    Is it the boots...or is it me?

    Hi all, Just started skiing again after a year off when my husband was recovering from a surgery and couldn't ski and I'm noticing some issues with my ski boots from a couple years ago and wanted to get some input. I'm currently skiing in Nordica Sportmachine 95 flex. I have had my foot...

    Low volume ski boots recommendation for slim feet?

    Hi divas, I'm wondering what brand/model would you recommend for low volume feet? I will definitely go to a good boot fitter for next purchase but I want to have some sense of knowledge before I go. E.g. I could check with them if they carry some interesting brand/model before going. I could...

    Boots

    I just did a boot fitting clinic. I cannot believe what a fool I have been all these years... Shims-for those not in the know shims are fill used to create a stable contact between the boot shell and the skiers foot and lower leg. Typical they are inserted between the shell and the lining...

    foot numbing and pain

    First day out today and had to stop after one run. Last year, my boots seemed to have packed out and I was getting pain from my feet sliding and then gripping to keep from sliding. I also buckled too tightly and somehow developed a neuroma on my foot. Got new boots, custom orthotic, boot fitting...

    Is a heated bag worth it for cabrio style boots?

    Hi all, last season I picked up the Kulkea heated boot bag, and I LOVE it for making getting into my Langes a breeze. I’m now debating getting one for my dad. But I’m curious about the utility as he just switched to a cabrio style boot, which he found easier to get into (aging and has some foot...

    Question: What are your thoughts on Surefoot ski boots?

    Anyone have them? Are they worth their price? (900-1200 USD) While I love my Technicas, years decades of dancing have taken a toll on my feet and left me with a lot of calluses that sometimes do cause pressure points. I'm looking at new ski boots after this season as mine have now seen better...

    Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum and am seeking some help with ski boot fit. I started skiing 4 years ago and I have been skiing 75+ days each season and would classify myself as a intermediate/advanced skier. Both my resort and backcountry boots give me terrible foot, ankle and calf pain...

    Help! I want to quit skiing because my boots hurt so much.

    Hello! New poster here... I posted this on Epic Ski a day ago, and someone from Ski Diva recommended that I come here instead for female-centric advice. Thanks in advance! My tale of woe... I've always been the adventurous lady who's wanted to organize ski trips with friends all the time, but...

    Question: Need advice on Hawk Ultra 90W

    I am very interested to hear from anyone who skis on a pair of Hawk Ultra, but more specifically 90. I am an advanced skier/ex racer/instructor, but because of where I live, I don't get to ski much, if at all over the past decade. My last pair of boots I bought when I was 18 and for some...

    Ski Boots in Bay Area/Santa Cruz

    Any recommendations on where to buy ski boots in the Bay Area or Santa Cruz? I'm an advanced skier and it seems like a lot of local places carry more beginner/intermediate equipment (that they will try to convince me to buy). I also have big feet (size 10 or 10.5) and wide/muscular calves so it...
