I hope someone can help me out, just want to clarify something on heel lift in snowboard boots...
Say you put on your boots and tie them up, then stand up with knees slightly bent (to conform to the boot slant) Is it heel lift when:
a: when you stand on your tippy toes (yes i like saying tippy toes) / kinda of straighten your legs and your heels rise
b: you lean forward/bend knees more as though you're strapped in, and lean onto your toe side (knees bending further as you go onto the toe)
Both?
Don't know if that made sense, what i'm trying to say is that when i do A my heels lift and when i do B they don't.
Just trying on my boots for the first time in a year and i forgot everything. I'm getting the option A heel lift with the box bought liners. I have some insoles that i wore last year but when i put them on my toes seemed to push up the front a lot more. I mean, who straightens their legs when on the board anyways? So basically i'm debating whether or not to use the insoles since they push my toes up and i don't like it when they hurt. I'll take both down anyways to be sure, to be sure...
Thanks y'all!
