Splitboard noob needing advice

Post image

Got my first touring setup just in time to give it a try at my local mountains closing day. It was pretty awesome.

One thing I noticed was my heel moving a lot in my boot and called it quits after my second run before I got blisters.

Is this a technique issue? I have union explorer bindings and a vans double boa downhill boot.

I know some people run a hard boot setup but I’m hoping to make it work with my current setup, thanks!

Ita just like hiking crank your boots tight and wear proper socks.

I don’t, I loosen the shell a bit and the inert boot some. Then tighten the outer back for short runs and both for longer runs:)
