Burton Ion Killing my Feet - Page 2 - Snowboarding Forum

I have a pair of Ions and mine hurt very bad while riding last season. I swapped out my bindings and boom, my feet were fine, well better than fine really. I never have pain at all now. I was using Burton P1's when I would get the pain and I went to Romes and the pain is gone.

I bought a pair of size 11 Ions last year and my feet where killing me. I usually wear 10 1/2 to 11 work boots. I found that taking out the removable foot bed in the liner helped a ton and they fit perfect now....no PAIN

Old post but I had a similar issue with my IONS causing pain on the top of my foot. Turns out the loops for the inner boot laces were digging in to my foot. There are metal "loops" that the string passes through. I ended up cutting them out & allowing the lace to go through the nylon loop (that the metal loop was mounted on) & this fixed my problem. The metal loop created a pressure point on the top of my foot that hurt like hell. Hacked 'em out & all is good. YMMV...
