Hi againI ride regular foot, not goofy. My rear boot extends one inch over the heel and one inch over the toes. My front foot hangs a bit less because I cant that one about 15 degrees forward. I wear Burton Moto boots. These are the ones with the boa system. They have the thin pull cords, not the BOA twist knob. I was advised to pull the chords very tight. I was told by the salesman that these are a relatively soft boot. Originally, I had Burton Cartel bindings with the toe strap. But those were cramping my toes. Yesterday I bought some Ride “Beta” bindings. These have the strap going over the instep. This strap can be converted to a toe strap. You can use the front strap on either the toes or the instep. The salesman also suggested I buy the Burton “Elevator” plates. These are two spacer plates. One goes beneath each binding. The

The salesman also suggested I buy the Burton “Elevator” plates. These are two spacer plates. One goes beneath each binding. They elevate the rider about a half inch above the board. The salesman was saying that this elevation might give me the bit more leverage and response with the snowboard that I am seeking. Perhaps I need a board that has a narrower waist? Thanks for your opinions.
