I am considering flow bindings to help resolve foot pain. I have high arch feet and after about 2 hrs of riding, the pain sets in and is extremely uncomfortable. I currently am using a fairly old setup, traditional strap bindings (about 15 years old). They finally broke on me so am looking to upgrade. What would you recommend to help with high arch and relive foot stress?

re: "What would you recommend to help with high arch and relive foot stress?" Custom foot beds.

This isn't an unusual problem. I myself have encountered this during demo days. (I demo snowboard/ski equipment for local shops.) The tip above about moldable boots is good advice and may work for you. However, it doesn't help in my case because the moldable liner isn't as soft as some other boots and I want my boots tight when I'm hitting the slopes. Not to throw out brands, but the Flow bindings help tremendously as well. Because the strap is one large strap (instead of two smaller straps) the pressure on the top of the foot is distributed more equally and allows for a more comfortable fit. This also allows you to lace your boots a bit looser.

try 32 boots with the heat molding design i had the same problem after a few hours my arches hurt real bad i bought a pair of 32's and fixed my problem. if it still hurts after that try turning your bindings in or out a few notches. hope that helps ya. i ride m9's and 32 boa's my feet dont cramp at all unless i have to ride an edge for a long time

i recommend new boots, not bindings....
