Hi guys,
I'm wondering if anyone can help?
I start foundation on monday the 19th and I'm having problems with my boots. I've just about broken them in now, but the more I wear them the more my toes seem to be cramped up at the end of the boot even when I'm standing still.
Is this going to create problems for me when I start training, or is this a natural part of the breaking in process? If it's going to cause problems how to I go about getting a new pair? Also is there a general rule with boots i.e they should be at least 1/2 a size bigger?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys

Andy, let them know as soon as you get there, they'll change them for a pair that fit, otherwise you will be crippled.

As the Prez has said. Nay wukking furries. Also you might have grown out of them! Gen Buzz.
My AP boots on joining fitted fine I was 17 and a half years old, but I outgrew them halfway through training. Ditto my DSM boots and shoes. They will sort them out for you mate.

You're really training with Masaaki Hatsumi? Has he told you the story about how he was given his scrolls? When his master had tried striking him down with the sword? I've only ever read about him, but he's an amazing bloke.
