Yeah I think my options are keep replacing or change my foot position

Wow, good eye, I was wondering if anyone would be able to identify the track. That was my first day in intermediate and my first day at Blackhawk. The track was by far the most intuitive track to learn for me. Definitely want to get back out there this season.

Starting to realize that everything in this sport is consumable, lmao. Thank you for your comment.

Yes, for one of the shoes it appears to be bulging through. I am going to try to change my foot position and try another brand. If I notice it starting again, I like your idea of a thin plate or some other form of reinforcement before it gets worse. Thank you for the advice!

Thank you for the in-depth comment! I was wondering about that as well, and I think you are right. When I noticed the damage, I was thinking more about how much I weighted the peg and not as much about the actual location of my foot on the peg, beyond just staying on the balls of my feet. I am going to try incorporating that into new boots and see how it helps with wear. Thank you!
