to put on. I find that with the spks if you just yank on the strap on the tounge while pushing down on the heel it works like a charm.

 

[skipocketrockets]

they will become a little easier as you break them in too.........but i have the salomon gun boot that is basically broken in and i have to wrestle just a little bit to get them on

 

[invaderskier36]

i have ski cold gear socks by under armour and its just like kills my anle like i cant get the right angle in

Put them by the heat in your car while you're driving for the last few minutes, just don't leave them there for too long.

ay, that's what i do. about 10 min before i get to the mountain i crank up the bottom heat and put my boots right next to it.

 

[invaderskier36]

the thing/string you pull? ya i losen that

 

[tjski]

im pretty sure its just the way every ski boot is made, its always a bitch to get on and off.

 

[invaderskier36]

ok i may not be pulling the tounge down far enough

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

would probly make your feet cold after but would that wakeboard binding stuff help? the stuff you use to get your feet in easier?prolly not...

 

[tjski]

ya you need to pull the tonge down pretty far and wiggle is to get your foot in sometimes.

 

[drewishish]

dumbest idea ever.

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

wrong...try covering your foot with olive oil then putting your feet in ice for 2 hours so your feet shrink.then after your feet have frostbite and the olive oil has absorbed into the skin heat them up in a deep fryer and proceed to put them in your boots...works like a charm....

THAT was the dumbest idea ever......

unbuckle them

seriusly though the plastic stiffens up by 20% when they are in the cold, and it does not take much time to do this. all that happens is that there is energy stored in the atoms in the plastic when the boot is at room temp. then when you go out side into the cold (closer to freezing) the heat (thats what energy is) disipates to the cold air or whatever is touching them making the atoms in the plastic move less, which means that the plastic wont move as much making them stiffer. this all happens really fast. so basicaly keep them in the car when you drive up to the mountain and leave them in it untill you put them on.

buy a boot heater. like 50 bucks for some and its the best investment

You mean soap? That's what most people I know use. But I second the boot heater idea, those things are money, put your boots on there for a few minutes before you put your boots on and it's amazing, nice warm boots that you don't have to fight to get your foot into. Do it.
