what up guys,

last year i had this problem but just sucked it up, but pretty much my calves are too damn big for my boots. i work out no homo and been bulking up and wont be cutting down for a while and my calves just dont fit in my boots that well since theyre too big!!!!!!!!!!!!

i rock full tilt booters and first chairs, depending on what i'm riding. what do you guys recommend me doin? should i cut down the liners (whcih i dont want to cause they are so nice), or what? its been making my feet all sore cause it stops the blood from gettin down there.

cheers and k to anyone that helps

There are a few things which can be done. Firstly would be a boot which is shaped in the calf better for you, but if you dont want to have to get new boots there are still some things which can be done.

You could try raising your heel inside the boot. Do you have any footbeds in them yet? That may help by both raising the heel and realigning the foot.

Its also possible to strech the cuff, but unfortunatly its not easy to do on a FT, as they use the cables not propper buckles. You may be able to find somone who could strech them and move the 1st and second buckles for you.

So overall yes there are things that may work, or get a boot which actually fits you. Either way a boot fitter will be your best bet.

thanks for the above... i was thinking about getting some new boots, but they're both only 2 seasons old and work fine when its warm, they only start to hurt when the plastics really cold and stiff. i'll definitely try raising the heel

I had the same issue, especially with full tilt, and the Ace of spades fit wide calves much, much better.

this.

get some heel wedges and custom footbeds. u cant go wrong. but best bet is to take the boot to a fitter so they can expand it.

The real question is why the hell do you have two different boot the whole idea with the full tilts is you can change out the toungs for different conditions. On your original question get a foot ad that will slightly raise your heel. Either way good luck

I had the same problem when I was boot fitting, non of the full tilts even got to the first notch of the buckle. I've had success with nordica and SPK's.

Not to be a jerk, but womans boots mostly have a lower cuff on the back if your feet could fit a womans boot.
