My boot fitters have always taken the spoilers out of my ski boots. I have been having a problem with feeling like - once I warm up - there is too much space behind my calf. If I tighten the top buckle, it really creates havoc with my already poor circulation. I put the spoilers back in just to see. Problem solved! It takes up the space and the spoilers that came with the boot doc liners are so pliable that they don't push me too far forward.
@knolan12 I always have some numbness in my left foot but it doesn't always cause pain. If my top buckle is too tight - pain. If it is correct - numbness but no pain.
@skiwest As to burning under the balls of the feet ... yes a custom footbed can definitely help. It can help to keep your feet from slipping forward in the boot. This can prevent toe bang and keep the pressure off the balls of your feet. It is possible to slip forward in just micro amounts and that puts all your weight onto the balls of your feet.
