I'm buying new ski boots

Brooksy, there is a song by the Eagles..Hotel California, just sing along now :D Of course I feel sure that Admin will accept lots of money instead, but that would be much less fun :D

Anyway, what do you have worth hiding? :lol:

I have chosen to visit a recommended fitter near oxford but profeet came a close second...would love to know how it went.

Will you be visiting a small market town just off the M40, with no mountains, but which has a Designer Outlet nearby )

Hi Everyone,
I'm back (with new ski boots) :D :D :D

I will write a full report tomorrow, but I'm too tired tonight - just got off the London train an hour ago.

It took me 3 hours to get the boots - it seems there IS something wrong with my legs and feet - and I got mens boots - I think the technician was a bit confused by the knobbly knees and hairy legs :lol:

And I have been ski-ing for 2 hours this morning at Milton Keynes in the Ladies class (no inspection of knobbliness or hairiness so I got in okay). It was very difficult - like trying to ski with a couple of plums under my feet and my leg turned the wrong way :shock:
But at least I didn't fall over - just had to snow-plough down the first run and wondered for a bit if I could ski at all like that.

Tony, I'm sure I wrote somewhere at the beginning of this thread that Profeet do a life-time guarantee on the comfort fit of the boots, so I can take them back any time to get them re-fitted :D

Bandit I know the song well & believe I stayed in that hotel in Engelburg although the name been changed to protect the guilty. :-)

I have sent admin a cheque to prevent you from having more fun on this forum. )

That would be telling. :oops:

I knew this would happen.
Profeet are the Milton Keys branch of the order of the Buffaloes,you will now have to ski on all fours or pay a forfeit :lol:

Ally where are you :?:
I am more than a little concerned as to your whereabouts ,after reading your post concerning rolling up your trousers & showing your knobbly knees & hairy legs you may have booked in to an initiation meeting at a masonic lodge instead of a boot fitting. :shock:
Please get in contact with us :)

brooksy, it's a typical J2ski membership ritual...had you not heard about it :twisted:

Brooksy, if you show daylight between your legs, you cannot possibly be ........

Have got myself new boots in the end of season sales out here and they are amazing-make all the difference although I can feel your pain ally, i have had them in the shop the last 3 nights to get the fronts blown and the heels ground out slighty!

fresh snow yesterday and fresh snow over weekend will put them more to the test!

Rossyhead,
How did you know they needed to be altered? Were they hurting you more than is normal, or what?

I got cramp in 2 of my toes after ski-ing in mine for an hour, and I've never had cramp before in my toes with hired boots. Do you think this is normal?
