I got that feeling in that toe the first 3-6times i were riding! Guess its a unussual muscle you are using there, probably one for balance, idk Smile

It's gone now atleast!

Even tho i have been riding snowboard for 6-7 years, so.. yeah Smile

I used to have the same problem with my new bindings and I could never get out enough to really break them in as much as I wanted to so I just put something into the front of the binding a couple of days before I go out to help loosen it up a little bit.

I had problems at first getting my pinkie toe to fit properly in the binding as well. It might help to lube up the toe part of the binding and make sure the toe is comfortably in the binding.

Thankfully mine stretched out and now i dont have that pain.

Slightly different, but still on point, I've spent about 4x 40mins. in Hyperlite State bindings and by the end of each set the outside of both feet ache. I have flat feet, and that may contribute, but I'm wondering whether I'm "ducked" out enough, or too much, or if it'll just go away.

Anyone have anything similar, or any advice?

i was thinking the same thing.. i have feet so flat it sounds like suction cups when i am on a tile floor.... this causes my pinky toe to be pushed out further then usual.. maybe more duck would help people like us Question
