knock-knees

:D I have one knee that is quite turned in ie. knocked knee. I beleive this makes it more difficult to ski using my edges correctly etc. (Excuses perhaps!) Can anyone suggest how I might get an insole that will help adjust my foot, in my ski boot, so my knee is more 'rolled out' (correctly aligned)? I'm off skiing in a few weeks and would like to get is sorted soon. Can anyone out there help.

LBean,

Know exactly what you are going through since I have had several knee operations and hip surgeries.
You case ( and mine) is not minor boot surgery. You need more than orthotic work.

May I suggest the following;

1. In depth diagnostic analysis of your legs.
This involves noting your leg geometry in relation to ski boots and skis with centering device using Witherel"s approach. See The Atheletic Skier book.

2. Serious boot modifications
Cuff adjustments ( two side locking mechanisms)
Orthotics ( get skiing model)
Canting of shell or bindings ( see technicians who knows work done by Witherel & Evrard.) If he does not know them, I would move on.

3. Ski instructions to "adapt" to new boots and new geometry.

Be patient but the rewards will be great since you will be able to ski much better.
