 Poster: A snowHead
|
Should be going to buy new boots this weekend, my problem is that my calfs are pretty huge(22') and i think the pressure on the top of the ski boot on them is what's causing my legs/feet to cramp up when skiing.
Any recommendations for good boots that will maybe be a bit more comfortable for me, my current boots are salomon performa's.

MattMattMatt, may be worth trying craigdon in perth, speak to Karla, most, if not all boots will require some modification to accomodate your calf

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

MattMattMatt, Heat, longer buckles, removal of spoiler devices, perhaps a liner change.

MattMattMatt, Buying from a bootfitter will mean the work is free, normally.

If I can give one word of advice, it is do not get your boots from S&R or Ellis Brigham or any other high street shop. I have made that mistake twice now

Not all, some charge £150 for the privilege like Profeet in London but they give you a boot matching price guarantee.
Some bootfitters will charge a bit more for the boot but nothing for the fitting I guess?
