 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
A question asked before I'm sure.
I had a boot fitting at S&R over three hours and three different boots, had custom foot beds made for the chosen boot Dalbello Pantera 100. I am wearing them round the house with medium thickness smart wool socks. I am noticing after 30-40 mins my feet get icy cold. When I remove the boots, my feet are white and I can feel the blood rushing back to my feet.
I have buckle 2 as loose as I can make it, I am concerned. Is this just part of the breaking in process?
How long shall I give it before going back to the shop. I never suffer from cold feet at any other time, ever!
Any help always appreciated.
I felt the shop offered a good service throughout the fitting.

DB100, no, not normal. Circulation is being cut off somewhere. Go back to the shop with them.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Wearing different socks to what you wore when having the boots fitted will make a big difference to the fit. Try thinner socks to start with, then speak to the shop

Wearing the same socks I had when I had them fitted. I bought them at the fitting. I have just worn them for 30 mins with an ultra thin pair of silk socks. Same problem

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Go back for a refit, there may be to much pressure some where on your feet.

DB100, I wonder if you can find out if the compression is in the leg or the feet, perhaps leave the top buckles almost undone and see if it still happens? It might help narrow down where the problem is?

DB100, Just to be sure - you have got them on the correct feet, right?

No, on my head! Blimey didn't realise they were meant for the feet

It is almost certainly dorsal aspect of the foot where the problem is, I have worn the boots with the leg buckles as loose as can be, same problem.
Also there is a definite pinch point on the left boot.
Back to the shop tomorrow
