 Poster: A snowHead
|
Radical Freeride, my daughter has just got back from Flaine. She was thrilled with the Shin Shields. The first day she didn't push them far enough down, and she got really nasty shin burn on the lower shins, but absolutely nothing where the Shields had been. Next day she pushed them right down, and it didn't get worse (though she still has scars from that first day).
She took a photo of her legs, with her mobile phone, after the first day. Very red and rubbed and sore at the bottom, but smooth and unmarked where the shields had been. Would be a good ad for the product, though she has no idea how to get the picture of her phone!
Thanks.

skis4others, sorry, hadn't seen your post before. Probably poor punctuation on my part. I meant "worth trying to hire female specific boots, or buy them". I expect you can hire female specific boots, maybe more likely in bigger shops.
If you really want an expert opinion on what boots will suit you, go to see CEM. Comfortably boots make all the difference in the world to one's enthusiasm for skiing!

thanks Pam W. ive just got back from a weekend skiing. I tried asking for a female specific boot but no luck. I did go for a bigger size than i have in the past- i'm a size 6 so i went for a 40 boot. although the agony was still there i managed to get through the weekend by taking them off after evry run and massaging the cramp out of my foot and leg! not ideal i know. when i go next time, i will definitly try out this CEM. Is it a shop in the UK?

skis4others, CEM is a bootfitter in Bicester (unlikely as that sounds) and general foot expert who has an excellent reputation among his/her fellow snowheads. I've no idea how far Bicester is from Cardiff (not far enough is what springs to mind, but it's best left unsaid). S/he posted earlier on this thread and can presumably be contacted by pm or clicking on his sig.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Has any one mentioned Shaving ? l read somewhere that hairy legs, especially if shin was moving against the boot can cause soreness
