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 :-)

Tingly Toes
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I've had some Salomon Falcon CS boots for a few years now and having just come back from a weeks skiing I've decided I really need to try and do something about their fit and the problems they are causing me.

The left boot fits fine, but the right boot leaves my toes tingling and becomes increasingly uncomfortable throughout the day. I can replicate the tingly feeling by putting pressure with my finger on the inner part of my ankle, between the ankle bone and the heel - it seems like there must be a nerve close to the surface there? By applying pressure here, my toes go tingly just as they do in the boot.

Does anyone know if it might be possible to adjust the boots so that no pressure is applied here? (either by bending the plastic shell or doing something to the liner?) Or do I need to buy a new pair? (ideally not as these were quite expensive!)

The problem is stopping me from buckling the boots up tight on the right foot which clearly doesn't help my skiing!

The boots were originally purchased from Lockwoods, but now live in Bristol so am contemplating a visit to CEM (and hoping he can fix something) unless anyone has any other suggestions? Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

Thanks,

If you didn't have it earlier in the boots' life then it might be liner packing causing the new nerve situation.

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

Unfortunately it's always been there Sad

Only, the tingling/pain takes a few hours to really kick in. I bought the boots initially to do a season, and rarely skied all day/everyday so it wasn't so much of a problem. However, now that I do 1 week ski holidays I actually ski far more each day, and that's when I'm really noticing in.

I think bending the shell out might help, only I have no idea if it's possible as the spot seems to be quite close to the hinge.

It could be a bunch of things. Poor fitting boots or bad technique in putting on the boots squashing the dorsal nerves. It could be Morton's neuroma. It could be a bunch of other things.

Next step depends on how bad it is. Maybe a very good boot fitter can make it better. Maybe you need to see a podiatrist.
