My girlfriend found it most amusing me sitting in them the last two evenings to "break them in". Getting up and down the stairs is interesting feels like I'm doing an impression of Frankenstein's monster
Perhaps you could offer to do the ironing in them )
Are you going to give them a try out on indoor snow soon?
No wearing them hasn't suddenly given me an urge to do the ironing :P
Worn them for 10 hours so far, mostly just sitting though rather than actually walking around in them. As someone who doesn't even like to wear slipper indoors, ski boots are a bit hot and sweaty and uncomfortable indoors heh.
Yup I'll be giving them a go at Hemel for a full 8 hour day on 3rd Sept, going to a coaching day then. And a 4 hours snowheads Hemel bash on the 12th
Got some pressure points atm how long do you need to give a new pair of boots to see if the liner is going to adjust to your foot rather than them needing to be altered.
Mostly sitting in your boots will not settle the liner into the right shape for support when you ski. Walk, flex them, stand in a skiing position, and make sure your heels are firmly into the heel pocket. Avoid standing still for long. IMHO (amateur) about 12 hours for the initial settling, it's a bit early to have fine tuning done, unless you are in agony, in which case you know the number to call!
Doing the ironing was a sensible suggestion on my part :P
