Snowboard bindings, help me find a comfy stance??

Hi, i was new to snowboarding last year, picked it up in a day or so and ended up doing 2 weeks back to back. I played around with my bindings to find a comfy position but no matter how i positioned them my leading foot/ankle was always aching, it felt like it was cramping up?? i just got on with it really but for this year i want to get it all sorted, does any1 have any suggestions???
