Boots dont last forever so how do you know when to replace them well here are our 4 warning signs

1.It takes you longer to lace up your boots than it does to get to the mountain - If your not into lacing go with Boa Technology cable lacing system its a lot more secure for boots and if the boots are too big or the liner are worn out tightening them will just make more pressure

2.Dutch wooden clogs are more comfortable than boot liners - If the foam in your liners is like dried play dough you have a major problem the foam should be soft and puffy like a pillow, Press on it with your thumb and it should come back up again

3. You get swamp foot five minutes into your day - Liners are made with wicking materials so you dont get soaked until at least half of the day is gone now obviously that is based on the heat of the day and your sweat

4. Toeside turns are like ballet dancing - Heel lift is probably one of the worst things you can have in your boots not only does it make your overall riding control worse but it will cause blisters and even ankle injuries.
