I have a pair of boots that are my shoe size (12) but they hurt like a mofo after only half a run. I have to loosen them up and ride like that the rest of the day. They are pretty old Vans "Fargo" boot. Should they be hurting at all? What brands are good for comfortable boots? thanks!

if they hurt at all, something's wrong.

Your boots may be the right size length wise but they might be the wrong size width wise and shape wise. When buying boots its best to try on a range of boots made by different brands and go with the ones that fit your feet the best. They should be tight but still comfortable, your toes should brush against the front of the boot, and when you lift your heel off the ground the heel of the boot should move with your foot rather than your foot pulling up through the boot. The most comfortable boots ive ever had are Northwave but they might not be right for you especially if you have a wide foot. Some other good makes for boots that are worth checking out are Vans, DC, Salomon and Thirty Two.
I would imagine your boots arnt a good fit for your feet and thats why you are getting alot of pain. But if you are a new rider it could be down to poor posture when riding i had this problem when i started. I used to lean backwards at times and id have more weight on the back foot than the front foot, and when turning id twist my body rather than shift my weight properly and my feet would suffer because of this. Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Get refitted correctly at a ski shop with a new pair of boots. Some brands fit and feel differently, so make sure your shoe size is right. Sometimes the position of your bindings can make your whole foot sore, so it depends on which part of your feet hurt - the sole, balls, ankle?
Anyway - my man rides Burton Freestyle boots and loves them.

I used to have a pair of boots that were too tight. My feet always cramped up. I finally got a bigger size and no problems. Try wearing a very thin sock and see if that makes a difference. Also don't crank your bindings too tight across your foot. That can cause problems too.
And if it is the first day of the season, your legs are going to hurt, unless you've kept yourself in super shape over the summer.

If you're new to snowboarding your legs and feet will hurt a lot.
If you're not new, i would recommend getting a different size that fits better.

no it doesnt harm the sack shrivels up and the testicles retract while a guy is aroused and that they stay out of how throughout intercourse. sure it hurts incredibly undesirable to get hit interior the balls, and that i will certainly say i might in all probability rip a females face off if she ever hit/kicked me there because of the fact it could do away with a mans ability to have toddlers with only one stable blow, sure interior the flicks and on television they fake its all exciting and video games yet you may no longer try this type of stuff in genuine existence, it might desire to reason severe injury.
