 Poster: A snowHead
|
Alright everyone.
A couple of weeks ago i posted about having problems with my new custom fit ski boots, well the problem is getting progressively worse.
Yesterday after a session @ our local snow dome, i have now, a permanant indent on my right shin where the bugs have branded me for life!
All was going so well in the begining with my shiney new boots but now i loath putting them on.
The main problem is with the right boot. I think the custom foot-bed is too big for the liner of this particular boot.
Yesterday the boot fitter took a look @ my feet,liner & boot & shaved a bit off the bottom of the foot-bed.
I really don't want to stretch the boot if possible, that will be my last resort.
When i take the foot-bed out there is plenty of room in the toe box of the liner.
Next week i might put the foot-beds that came with the boot in & try that.
With the custom foot-bed in, it feels like my toes are squashed together but only in the right boot.
So to compensate i tweaked the settings on my boot clips & now have a big indent on my shin ffs.
Beginers mistake.
If there is anyone out there on snowheads who can help me then that would be sweet.
I have custom foot-beds in my snowboard boot, trainers & football boots & have never had this problem.
Is anyone interested in inventing a ski boot as comfortable as a snowboard boot?
Thanks very much snowheads.
kev (in pain).

difficult to say without seeing the boot BUT, how is the fit of the footbed in the liner..... if it is too long for the liner it will stretch the liner in length which will pull it in a little in height and width causing the compression
stretching aboot is not a bad thing so long as it is equired, but the first ting to check is that the footbed fits neatly inot the liner with causing the distortion

the liner is a custom fit pro for salamon mission 10 boots.

i have just felt the liner when the foot-bed is in place & if feels snug.

i'll post back with my findings.

If the foot bed is too long, it stretches the liner and reduces the hight of the toe box and can give this feeling. Take out the 2 footbeds and see if they're the right length, against each other.

that is equally possible, if they were moulded using windlass [ standing with toes raised up] then there is a chance the arch height has been over cooked a bit. all difficult to tell over tinternet
