 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello,
I got my boots fitted at Ellis Brigham with custom footbeds last year. They felt fine in the store and feel comfy when I first put them in. But I find that pressure builds up in my feet after about 30 mins of skiing.
Is there a better boot fitter in Scotland (I’m in the Falkirk area) I could go to for adjustment? Or could it just be that I need to wear them more to get my feet used to them?
Thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Why not go back to EB in the first instance as they will adjust for free? Note that the lead fitter at Braehead has left.

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

pressure building up over time (depending where the pressure is) have the fitter check your ankle joint range of motion, i know i keep going on about this but it is the single most important thing after boot size and shape and the footbed
closest good person/place is probably Karla at Craigdon in perth
if you can get hold of Shona Anderson, she would also be good but not as local

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Craigdon in Edinburgh are doing good things recently. Like the one in Perth it's an employee owned store.
Though based on information available I would tempted to take out the custom foot beds and try something with different shape and less rigid (superfeet / insoles from running shoes?). Is the pressure building on balls of the feet? A cheap experiment that could easily be conducted on local dry slope. Assuming size correct then next biggest variable is the insole.
My personal feeling is a lot of shops are getting custom footbeds badly wrong.

@Ski lots, I thought Braehead had closed down?

Thanks for the reply.
I did go back to EB once already and not a huge difference, hence I wanted to try someone specific that comes recommended. Shona sounds like a good shout- thank you!
