dshack Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I had read awhile back that some were of the opinion that a bootfitter could do more in terms of shell stretching or punching on a Head boot than an Upz. What about Burtons? Has anyone stretched out the narrow toebox on them? Are they made of pretty resilient plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleb Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I've had my burton winds stretched a few times last year. It works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V*L*A*D Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 That reinforcing buckle guard section ahead of the littel toe makes it tedious...mine boomernaged, i'm afraid- the composition dictates boomerang rate, as well- PE,PU, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gleb Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Definitely not a stupid question. Some boots might have a toe box or heal that might not be wide enough, or maybe the boot is just a hair too small. Thats when they put this hydrolic thing into the boot and I think heat it up too and stretch the boot just enough to make a difference. Basically, its to relieve hot spots on your feet.
