God I'm rubbish searching on this thing! CEM works for a specialist sports foot company in the Bicester area, can someone remind me of the name of it please?
The daft thing about my problem is that up until the pain starts my boots fit me like gloves, but once the devil pain comes I know I need to get the boot off for a bit. Once its off and pressure relieved, Im fine ok within 5 mins for a couple of hours with no problems.
Enough of my problem Im boring you!

No there is not. There is what I would describe as a smallby pass which links with the main road that goes up the valley. The main town centre is relatively QT apart from the night slalom week when the whole ski circus comes to town.
Schladming is a working town as opposed to some resorts which are no more than ski resorts. For that reason it may not be as pretty as some places but all the Austrians that go skiing there themselves cannot all be all wrong.For those who want to be surrounded bt Brits and Irish then give it a miss, but the ones that are there go for good reasons.

The year before last by the 3rd week in November every piste in Schladming was prepared without them having to rely on their extensive snow canon system at all. Its a fine resort but not for the young Clubbers though!

tino_11 thanks for the interest but alas at 50 I am a little to mature to change.It is weird that I have no problem with the FOOT in any other activity at all. I am not saying it is MN but I will consider seeing a specialist to clarify it. I would never consider surgery as for my one/two weeks of 'Agonising' pleasure a year it would not be worth it.
Hopefully there is something that can be suggested. Perhaps its just about pain tolerance but it seems to get more managable the longer the ski week goes on.

Thanks for your reply. No thought that years ago. Even to the point of having special wide boots and having it blown etc. Thought originally for ages it was that. Even tried wearing a normal sock to see if that would prevent the pain. No change. Agree it normally is associated with the fairer sex but ski boots on the angle of the foot is similar to high heels ( so I have been told) and the pressure on my right foot may underneath slowly but surely cut the blood to the foot and hence the agony. I do not know if it is MN but seeking the views of those better informed than me. Some will say go and see a foot specialist but it is hard to replicate the symptons till you have been wearing boots for 3 hours working your socks off in the cold!

May have put this in the wrong section. Apologies please move if necessary. )

As the season is about to get close I thought I would ask our wise and much traveled ensemble if they could help me.
I posted part of this year and but for my inability to search for the damn thing I have had to type it out again.
Skied from 21 -28 in hired and owned boots with no problems. Like many had to pack it in with the arrival of little Scarlet Fez's for 16 years and have been fortunate to get back into it the last 5 years and have been 7 times since my return. Here lies the problem, started the first year hired boots, then bought my own Boots from Bartlets in Hillingdon and Terry the fitter has spend ages to address my problem, and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who wants their boots properly fitted.
My problem every year is and you can not replicate if before you go away. Boots fit and feel fantastic for 2-3 hours then the pain from hell starts to arrive. Only my right foot and the pain seems to emulate from underneath and to the centre of my foot. I have now realised that when it starts I have to dash ahead of my friends, get the boot off and get circulation going again. Job done for little while longer. Get into the habit that everytime we have a break boot off etc.
Before I started skiing again I had an operation on the same foot to address a bunion to the side of my big toe. This naturally causes me to when I am on the balls of my feet, the weight on the right foot seems to be centred more towards the next toe where pain seems to originate from. I have tried moulded foot insoles etc but with no difference. I mentioned the problem to a foot specialist in a running shop and he stated that it sounded like Mortons neuroma.Is there anyone out there that could give advise on this or even a possible remedy I would be most gratefull.I may have not made myself very clear but if you have suffered it you will know what I mean.

Appreciate its slightly west of London in Hillingdon near to Heathrow, but try Bartletts. Always found them very good and thorough. Not happy take them back. Look out for Terry I think his name was, a cross between an old Hells Angel and a retired Status Quo roadie. Grey pigtail and a beard you wont miss him.Know this may not suit but try and avoid weekends as they hire a lot of kit out and it gets busy with school trip fittings. That being said the early bird catches the worm.
