Morning Tony

Canada isn't in Italy. Not the last time I looked, anyway. :mrgreen:
Ski Boot Problem
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 4 Replies
Hi

Its possible that as the liners have packed down, the excellent fit you had is no longer quite so good.

I had a similar problem with Atomic M11's.

My advice would be to go into a shop in resort, explain the problem and they will undoubtedly sort it.
My boots came with "conformable" footbeds and after I'd had a couple of weeks on snow everyting had compressed a little and I was getting very achy feet and ankles. The boot fitter took out the conformables, placed a cheap pair of footbeds in and put mine back on top.

Result? The boots were literally better than when I bought them.

Cost? Nothing, except the price of a couple of beers!!

From experience I find bootfitters over there much better than your average Snow and Rock girl, with much more know-how. They've seen and heard it all before and have all the tricks of the trade.

Lastly, I know how demoralising it can be when comfy boots start to hurt. But don't worry, there is an easy solution.

Good luck!

Preferences are for skiing reds at full tilt and the occasional black.

Ski 2-3 times a year and have now been skking for nearly 30 years.

No, unfortunately not!!

I've had a pair of Atomic GS9's for a few weeks (on snow)and like them a lot. However, I want something quicker and more for short - medium turns rather than medium -long turns.

As I always go for Atomic gear they seem a sensible option, especially as they are suppoesed to be a bit more flexible than the previous version.

Just wondered what anyone thought.

Probably quicker to feed the sheep the suet, onion and seasoning then kill it.
