Boots

Hi

I have bought a pair of boots and have worn them twice to ski at Xscape. They don't hurt me but my insteps are sore for about an hour or so. I think I've got fallen arches in my feet, but has anyone else experienced this?

That sounds like the problem and, if so, it can probably be easily cured. Take the boots back to where you bought them (or to your nearest decent ski shop) and explain the problem to their boot-fitter.

It's quite possible you'll be sorted out just with an insole with a raised in-step. Failing that you may need a "custom footbed" moulded specifically to you. But these are very "normal" adjustments nowadays and, when done properly, will make a world of difference to your comfort and your skiing.

But do it now rather than letting it waste snow time on your holiday.. 8)

Thanks very much! Should have got that done when I was a Xscape yesterday. Duh! :-)
