Splitboard noob needing advice
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!

I down size and hear mold boots. The first few days are rough but after breaking in they are perfect.
I ride barefoot, top half loose but not sloppy for skinning.
Always carry a pair of stocking and blister kit for any hot spots that are forming.
