Poster: A snowHead

Does anyone experience the sensation of your boots getting progressively more uncomfortable as a week passes. Not neccessarily wet as my boots are good like that, but moreso they start to feel smaller and and ill-fitting after a few days.
Are my feet expanding?
Comments anyone?

Definately not.In fact mine get looser as the week goes by.
In the morning i generally just loosely do up ,walk to the lifts & then retighten & re adjust,as by then my feet have warmed up & bedded in.
I use Airwalk Buttes,which are about 6 years old,very comfy,though are starting to show signs of ageing.But have Velcro power straps that i tighten throughout the day aswell.
What boots are you using?

..............bug ger, just lost my reply.........now what did i say?
Oh yeah, what boots are you using? Possibly not sized correctly, remember to try lots of boots on when buying........don't do as i did and buy over the net unless already tried on exactly the same pair in a shop.
I firstly bought some gear over the net while i was working out in the USA a few years ago, the bindings + board were great but the boots were awful (cheap package). I used it though, as they were ok for learning on small hills - only 6-800m vertical, every weekend. But hell did I noticed the difference when out for a weeks holiday in the Alps - cutting off blood supply to toes and ankles every time i strapped in.
Anyway got rid of the boots etc and purchased a decent pair earlier this year - Saloman Dialogues - quite stiff with a laced, removable, heat mouldable inner liner. The boots have a great lacing system which locks as you pull it tighter round the ankle and at the top. They are great and can wear them all day all week with no problems. Really comfy. I've also noticed that i have gone down a couple of sizes as well.
Sounds like an excuse/reason to purchase some new gear!
I also noticed a huge difference in comfort levels as i changed to flows from straps at the same time.
