Any pipe and park rider could help? is the burton ruler an idea boot for freestyles?

Question

i had the burton hail for 2 days and the top(where it the strap on) of my foot is very dumb after an hour, an then my legs feel dumb too, that's after i exchange to hallf a size bigger. the burton ruler feel very nice to my foot, but just not sure is it the right boot to get if i am doing more pipe and park becoz it feel a little stiff, espically when i lean forward from landing? is it going to break in after a few days?

Answer 1

Boot flex is a very personally thing.  What works for me might not be the best feel for you.  some Park riders prefer a soft boot (lots of flex) where personally I prefer a stiff boot (less flex, more support).  The biggest issue is fit.  Don't get hung up on a brand or model until you have tried it (and many others) on to find the best fit.  Have fun in the park!

Answer 2

Good advice by the guy above fit is the most important thing. If your boots are comfortable and you get no heel lift, then they sound like they are a good fit for your feet. But its likely if they are a stiffer boot they wont break in that much as some people prefrere a stiff boot and they are made to be like that. You should try some other brands other than Burton, they may have a better boot for you needs and foot shape. Good luck with the riding.
