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 :-)

Eldest (just turned 13) bought new boots this year

but he has taken a right stretch and are pretty neat now. He's going away with the school in Jan and was wondering if I could get the toe area heated and stretched a little. I had this done to a pair of boots that were crippling me a few years back but that was to make the toe section a little broader. Think in my son's instance we would need to make them a tiny bit longer. He's only had a week's use out of them and seems a pity to take a hit by selling them on ebay.
Advice as usual very welcome

, it depends on the tools the shop has and how much space you need to gain.... do a shell check and see how much space there is between his heel and the back of the boot if it is 10-20 mm then there should be space, much less and it may be a struggle
an off the shelf footbed may help to gain a few mm if it is caused by his foot elongating
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

, comes to the rescue once again. Many thanks. Will do a shell check to see how much space there is.
