Boot Issues

There have been more messages about boot fitting issues in the past three weeks on this site.

Skiers must understand that most people need some form of, "adjustment" to any boots they buy.

All my boots are modified radically. I have one foot that is widder than the other. I have had several knee operations so my right leg geometry is off center. My right foot was burnt when young so another adaptation needed!

The time you take BEFORE skiing to adjust boots will result in pleasure skiing! Read some of the messages below, to appreciate that you must spend at least 1 hour in store just selecting boot models.
Another 30 minutes for orthotics!!! A MUST!!!
Another 30 minutes for fine tuning; buckles, canting, power straps.


Once you have "your"boots, you will be in heaven!

I recently bought new boots (end of Oct). i had the custom foot moulding but otherwise there were no other modifications, which is good. I had my first testing of them yesterday at Milton Keynes snowdome and they are great. They fit me perfectly, very comfortable and dont hurt in any place. i will try and get back there once more before i head to Filzmoos in Feb.

Testing them before you go skiing in the mountains is vital though, so you can iron out any problems beforehand, if there are any.
