Kirk, I’ve had this problem. I adjusted my stance,angled my front foot towards my nose more. Also got a pair of insoles,superfeet. Also quit cranking my straps down so damn tight. You really don’t need that if your boot is tied up and fitting well.

Kirk, it’s either your boots or your bindings. It could be your foots not fitting properly or being too tight. It could be your binding straps being too tight around your boots. Did you have the issue with your old boots? Can you pinpoint the location of the cramping better? It might mean trying the boots with different bindings to see if it’s the bindings or the boots.

Shay, Last year I got a pair of Forum Tramp snowboard boots. I use them with Burton Cartell bindings . My problem is that my feet cramp up reall bad . What do you think might be the cause of the cramping ?

Christina, sweet on loving your NS infinity! If you didn’t have the burn before shifting your bindings I’d adjust that back to what’s comfortable and look at your forward lean (that might be too much for your legs). Did you ride the bindings before or is that something new? It could be the highbacks are too high and stiff for your legs/boots. If you want a stiffer more responsive binding, ride dva’s are a solid choice. k2 agogo’s for more mountain playfulness.

Hey Shay,

Ok, so last season you helped me pick out my Never Summer Infinity, whic I totally LOVE, this is my second NeverSummer and just love it! Now, my issue: My right thigh burns like crazy. I get maybe 6 runs in and then total muscle failure. I have shifted the binding position, but I’m wondering if mabye it’s the bindings themselves. I currently have the Burton P2 (men’s binding). Maybe they are too stiff? Hmmmm…PLEASE… your thoughts because I respect you so much! If you think it could be the binding, what do you suggest as a new set? I was thinking about the Lexa but am nervous because it’s Burton again, or the K2 Agogo. I NEVER ride a park, only open freeride on open runs. Thanks!!!!

Lee, I’ve ridden the vxn’s in the past and owned them in the past. Solid progressive binding for women and a great price! I’d definitely go for them.

I pretty much agree with most of that! I’m a Ride girl myself, so I spent lots of time on the new Bandita’s last season. For whatever reason Ride’s what I’ve always been most comfortable with from some old SPI’s to Zeta’s and DVA’s. I think they’re going to put a higher end womens traditional strap binding back in their line for 2011/2012 so thats what I’m hoping for!
