Hurtle, ask for Hamish (if he's still there). He did my feet a few years ago and I thought he knew is stuff.

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

Hamish Wolfenden is the manager of Profeet. If you want him you better book him well in advance.

cathy, I don't think I need new boots, they don't feel loose (or hurt anywhere) I'm just slightly worried that they are too comfortable! I have been brainwashed by the professional foot fetishists on here, into thinking that my boots are probably too big. In any event, it's possible that a little more footbed support - Snow & Rock supplied footbeds, but I don't have total faith in their expertise - would improve what passes for my technique. That's my thinking, anyway, heaven knows whether it makes sense, my techie knowledge, like my technique, is sketchy.

Always a bad sign!

Hurtle, that's exactly what I thought - my boots were too comfortable and hadn't needed any modifying . But they were fine - but the footbeds they did were very good.

Hurtle, Time will tell, being comfortable is the overall goal, if you start to ski more quickly but don't feel confident at speed because of the feeling you have inside your boots, then a change of liner or boot maybe needed, until then, dont over think it.

CEM, Don't Technica make a red & white boot? |
I used to have Tecnica boots. They were orange and fitted me rally well.
Strangely enough, my new boots are green, and they fit me even better.
Is this normal?
Yours sincerely,
Confused of Cirencester. |
Do you know if Tecnica make a green boot then? Thanks for the advice. Green ones it is then. Better buy a new jacket to match as well.

You dont believe me that Tiree is the sunniest place in the uk ?

I am not the one dishing out poor quality abuse.
However please keep it up. Its making me laugh lots.
Do you want my phone number or email address ? And we can discuss this further ?

Haggis_Trap, not according to the Met Office. That webpage you quoted actually claims to be "one of" the suniest places in the UK. They might also not be the most impartial source of evidence
|

It obviously changes every year - and some years Tiree is the sunniest place in the UK.
Which is surprising, as its in the Hebridees's.
That same web page also shows that the Lake District is the wettest place

Haggis_Trap, I'm sure that's right. What year(s) was Tiree the sunniest?

Haggis_Trap, maybe it is your shining wit or enlightening knowledge which helps lay claim to such lofty aspirations?
