Lube substitute for boots??
 
I know some people used to use shaving cream back in the day or Enviromentally safe shampoo. I remember when I was down at OWC I swore they said they made the stuff themselves. Anything else work well and wash out? My buddy needs it to get in his boots as they are a bit tight for him to get on.

new boots with neoprene in them.

Shaving cream is the best thing on the planet for boots!

I'm rocking the CWB boots with the hinge. no lube needed when you're working with a big hole.

J-Rod - Wow!

Dave - Try some binding lube from an online or local shop. It isn't as common anymore but you can still get it. It is safe for the environment and works better than shaving cream.

I dont know if the shops still carry it because of the construction of new bindings but back in the day I used newt juice http://www.newtjuice.com/

Hands up if you took this the right way.
New boots is the way to go. If for no other reason than the ease of entry. But performance, sizing, and comfort are off the charts.

a spray bottle with a mix of water and herbal essence shampoo.

We used KY jelly back in the day works way better than boot gooo :D We roll Ronix bindings now. No gooo necessary

the hyperlite system boot/bindings is my reccomendation for substituting.
