I sometimes have trouble getting on my boots but once they're on they fit fine. What are you guy's tricks on how to get boots on real easy?

Word. The plastic is softer and more flexible when it is warmer. If they are in the car, put them in the front seat footarea nd put the heat on the feet and crank it to warm them up.

yea keeping them warm is so clutch. I remember i had kept my boots in my sisters car outside overnight, and the next morning it was like trying to force my foot into a steel cast. I almost broke my foot

Keep them buckled at the notches u usually have them at when ur done wearing them for the day. And heat them up, its makes the boot more flexible and easier to get into it then. also when ur putting them on push the tounge of the boots down onto the front of the boot and tht'll make it easier. I love my boots so much tht sometimes i ride home with them on! lol

just make sure ur foot is going straight in, if the way ur foot is in the boot is off the correct direction, then u will have a real hard time getting in

i always store them exactly the way they would be if they were on my feet (i always buckle them exactly the same) and i keep them warm (room temp is best) and i have never had a problem with my boots not fitting right

slide your feet like halfway into them then do a handstand, hold for a few seconds then start spinning on your head while wiggling your toes, the centripetal forces should make the boot slip right onto your foot.

first you go steal the feet off a manequin then you roast your boots over an open flame getting the plastic super soft then you put the manequin feet into your boots and bucle them as tight as possible. and if you believe any of that youre a dumbass. you put your boots on by pulling them

Put them on the floor with the heater on them on the way up. Makes them real nice and soft.

maybe because your foot grew? ya keeping buckles done retains the boots shape. the performance of the boot will be better, too. The boot keeps the shape of your foot and probally should be easier to put on.
