ok so i got new boots this year(salomon 1080's) and new bindings(salomon 810s). So i got my skis back from getting them mounted today and so i put on my boots and got in. I began doing living room butters and my ankle starts to hurt when leaning backward. When i come back down from leaning back it kinda feels like my ankles coming apart from my tendon or leg...could it be the boots? like im not used to them or what...thanks

what to you get out on snow and see how you feel. Doing butters in your living room on the carpet might not be the best test. But yes you will need to work your boots in.

i have 1080s and the same thing happens to me sometimes after i ride real hard for several days. luck you...you're experiencing a form of shin bang, only reverse. it sucks!! it could just be the boots, but it's mainly from landing/skiing backseat. try tightening the boots at the top...if more support is needed, get some Booster straps...they helped me a bunch with the pain

If you are reading this, you've just wasted a few seconds of your life. Sorry.

^^^^^^^^^ i had that happen to me. but then you you break in the boot, it always reminds me to stay centered over the ski tho, cus u can get boot pain from skiing wrong. just give it a week or too. THE CARPET TEST DOESNT WORK THAT GREAT! haha.

cheers

Not wearing poles is alot like getting a blowjob from a guy...It feels good until you look down and realize you're gay.
