Poster: A snowHead
|
Thanks to CEM at http://www.solutions4feet.com/ for sorting out the tweaking of my boots.
Brief history, boots fitted 2 seasons ago by precision in Val D'Isere, pretty good all round apart from dead toes!!!
After a few hours at Solutions 4 feet and lots of minor tweaking I can now ski all day without dead toes, which makes the whole experience much better!
Mine was a particularly tough problem as there was nothing obvious, no red or marked areas on the foot, so CEM deduced it was a slow pressure issue.
Some slight blowing out of boot and liner combined with a few other tricks seems to have worked for me!
So if you want an honest, no BS, no flashy gadgets solution to boot problems, I'd recommend a visit!

Another satisfied customer!
I saw Colin today and he was fantastic. No rushing and sent hours with me doing analysis then taking me to the shop, trying different boots and waiting ages for me to stay in them in the shop to make sure the chosen pair were the correct fit. Of the boots that Colin thought might be suitable it turned out to be the cheapest paid (£129 plus £40 for the footbeds) which were best for me. I can’t imagine there is another company out there that will invest so much time with a customer to make sure the boots are right.
He is a mine of information about ski resorts and very sociable. I would recommend him thoroughly. The test will come when I go skiing in them but intend to put in plenty of hours wearing them around the house to bed them in before we head off next week. May make my planned evening runs to get some fitness before I go rather tricky though.
Ladies send all your menfolk to see Colin. His suggestion for wearing them in was that you need to be standing in them so suggested one of the best methods was to spend each evening ironing!
He also does specialist footbeds for running shoes too and stocks quality running shoes so if you are a runner I would suggest a visit. I drove from Ealing and its a very quick run - well worth the trip.
Thanks Colin
PS - I have no connection with the business and like Greg am just another satisfied punter.
