Anyone experienced probs with (what I would call) ankle rivet in boot? Mine have been fine so far but a friend has had one break & has heard of another one breaking rather a long way from home!

Anyone else had probs & had any dealings with Garmont regarding this?

Apologies if this has been discussed previously.

A friend of mine has many of the same problems. Also the rivets in the nose break. He is a heavy guy, though (100 kg).

Ian had a lot of problems with his Megaarides, did you see the thread?

I wonder if the Endorphins are a beefier boot? You would expect these kind of parts to be common.

Ankle rivet broke on my Endorphins - looked like it fatigued. Garmont currently only supply the same rivet as a replacement so I have used a steel bolt and carry a spare in case the other one breaks. Apparently Garmont will have an improved replacement for next season.
