![]() I'm going to take the boots into my local bootfitter this week but after looking at how tight the liner is in the boot i'm preparing for new booties This made the balls of my feet feel better but alas the toes are still rubbing the ends of the boots and are still being made sore. To try and end all this I take out the Conformable footbeds and pop the original ones in. ![]() Now the balls of my feet feel like their in a clamp and are hurting. One pair of Conformable footbeds later which inclouded arch support to cure the above and I thought they were great.Ĩ Skiing days later and I feel that ebay is the place for them to be!Īt first I could feel a small amount of room at the end of the boots and could wriggle my toes - "nice"Īfter skiing them noticed that my big toes were beginning to swell due to my load now being transferred more to them due to footbeds.Īlso I felt that as the days went by my feet felt like they were beginning to spread out and were now reaching the end of the boot and the big toes were rubbing and getting very sore.Īt the same time as the above my level of skill was increasing that I felt I needed to tighten my boot straps up to make me feel more secure in my boots while trying steeper red runs. When I got them fitted the guy doing the fitting noted my complaints of cramps in outside edge of feet after 15 mins walking the shop in them. I've had my XWave 8's for 8 days skiing now and at buying them they felt like they fitted like a glove, but. 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 :-) We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either). When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. 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). as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user.
