 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Just returned from a week in Bulgaria, I had a brilliant first half of the week but then I seemed to develop a massive heel lift. I,ve worn the boots for c. 3 weeks. They are really comfortable and I've loved them, but that is changing!
I had seriously bad hire ski's that were so slow.
Do I give up on my beloved boots and buy some new ones or do I look for a fix?
I'm an intermediate skier, my boots are Rossignol Electra 90, I reckon I can lift my heels 1 - 2cm in the boot, and tightening them cuts off my blood supply.
To save mine (and my husband suffering me moaning about my boots!) can anyone recommend a good boot fitter in north, east or west Yorkshire that I can go to??
Cheers

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

+1 for Graham at Rivington Alpine, he fitted some boots for the OH and she is very happy with them. He makes a good cuppa too!!

Glide and Slide in Otley sorted me out a treat.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I took my old nordica boots in with a similar problem a while back and was pleased to be given some heel inserts that go between the shell and inner boot to address this problem - for free  .

I'm not an expert on boots so correct me if I'm wrong here, but those custom fit insoles's you can buy can solve these types of problems as they custom mould them to your feet and can add thickness where required, Ellis Brigham do the service, think it costs about £60 IIRC.
