Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

Just bought my first ski boots

Had them fitted by the guy at the shop but one question im not sure about is how tight do they need to be and how much heel lift is considered acceptable?

heel lift is a strange thing, when flexing forward then none is the answer i am looking for, if you try and force the heel up then even in a race fit you will move it, the general fit should be like a really firm handshake all round the foot

the most important thing is make sure the boot is the correct size, both in terms of length, width and volume, this means the shell must work with your foot shape...... you can test the length pretty easily by removing the liner and putting your foot in the empty shell... with your foot in the shell, toes JUST brushing the front of the shell how much space [in MM] is there behind your heel....5-10mm race fit 10-15 performance fit 15-20mm comfort fit, 20-25mm extreme comfort/biomechnanical issues, more than that too big....width is crucial also, best test is centre foot in shell and see how much space there is either side of widest point of foot

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