Linds, think you have summed it up, first thing i would do is tighten the two upper cuff clips, if that fails then find a sock with a bit finer knit and a bit more padding, the thorlos tend to be a little abrasive, have a look at Teko or bridgedale both in fine grade merino wool

also, easiski told us about foam stuff they sell in French pharmacies, which is very good too - but I don't know whether they sell it in UK pharmacies, haven't tried.

pam w, epitac is sold in a few pharmacies over here or some ski shops it can work but it depends on the cause, if it is rubbing it means there is space if that is removed then no rub, if it is a sharp pointy shin bone then a cushioning form either a sock or pad works well

I suffered like hell when I tried Thorlos once, got a horrible abrasion on my ankle where I flex. No problem with the usual stinky ultimax.

You know it makes sense.

pam w, I have access to lots of foam stuff and dressings where I work but that only hide's what the problem is and I wouldnt want to go away for a week's skiing just relying on dressings.
CEM, I will arrange to pop over next week and see what you have got in Pixie size socks

Linds, might also be worth getting some silicon skin pads, they're cheap but work

there are dressings that remove shear.... that is one of the things we use them for... Ditto for spreading direct pressure (although some understanding of the way the forces on skin change with various shapes is handy - see anyone with good wound training education)

I think that's the problem with my daughter. As soon as she used the pads, the problem disappeared. In fact, the first day, she didn't have the pad quite positioned right. After a day's skiing, the skin just below the pad was rubbed raw - there was a very noticeable straight junction between the white skin and the sore skin. (she took a photo). Next day she put the pad a bit lower and all was well. If you have that sort of shin I guess no amount of swipping and swapping socks really helps; she'd tried all sorts.
