 Poster: A snowHead

Besides the obvious - go see a bootfitter which will be happening in due course, what podiatric relief do people recommend for the temporary protection of a pressure point/ previous injury on a toe? I've got corn felts, gel padding, compeed blister plasters and even a gel toe sleeve to choose from. Needless to say I would like said toe to go in a ski boot.

fatbob, Depends what the previous injury was and where on the toe.

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

Plenty of space ordinarily - never given me a problem before, caused this year by packed out liner & maybe careless buckling (i.e. not tight enough) causing snall blood blister , current result is small callous/scab approx 5mm diameter on top/side of little toe that hurts like crazy when direct pressure applied to it.
New boots were in the offing but some other issues have made that a problem this year.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

as direct pressure is the problem, i would try a corn ring to surround the area

Cheers CEM - I've piloted that and seems to give a measure of relief. Just wondered if any of these miracle gel cushions lived up their boasts on the packaging.

fatbob, why not a combination therapy of a gel cushion with a corn ring around it

.......and, how come I get one blister, in the same place, everytime I have to walk a fair bit or spend a day doing jump turn excercises.
Just under that sticky out bit of bone at the ankle on the inside of my left achilles?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

blisters come from motion/heat/moisture you need all three ...ok so that particular but could be tight with the area around it being loose

fatbob, Go see a chiropodist and get them to take the callous away. Shouldn't cost much. Is there a darker nucleus in it?
