I ride the 2012 Nike Vapen Black/Reds and ever since I got them my heel lifts almost all of the time. Im always less confident in my toeside maneuvers because of it and its tiresome. I even tighten my boot up to the point my feet get numb so that can't be good. Any advice to help?

If you have narrow heels like I do give salomon boots a shot.

If you don't want to swap boots you can try things like J-bars.

See this post for ideas/merchants: http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boo...et-j-bars.html

This is not a suggestion, just a question: would it help a heel-lift situation to have something like an insole placed on top of your foot? Might press it down more?

Don't know, because I don't know if its my bare heel lifting inside the liner or the liner lifting with the heel. (If that makes any sense) But its worth a try? What do you think I could use?

Maybe I can try cutting some high-density foam into an L/J shape and try that. Going to Stevens Pass tomorrow so Ill have to do a temporary MacGyver thing.
Thanks!

Do this ^ I had this prob, made some J bars outta foam. Got them feeling right with double sided tape, then when I was sure the shape i'd made worked I used hurricane tape to tape it all flat. There is a thread by wrathfuldeity that explains the process. Helpful stuff

Sucks shops aren't down to fit boots properly anymore... so it seems

Definitely should sticky this.
