 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello,
For the last two years I have suffered when I wear my ski boots a terrible burning pain in the ball of my left foot. I think it is metatarsal or Morton neuroma. I manage it just about, by having loose boots round the feet bit, or not tight, and basically every coffee stop I would take my boot off.
I wondered if putting an insole in the liner or underneath the liner would help make it a bit more spongy to my foot. Has anyone done this or know about it. I have my own boots and at the time they were mounded to my feet. I only go skiing once a year and just potter around the slopes.
If anyone has any advice or experience I would be grateful.
In normal shoes I wear fitflops which are wide and very spongy soles.

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

I'd contact CEM (Solutions4Feet) if you can get to Bicester. I have heard that ProFeet in London are also good - but I have no experience of them.

@Hils68, the boot may have been moulded to your feet, but what about the footbed, do you have a custom made footbed in there?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ahhhhh! I don't know Hells Bells. I remember going and standing on something that seemed to measure my foot, and then it was heated, and that's as much as I can remember. It was about 9 years ago, but the boots have only been worn say 6 times since for a week. I always assumed it was the Lining boot that the mounded. But 9 years ago I didn't have ball of foot pain when skiing!
Can you get footbed for metatarsal pain then?

I had that problem, and also in walking boots and sometimes normal shoes, despite living in trainers. A foot specialist made me some footbeds with a Mortons Lump on them, which kind of spreads the bones where the nerves get trapped, so they don't get trapped. It made a massive difference in ski boots and normal shoes, and some difference in the walking boots.
The guy I went to is called Graham Mann who works in Dorking, for Advanced Footcare Group. He is a skier and has worked with some top skiers, but he's not cheap.

Get a custom footbed. Solved most my issues.

if you can put an extra insole in the boot is most likely too big for your foot, you can get a custom footbed made which ahd a softer section under the ball of the foot, BUT the first thing is to find out why there is a pain there..... is it......
lack of support
lack of ankle joint flexibility
big calf muscle
high arch
low arch
etc etc, the list can go on from there, but it is a bit like a headache... you take the paracetamol but why... was the head ache caused by dehydration? or was it a cold, or was it a brain tumor???? you have to treat the cause not just the symptom if you don't want the problem to reoccur
