There you go. J2lateral thinkers!

Oh, and erm, Wilton, Axminster, wool blend? Look folks I was broke, skint, kein spondules. It was unter die bett, out of sight, available. I knew that one day there would be a reckoning, but it was a long time down the road. I also took a beating about the ski wax on the kitchen floor, and letting out the big cupboard as a bedroom. Ahh well.....

Luck? I have been in Niederau this week for the past 10 years, and many before that. One bad year! Luck? It's a snow brainer!

Andy, the carpet was inside the boots!

Who is it that you work for again, Don?

You were related to a guy, Andy?

Em, in the past, it seems to be security that has refused the boots. Oh, and whatever you do, don't say the word "bomb".

So Scapula you now have three options:-

1) Buy a new pair of boots
2) Buy some new footbeds
3) Find a stanley knife and a biro and get busy

Actually Em, only Scapula and I have complete retention of marbles on this one. The stated criteria eliminates your 1) and 2).
I can assure you that 3) worked for me, and lasted for a total of 4 seasons. For me, it is the nadir of commonsense ~ too much space in the boot ~ fill it. All the footbed criteria remains the same.
I accept it is not the ideal solution for one such as yourself, y'know pots of money........

Reading these threads just confirms my thoughts. There are no identifiable rules. It isn't rocket science. For my money, Easyjet stole a march when they introduced the common sense rule for hand baggage weight, you must be able to lift it into place, subject to a size, 550X450x225. (going off memory, so don't carp)
So they could steal another march by making a positive hand baggage ski boot statement.
