 Poster: A snowHead
|
Sorry but another boot question!
So I bought a shiny pair of boots to get back into ski or should that be get into skiing (having only had one real ski holiday 10 years ago). All I remember of that Holiday was pain in my legs!
So I have my new boats bought for all the wrong reasons - the price they were cheap. I am semi sure they are the right size shell seems to fit as it should. Toes are to the front of the liner. I have put some custom insoles in but these are only cheap ones and will need upgrading at some point but at the moment sort my pronation.
The problem seems to be a pain in my foot on the outer side around the middle of my foot. Not near the toes. I have reasonable sized muscular calfs not massive but definitely not on the slim side. I have had operations on my shins before to relieve shin splits so I do real compressed in my leg when wearing ski boots.
My question is - Do you think that the pain in my foot could be from compression around the leg or the liner being too tight?
I do plan on seeing a boot fitter but this will mean I good trek to find one.
Thanks

I think your plan to see a boot fitter is the best idea.. With comfy boots on the piste comes the joy of skiing, without the comfort all one wants to do is rip the boots off and never go skiing again..

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

Second that, big style! I reckon that I've spent near enough £2,000 on boots and custom liners and footbeds over the last several years. Just hoping that the last lot really will work - else, sod how annoying and painful it is, I really am taking up snowboarding instead

Yes, I do hope to see one but it might not happen for a while. Hence my question re could it be my awkward legs!
I must admit the pain isn't too bad but was more prominent a few weeks ago than Sunday when I tried them and I had done the boots up looser. The pain is also felt moe on the poem lift than when I'm out of the skis.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@stacetop, l understand you at least checked the width and the length of a boot before buying? I have perfectly normal feet, but still visit to a reputable bootfiter was one of the best decisions I made re skiing  the best decision being starting skiing.
Good luck in your quest, but yes, see a bootfitter, a good one!

@stacetop, I had that pain for 30 years of skiing until I found a good fitter.
