how long to break in bindings?

My binding kills my front foot (the back is okay)- After about 10min my foot gets all cramped. I've ridden in the bindings about 20 times already and I've kept a can of shaving cream in there for about a week. Should I still try and break the binding in or just give up and get something new??

Your bindings are probably just too small. Which bindings do you have?

You can always stuff them with softballs or other various objects to stretch them out a bit.

What kind of bindings are they? Have you tried resizing/refitting the overlays on them? Did you get the right size? Also, some bindings will form to your foot if you put them on in warm/hot water, let them sit for a minute, and then rinse them with cold water, which will loosen and form them to your foot.
