Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Exercises to help breaking in boots??
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Im sure this topic will have been covered millions of times, but i cant find anything via the search....


I've had some new boots since just after xmas, and have been trying to break them in as much as possible before i go away next sunday (28th Jan) but the heels of both feet are still going numb, just below the ankel bone after about 20mins of putting them on , and the outside of my left foot near to the ball, goes numb when i ski on my local slope, to the point that its really really painfull when i take the boot off and the blood flows back into the area, stopping me walking on it properly for about 30 - 40mins after.

the boots are head edge 9.8 and i have some green footbeds (i cant remeber the make)

i'm thinking of popping back to the shop before i go away and seeing if they can do anything,

but is there anything i can do at home (apart from clunking around the house trying to avoid scratching the wood floor) that will help speed up the break in process/ possibly strech the heels a fraction?

i thought about putting a hair drier in them to try and heat the liner a bit to see if that would help as i know they are heat fit liners?

any other suggestions? Puzzled Puzzled

thanks

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

I'd defintely pop back to the shop. The boots clearly need refitting.
