SPK froze toe

[rossta.]

i got these new SPK boots, and they are sick.  super comfy and whatnot, but one problem.  my toes freeze almost instantly in any weather below 20*, anyone else have this problem?  any ideas on cheap fixes?

toe warmers?

mine do the same shiz, unbuckle them when u ride the lifts, get some blood flow.

I got these neoprene boot cover things to wear in cold weather, supposedly they keep the surface of the boot a hell of a lot warmer, and it really works, my toes have never frozen since. See here

just wiggle your toes. it takes a run or two, but it works i find, ahaha.

i was skiing at zero degrees all day and my toes got a little cold, but not too bad. make sure you put you spk's on loose enough so you can get circulation to you toes, and then also go inside often.

try riding them looser and if there still cold put duck tape on the seems to prevent air from getting in.

I got that on a pair of boots that didn't fit. I had to tighten them too much in certain places, and it still wasn't tight enough in other places. This killed my blood flow, and I got frozen toes. Maybe boots that fit really well would be better. But you said they were comfy, so I don't know...

weird...mine are fine...  maybe you just have bad circulation?

Undo the buckles when you are the lift and get some circulation going, it makes your feet way warmer.

everyone is diffrent for these boots! some will be fine some will be

kinda cold like me and my freind claims it feels like his toes are

gonna break off. u might have them to tight cuting off circulation.

like everyone else said unbuckle them on the lift. or you can get

battery socks for like 25 dollors have no idea where and they keep your

toes warm thats waht my freind uses

Answer those questions and you will be one step closer to solving your problem.

Bingo. Your SPK's most likely feel "comfy" because they're too wide and/or big for you and you're cranking them too tight to compensate.

and a custom footbed will help too. the stock one is so thin and flimsy
