Boot Fitting 101: Bontex Boards Or How To Suck Up A Little Volume

[@christians6164]

Super helpful thanks! I was trying to figure out what these things were - they came with my boot. It also so happens my right foot/leg is smaller than my left, so I'll give it a try.

Great Video

Can also use scissors to cut a spacer from a cheap silicone cutting board sheet. No need to wrap it

ok so where do I buy this bontex board -- I cannot find it for boots

The product description says: Simply insert the shim between the boot shell and liner (not inside the liner) and the extra volume will disappear. Available in two thicknesses. Will both ways get the same result?

Hello Angry! Are there any (freeride) boots you would recommend for people like me with low volume feet? Or should I just buy the one that fits best overall and add bontex boards?

If you're putting Bontex boards in then the boots don't fit.

I've got the same issue. My right foot is a full 1/2 size smaller. Any other tricks to suck up a little space in a snowboard boot?

Cut off your toes to equal out the length.

Like you, I also have a big difference in my feet size. One big toe is always bent at the end, and the other foot I have to tighten way too much to get snug, which causes cramps (and still get a little heel lift). After watching all of your boot fitting videos, I was planning on getting a bontex footbed and j bars for the smaller foot and a heel shim for the bigger foot to try to pull it back a little. Do you think this is a good way to go about it?

Do you have an aftermarket insole?

@@AngrySnowboarder yes I had the christy sports brand one, just ordered the remind medic though

You've literally done everything in the right progression. You're on the right track.
