I just received a pair of Beartooth 200g boots and they seem to fit my feet very well but when I crouch down or flex my foot upward as if climbing a steep hill, the laces dig into the top of my foot/ankle where it bends and the tendon that connects your shin to your foot flexes. I've tried lacing them very tight and very loose and they're all uncomfortable in the same spot. I've only worn them inside the house.
I contacted Schnee's and their customer service has been exceptional. The gentleman i've been speaking with stated that it could be caused by the specific 'breaking point' of this particular pair of boots and that each pair of boots can break differently. He said he would start by trying a different pair of Beartooths so he sent me a return label and will be getting me another pair.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem of the laces digging in right there and what you did to remedy it.
Just for reference, my previous boots were the Lowa Tibet Hi and I didn't have this problem. The Lowas are a slightly stiffer boot
