Having suffered ( and still do) from painful feet whilst skiing :cry: I am more than interested to 'hear' if these boots perform as advertised ( i.e. pain free).
Does anyone here have any experience with them?
Thanks

FB, depends on your foot, liek all ski bots if suitable in shape for your feet and fitted correctly then there should be no problem, the live fit has two elastomer panels on the sides of the boot which allow the boot to stretch out a little with the foot as it spreads when weight is applied, it cartainly does that, but it really depends on your foot as to if it solves any particular fitting issue that you may have, give me an idea of the problems you suffer and i may eb able to help with some possible causes /solutions

CEM,
Problem I have is that I get a bad pain under my foot at the forward part of the arch. Its so bad I have to stop skiing.
Best way to describe it would be like standing/balancing on the 'ends' of 2 broom handles with the broom handle in the arch of your foot.
Am on 3rd pair of boots & have tried various insoles & now have custom made ones. Newest boots were fitted at EB ( as they had a good sale & got a real good price..........would have come to you for the boots otherwise!). Boots are salomon impact 8 with the mouldable shell & liner.Also have a custom molded insoles. Boots do not pinch and are fine as long as I,m not skiing!
The pain can be just as intense if skiing blue or black!
Whats weird is that the pain is erratic; skiing last week, feet fine all day; the following 5 days were painful with only 1/2 day respite.Loosing buckles etc on lifts, breaks etc did/does help a 'tiny' bit but not enough to stop it ruining the skiing day.
After speaking with a friend the other day, I am beginning to think its something to do with the tendons in my foot as opposed to something wrong with the boot. (In fact I'm sure the boot is okay)Was thinking about going to a sports physio to see if they can help.Either that or was going to try snowboarding , as their type of boot does 'appear' to be way more comfy ( although havent tried as yet).
What do you think?
