new bindings!!

I recently purchase Large (9-11) liquid force alpha bindings. I am a size 9 shoe and the bindings are rather tight and uncomfortable. I haven't wakeboarded with them yet but i can tell they are going to be really uncomfortable. Is there a way to loosen them up or will they perhaps get broken in and feel better?? thanks

You're a size 9 shoe......
And size 9-11 bindings are tight???

And yes, there have been several threads recently on breaking in bindings. Do a search for "beer bottles break in bindings"

How do you know if they are to tight if you haven't even tried them out yet? If you are trying to put them on while d*cking around at home you are probably going to need to get some shaving cream to help slide your feet in. These things are suppost to be tight. If any color loss is apperant in your toes though I advise you getting them swaped becasue that would be to tight.

they will break in with use but if you want to speed up the process, filla bathtub with warm water and put hair conditioner in the water. Put your bindings on your feet and then put your feet in the water. Grab a gameboy or a magazine and sit there for about 15-20min. That should help.
