I guess if I could find someone with a 30 in 325 I could try that would help but otherwise I'll be stuck buying something trying it and hoping it works. It really be nice to know the inner width of various boots though.

Wouldn't the extra width be better though? Is the 325 shell you mean the same as the old SB shells? If someone has a Head or UPZ in size 30 maybe you could measure the width for me and I can measure my Suzuka and then we'd all know.

AHHh there ya are! Thanks again! I've been out of the Forumns for a year or so. Stuck over here in Santa Fe. How's the mountain there this year? Hope all is well with your and your family.

The current ones I have are the 04/05 Suzuka size 30 with Thermoflex. The 2 previous boots were Raichles with Thermoflex also. No problem with either. They were the SB series. Prior to that I had tried the 29's but that was much to short. Recently I also had to go up in street size to 14 due to toe jam and side pressure. So that's why I keep thinking size is wrong because it seems my foot has flattened out and widened. BOL has a 30.5 Head in stock so maybe that extra .5 would be what's needed along with added width? All I need to do is sell the Suzukas. Would I need to buy Thermoflex liners for the heads or are their stock partial Thermo liners good?

Does the place in Toas sell the Head or UPZ snowboard boots?

By shell test do you mean the two finger thing? I first tried a pair of 29's but the fron of toes we getting crushed. With a 30 liner my toes already feel compressed so I'm hoping it's the fact my foot compresses so much from my flat footednes that my size 13 monsters are now nearly 14's and the width is to great for the Suzuka. I'll have to look at the Heads/UPZ are they Intec usable boots?

It doesn't seem like a cramp as the pain increases as the minutes go by and if I don't stop riding it gets to a critical point of basically failure where I can't stand or control because the pain is so severe.

I have orthodics from a foot docotr and the change from my old one to new one didn't change the pain. The pain I get is all over my foot not local to the arch but the top and sides of the foot and the ankle. It almost feels as though there being crushed. Som may think I may have the boots to tight but it doesn't seem to matter, tight or not when I board I end up in pain. That's why thought maybe it's a width issue with the Suzuka?

Hey all just wanted to send a HELOO toanyone out there in the Land of Enchantment. I'm a 12+ year HB rider but currently in medical/pain recovery due to extreme foot pain. Not to mention I'm selling my current HB setup. But anyway just wanted to throw a hello out there to all the craving crazies out there. Last year at Ski Santa Fe was a great year and I was there a few times. This year just my daughter will be up there, not using her board, but learning how to control 2 sticks instead. Hopefully the board will come next year. We have a HB setup ready to go for her already.

I went to a boot fitter in Bend Oregon in 2005 and I need to contact them. Does anyone know of one there. All I can remember was that it was a little shop in a nicer area of Bend and the guy sold boots, shoes, and did custom boot fitting. He also had an oven for ThermoFlex. (Doug) OOops:confused: I mean MIKE, you remember? I think you had suggested him way back then.

Back in October of 2005 I bought the Suzuka boots, size 30. Every time I use them I would experience crippling pain all over my foot. I had the boots fitted in Bend Oregon at a Foot Doctor / Boot Fitter. I have custom orthodics and I've had 2 previous Raichle/Deelux hard boot models. These are the only ones that did this. I tired various boot buckle adjustments and stance changes to try to pinpoint a source. My best guess is that the boots are too narrow and or short for my feet. I have a Mondo size of about 30.4. My street shoe size is now a 13.5/14. My feet are 4.5 inches wide. So I'm not sure if the newer boots are just to narrow for my feet or if I've got some other foot problem? I've been to 2 foot doctors and a orthopedic doctor. None could find a problem. So my questions are; 1. Would a 31 boot give me any added width? 2. Has anyone else heard of or had this problem? The pain is so bad I cannot continue and the last few times I had to stop every 20ft or so and rest. The pain doesn't stop until about 10mins after the boots come off. But theres no pain just wearing the boots only boarding in them.

Hey all! I'm a transplate to NM, via OR, via WY, via MA, via OR, via NM, via CT. Yes I've bounced around a lot. Anyway I live here in Santa Fe and need to get my liners re-molded and try to work out some foot pain issues that may be related to binding setup and or boot fit/setup. Are there any good snowboard boot fitting gurus in this state? I've been to Ski Santa Fe twice this season and each time I've had intense foot pain by the end of my first run. This also happened last season but to a great deal less. Thanks all for any help!

Ok am I that dumb or just missed something? Both BTS parts looked the same to me. Is there a right and left part for each boot? Now I'm going to have to duoble check when I get home!

We've got our reservations, the 3 of us will be there Mike. Hopefully the Bach will be kinder to us this time.

What happened to Bush Wave? Did the Bush get Killed? The Bush was better the the Kill by a long ways. Okemo is nice too but also a busy place. Thus why I like Bolton still.
