 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just back from Bansko, Bulgaria - trip report to follow...
Anyway
This is the second time it has happened to me - I tend to get open sores (have to use Compeed plasters) on the insides of my feet just below the ankle bone - I think my boots must be rubbing against me. I've had heel stabilisers fitted into my boots in Ellis Brigham and my boots don't feel overly slack or anything nor do I feel that I have any heel lift. The sores can be really sore and look quite bad.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
Thanks

Two possible things
1 the navicular bone is protruding and pressing on the shell
Or
2 there is excessive motion and the navicular bone is moving into the side of the shell
The solutions are simple depending on the problem, if all is stable and it is just a protruding bone then have the shell stretched over the area, or if it is caused by the foot moving int the area then stabilize the foot better to stop the movement....this would be the first thing to look at As youndo not want to create space if it is just going to make the problem worse

CEM, Hi there
Thanks for your reply. The area where the sore occurs is not at a bony part of the foot. its directly underneath the ankle bone (the side of the foot) - the sores occur on a fleshy part of the foot.

Had the same problem once, it was a mixture of a crease in the liner when I put the boot on and a seam in a sock. Doesn't take much as the skin is soft there.

Hi Frosty
That's weird because if I remember correctly, your boots are Nordica Speedmachine 8 - same as mine - is that right?

jb1970, What CEM is pointing out is that for there to be a sore there must be pressure or movement. There is a bone under that fleshy bit. If you didn't want an opinion from a respected foot expert I'm not sure why you posted unless it was just to seek sympathy.
Of course it could just be cancer...

jb1970, indeed they are, I am now careful that the liner and sock are not creased. My sore/rub was large and very painful.

I did not post to seek sympathy and bow to CEM superior knowledge. I didn't know there was a bone underneath that fleshy bit. I was just making sure CEM knew the part of the foot I was meaning.
FFS, you can't say anything on here without it blowing up into a big deal.

jb1970, you do have a teensy bit of a track record of starting threads moaning about your job/bike/car etc etc and now foot. Often not hanging around for the answer. If you didn't think there was a bone under your skin below your medial malleolus, how did you think weight was transmitted to the ground? Bless

If the sore is as a result of friction, similar to a blister, you could try taping the area with sports (zinc oxide) tape. Apply it ten minutes or so before putting your socks on so your body heat helps the adhesive to stick properly. Works best as a preventative measure though.

stoatsbrother, Do your heels touch the ground when mincing correctly?

in that case i would think it is movement, if there is no protruding bones at the point of the problem it has to be rubbing susspect that
1 your footbed isn't working properly
or
2 the boot is too big

Thanks. I am hazarding a guess that it could be the footbed as the boots don't feel too big (I was sized by Ellis Brigham when I bought them) - could they have bedded down too much?
I'll go into Ellis Brigham at the weekend and see what they say.

boot too big is not just a length thing, it could be the correct length for the foot but too much volume around the foot

I went to Ellis Brigham last night and they have put a heel lift onto the back of my footbeds.
