Nose butters make my heels slip

ReturnToMonkeyDo 2-300 calf raises a day. Next week you won't have this problem

NutsToRailI have big ass calves if size is the goal here I'm unsure if it will help. Or are you thinking it's a strength thing?

NutsToRailI'm in full tilts, with the 120 tongue. When I really crank down on the middle buckle I can get on my noses without the heel slip but it is tighter than I would normally like to ski. I'm around 215 lbs so I wonder if the progressive flex isn't enough to put pressure back into my shin to keep my heel planted
I try to put my weight into my toes and engage my hammies to lift the tails; am I nose pressing incorrectly or should I add some j bars?

Schoess4 buckle boots work better for my foot to prevent heel lift, especially trying to press into skis that arnt noodles. I would recommend trying a 120-130 flex boot that's a 4 buckle design and you may find more success. My touring boots are a 3 piece design and it's not my favorite for that very reason.

freestyler540Sounds more like the boots are too big.

how old are the boots? If the boot is over 3 years old, the liner could be very packed down, leading to heel slip. New liners can save the boot.
Its not a surprise that ski shop employees dont look for it when you try them out. Make sure to test the heel before selecting the boot for fitting.

And yes, 4 buckle boot is superior to 3 buckle boots for freeride.

ReturnToMonkeyA week won't make them bigger. It'll make you better at the calf raise part of the nose butter, probably fixing your issue

skierman1. Your boots are shit


2. Your boots are too big


3. You're too big, you disgusting fat fuck so lose some weight.

NutsToRail1. Maybe, but you really don't know shit about them
2. I sized down and have stretched/punched them
3. Printing this out and putting it on the wall in my basement gym - fuck you, eat shit, die :)

NutsToRailGot the boots a month ago, and have been stretching/punching the shell to fit my feet - I don't think they are too small as we have had to add a lot of volume due to my weird feet

hahahahahahahahaha

freestyler540Sometimes, its just the wrong boot for your foot. Salomon shift pro 130 gave me a heel lift on trying it on before fitting. After trying 8 pairs, only salomon did that.

Sadly, there isnt much that can be done with a loose heel that I can think of. Best I can recommend is tighten them down hard and wear thicker socks.
Or ya might have to sell them and keep this in mind for the next pair.

NutsToRailBro talks shit on forum posts so he can feel better about being a lonely disliked loser

NutsToRailThis helped me realize I've been trying to nose press incorrectly. I've been shifting my weight into my toes and pulling up with my hamstrings, it sounds like adding a calf raise into that mix will help? Is there anything else you focus on doing to press?

HypeBeastWeak attempt man

NutsToRailGuess I'm not well versed in being a cunt
