Hey everyone,

Ive been wearing my head mojos for a year season or so now and i absolutly love them when they are on, they fit so well when im skiing with them and i could not ask for a better fitting boot.

My problem is with getting them on...with all of my old boots i never had a problem getting them on but these fuckers take for ever and are just a big butthurt to get on!!! anyone know what the fuck my problem is?

i had some salomans that took forever to put on but half way through a run, they would cut the circulation off of my foot. did you try like taking out the lining and stretching it out at all? that might help

ehh if they fit so great i wouldn't change anything (stretching out the liners)....

be sure you pull the tongue all the way forward when you're getting your foot in instead of just wiggling your foot all the way in.

my race boots are kinda the same way, they're a bitch to get on but one your foot is all settled in its all good...idk i'd just deal with the two minutes of getting them on and be happy you have good fitting boots.

I have the same thing with my ghosts. They ski and fit me super good, but when I'm putting them on, the plastic always get behind the tongue and rapes my foot while I'm putting them on. Just don't be a pussy. I figure they fit and ski well enough to make up for the pains of putting them on.

best way to put on boots is to make sure the boot your putting on is behind you, to keep the ankle flexed to help it hook that corner, also to prevent the v flex cuts from cutting into you pull the tongue up forward and to the outside this opens the flex cuts and protects the foot, just make sure you don't pull the tongue too hard so that it goes between the flex cuts.

what i used to do to for my old race boots.... put them on a heater for a bit while you get your stuff ready or use a boot dryer thing if you want, the heat makes the plastic soft and they slide on a lot easier.

point your toe.

I am serious. Try it. I used to put boots on peoples feet for a living, and always just told them to point their toe, it works wonders.

Also, rather than pulling the tongue out (towards the toe of the boot), pull it upward (towards your noggin). Also a huge pain saver.

yes, the boot is designed to stay closed against the forward motion but not the upward motion.
