I was wondering if someone could point me in the right position, I went skiing for the first time last year and loved it!! naturally, I'm going again this year (in about 2 weeks, hurrahhh!) but the only problem is that I have large calves, I'm not big all over (about a size 12) but I found it really embarassing and difficult to get bigger boots. What would you recommend?

Thanks in advance :-)

Hi Banafell,

You are not alone with this problem, my wife and many of our female customers have experienced the same pains. One thing to look out for on the boot is whether or not the rear support of the boot is adjustable. On most Salomon boots for example there is the ability to lower the rear support of the boot which will stop it digging into the calf and hopefully make it less painful.

The previous comments are valid, going for a larger boot is not the answer as you need the correct support to hold the forefoot and heel in place.

Hope its not as painful next time.

Regards,

Mike

can anyone help settle an arguement with regard to the timing of the evening meal in a chalet on Christmas Day. My understanding is that it is normally at the usual time (7.30 - 8pm) however someone is also saying that it is earlier (6.30 - 7pm).

Any advice is appreciated,

MJ
