Bindings TOO Tight!

I have some fairly cheap high-wrap bindings. With some soap, I can get in fine.. but after my ride getting my feet out presents a problem. I have the overlays as loose as possible. Any ideas on loosening the boots? Any help is always appreciated

Draw a hot bath, drink a couple bottled barly sodas (if you're of age), shove the empty bottles in the front of them, put em' in the tub, and leave them be for a while.

You'll also probably need to set something on them so they'll sink.

Good luck,
Steve

Well if they fit comfortably when riding in them then they are fine, otherwise do what Steve recomends, except I would use your feet in the hot water then let them cool on your feet. There are a couple of ways to get out of bindings. One is to stand straight up in the water and jump out of them. The other is to grab the toeside edge and pull towards you to remove the bindings.

Try crashing harder and you will come out!

My problem is when I fall out of my CWB Grip bindings, I have to get back in the boat, put some lube in em and then put em back on. That's ridiculous. I shouldn't have to get out of the water to get my foot back in my bindings. Anyone have any suggestions?
