Front foot pain

Could be a  few things:

- toe strap too tight? 

-boots that don't fit properly 

-can i ask your stance angles?

-you could just be tightening your boots too much at the front? 

Ton's of possible things. Does the pain go away after the first few runs?

I think I am at 15 and 6, but will take a look when I get home. The pain is on the front side of my front foot. I do strap in as tight as I can. The straps are centered.

Thank you!

You would be blinded by my lack of skills :)

I do crank my straps as tight as I can get them, I will try to ease em up.

it can be a number of things. are you using boas? it might be a minor comfort issue for your boots as well. i would only change one thing at a time to help narrow down the possiblities.

^ its the lacing system on some boots, there is a dial on the front of your boot and you twist it to tighten the boots instead of traditional lacing

how do your boots fit? does your foot slide around in them at all? i had a similar problem and it was due to my boots being a little too big for me

The boots were a bit snug when I first got them, but they fit pretty well...no slop.

I would try heat molding the boots? although you aid they fit well, something might be irritating your foot? I heat molded my Nike Boots and the discomfort on the outside of my foot got ALOT better.

I find it always takes me a few runs to "adjust" to the discomfort of snowboard boots.  I recently found out that it's much worse and takes much longer with really stiff boots.  I highly suggest stretching and warming up prior to suiting up for boarding.  Warm up your ankles and make sure you have good circulation before putting on your boots.  That should help a bit.  Besides that, i do suggest trying different stances.  I personally ride duck 12/-12 with a slight difference when riding my direction camber Vapor (15/-9).  I understand you ride alpine but 25 seems like a lot to me.  Perhaps the forward lean on your highback is too much too.  That would put a lot of pressure on the balls of your feet and would tend to tire out your upper foot muscles more quickly.

I used to have front foot pain too and I ride regular. The issue with me was that I over tighten my boots and strap my binding down tight. After watching my friends tie their boots I realized right away why they didn't have the same pain as I did. Good Luck!

Also, at the start of each day when I get to snowboard it takes a couple of runs before I get that nice painless fit so I used to retie my boots at the start of each run until it feels just right.

I'd also recommend other insoles (be sure to get the right ones for your particular arch). You might think the stock insoles are good, but they never are.  I just replaced the fancy "mystic" insoles in my salomons for superfeet and they cleared up a big problem I was having with pain in my Achilles tendons.

the other thing could be tightening your binding straps too tight.  If you feel having them any less tight feels too sloppy for you, then maybe alternating the position of the straps on the heel hoop might temporarily alleviate some sore spots

Originally posted by 2zz You'll might be over cranking your straps and/or your boots. If loosen one or the other or both doesn't work. Try heat molding your liners.

My foot is also experiencing pains and Im pretty sure its because the boot liner is undergoing major wear and tear. Is the a way to replace the boot liner and not the whole boot?

Seems pretty expensive!
New boots would be cheaper.

Replacement liners

Had the same problem. The way out wat not to apply so much force when strapping in the bindings, the foot shall be a little loose. It provides same control over the board but sinificanty reduces pressure points on the feet.

When you are 'cranking' down your straps, pay attention to where the strap contacts the boot & where the buckles are as you strap in. If the boot is collapsing or buckles are creating pressure points you might have an answer to your foot pain.

snow boarding should not hurt your feet. any discomfort you are having should not be there. somethings take some adjusting to get perfect... it took me 3-4 full days on the hill to get my set up perfect to my liking... you may just have to make some adjustments... but remember you should have zero foot pain while riding...

I had the same problem when I changed my binding angles and had a loose ankle support.

I had a similar problem.  Front of foot and my toes were sore.  Then I just trim my toe nails a bit before riding.  Hope this helps =)
