What's the best way to speed up the break in process for a brand new set of bindings, their tight as hell right now.

What kind of bindings are they?

One trick is to get in them and soak em in hot water in the bathtub for a bit. And the best way to break them in is to ride. Razz

tOme,
Do like ONTrider said and soak them in the hot bath water with your feet in them. This makes them form fit to your feet. They will still fill a little tight, but the only way to get that out is to ride.

If its a binding the Ultras those are pretty much only going to be broken in by using them, but for most other bindings the hot water deal should help out.

Yeah... How bout them Transits ey? Rolling Eyes

balti, what do you mean? Be a little more specific... If you mean how should you break them in, you probably shouldn't have bought such expensive, non fitting boots... But otherwise, warm bath, feet in.... And ride

i had ultra that were really tight. so i took a short block of 2 by for and round the top of it. When i wasnt riding i would slide the block in there to keep it stretched out lil bit... After a couple weeks of riding and stretching they fit fine

I broke my era's in by hot water in the bath tub, I also used beer bottles and pushed them in on the toe area which helped out too
