Boot/foot comfort

[AJM]

It went great! The bootfitter was really helpful and after looking at the boots and scanning my feet decided that new footbeds would be the best start so they are installed now and ready to try out at Dobson this Saturday, woohoo.
Feels a bit different/higher in my heels, I think that could be the issue, too much pressure coming on the balls of my feet,which is what the scan showed.
he said we could also adjust the inside base of the boot if needed so other stuff to try if this isn't quite right still
Anyway, time will tell...I'm feeling hopeful.

Brilliant !!! Make sure you let us know how it goes xx

And it went well!
Intially I skied for about three hours and feet started to get a bit tingly and sore ( argghhh I thought!) so lunchbreak and boots off for a little bit. Then back into it and I got through to 3.45 and my feet weren't sore!! Tired yes but kinda what I expect but not the intense pain I had had all season. I think the new footbeds took the morning to settle in and I felt really good in the afternoon. I'm so relieved to say the least, and I think I skied so much better for it, had so really good smooth and confident runs.

Big yay and big thanks to gnomes

Oh and tried out some demo skis; rossignol and dynastar actually liked both, especially for the hardish snow we had in the morning. I think I’m just too easy to please so anything seems to make me happy! AJM: I actually hired the k2 mindbenders at turoa as well, and liked them as well… yeah too easy! Makes for hard decision next year when I will probably need new skis.
