I just got a pair of CWB Vibes and the left foot feels great, but the right foot is really tight. What is the best way to break these in? It feels like the top needs to be loosened up.

Wash them in warm water and bend the overlays a lot. That should help.

| Fill your bathtub with very hot water. Put on your bindings and just sit in there for 15-20 mins. I did this with my Tranists cause the top of my right foot also really hurt and after doing that it wasnt as bad. In the moring or about an hour or so before I go riding I get them wet and put a large bouncy ball in the spot where they hurt on my right binding and when I ride I usually have to stop because Im just beat or tired, not because my foot was hurting like before. |

| Just dont use them in the Hot tub or anything, lots of chemicals. Use shampoo and soap to a minimum if your showing or anything with them. |

Thanks guys. I put them on my feet in a tub of hot h20 and then put a bat on the inside. I think they're stretching out a little just fine.

Thanks for the ideas, especially SI7. I've got tennis balls stuffed in where the balls of my feet would normally be, trying to break in my new Ultra's. I'll find out in 5 hours...  |
