I used to suffer from this problem while skiing and also walking. I used to have a condition called plantar faciatis (spelling?,), otherwise known as Policeman's Heel. Caused by overuse (policeman's reference - too much walking) or the arch of the foot. Mine was caused by fallen arches (flat feet).
Mine has been helped (never cured), with the use of insoles that support the arch. When it was at its most painful I also had steroid injections into the sole of my foot (that was fun....) SO I think my point is, arch support may be the solution. My ski boots have custom insoles as the ones that they came with were very flat and provided little or no support. I also have the same problem with my hiking boots. Good luck :D |

Just dont forget to take them off when you put your skis on :thumbup:
Cant say I have ever had a problem with it. But is a good excuse to purchase items. This season I bought something from a company that advertises on this site. It was a piste map of the 3V on a glasses cloth! Totally not needed, but was a great stocking filler for my dad. Problem is I will have to get him a new one every time we go to a new resort :roll: |

Why not start the wandering and not buying now? :roll: |

Must be awful. In the last 5 months you have been skiing twice and now a sun holiday. HOw do you cope :roll: |

I have had steroid injections before for a foot injury. Excellent stuff it is!

I like my meat rare, but are you sure that does not still have a pulse? :shock:

Sounds extremely civilised. Maybe some of them should emigrate to France ;)
That cart idea sounds great, at the bottom of the big cable car in Avoriaz there is a car park. Walking across 2" thick ice wearing ski boots is challenging at the start of the day, never mind at the end with tired legs :shock: |
