For the skier who has everything!

Make sure you stay at accommodation with a heated boot warmer, Mrs W always starts the day with those Heat pad toe warmers but she is a bit of a wimp :wink:

Do they put the heated boot warmers in the rooms?

They normally do not allow boots in the room ...... you normally find the boot warmers in the ski and boot room.

EmmaEvs, do be cautious with commercial boot warmers. I wrote off a new pair of Conformable footbeds when I trusted one machine. The footbed shrivelled up because the machine overheated the footbed.Cost to me £100 :evil:
I'll not stay anywhere that won't allow me to take at least my liners to my room.

The places we stay in have a heated book locker room, which seems to keep my boots warm and dry :D

Emma,
Be careful taking your liners out - I took mine out and totally failed to get them back in! My husband had to do it for me :oops:

Ally

Never taken my liners out, never had a problem

For most boots, it's pretty easy to get the liners back in, so long as the shell isn't too cold. Sometimes there are seams on the liner, or sharp pieces of plastic protruding a little in the shell which will snag. You can run some duct tape down the inside of the boot cuff, to cover any snags. Also place a little tape over seams on the heel of the liner if needed. You can remove custom foot beds before using boot driers, but you would normally have to remove the liner to do that.

I don't like the newspaper stuffed in the boot idea, as this will restrict air flow, which is what really dries boot liners (especially in the mountains, where the humidity is very low).

Have you ever actually been skiing before????? )

I use those crystals that were mentioned, simply insert the bag into the linings and they take away any moisture and smell overnight. Put them close to a radiator, as they need to be kept warm despite what you might have thought.

Never had a problem with boot warmers in a ski room in a chalet.

Don't very often take linings out either, maybe once at the end of the season, and never had a problem either, same as Ian.

The less you fanny about with your boots once they fit you perfectly, the better I think.

But do keep them warm while you are away.
