Getting back to slopes after a tibia break 3 years ago. Looking to buy some boots that will shift as much pressure as possible as high as possible. Break was slightly below mid point of tibia. Bone graft and titanium rod made leg stong again, but the higher the pressure point the better. In short, a tall comfortable boot for an intermediate skiier.

Also, has anyone heard of an ortho device possibly that can be added to boot to help with the pressure issue?

Thanks.

I know of only 1 bootfitter in the UK who is qualified to make the necessary boot modifications for you. (There may be others, it's just that I don't know them or their work) He can make medical grade ski boot and footwear modifications and work to orthopaedic consultants specifications.
He's a member of this forum too, as cem, though he might be away skiing this week :D

Here's his website address, suggest dropping him an email, outlining your needs.

Have a look at Ski Angels, sold on the Ellis Brigham website - seem to be the answer to a lot of shin problems - am buying some myself for this season, but if anyone has used them, this might be useful info to share.
Rather a bad day on the slopes than a good day in the office!
