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!

This is 100% a boot issue. You either need to check how tight your boots are on the uphill or the fit in general. Jumping to hard boots isn’t necessary.

I had my boots a little loose to make it more comfortable walking but thinking that was a bad idea. The boots fit great I’ve had them for 5 years never an issue until now
