I am in the RS130. I had footbeds/canting done by bootfitter. The heels were a bit loose so I went back and he put in a heel cup. Yesterday, I took out the footbeds and found 1/4 inch heel lifts in both boots. Is this normally done with heel cup placement? Why is this done? I skied without...

I'm shopping for my first real inbound boot since I was a kid. I first moved out west, I went straight for a touring setup since I was mainly looking for a way to move efficiently for winter climbing, but I won a season ski pass and met a cute park rat and started skiing inbounds for about half...

Due to a recent ankle fusion, I have a huge difference in the circumference between my ankles. When I bought Zipfits I went for the Grand Prix with the highest amount of OMfit material and that is perfect on my healthy ankle but way too much on my bad one. I tried to harvest OMfit by heating...

There have been a few discussion/questions asked by people where to get boots fitted in Wisconsin. Yesterday I spent 3 hrs at Sheperd and Schaller Sporting goods in Wausau. It's there big dungeon sale but they also have whole store discounts right now too. I have 2 friends looking for boots...

Is there a way to move the cuff on a Fischer more than what is available with the red inserts?

I have this problem where my calves are way too big diameter for my boots to buckle and feel good. My calves (especially the left one) change size dramatically, sometimes swelling up and sometimes slimming (relatively) down. I bought these boots specifically because they fit my calves...

What's the collective wisdom? Are custom footbeds beneficial for a strong 8 year old skier/ski racer? Or are they counter productive due to rapid foot growth/waste of money? We haven't used them yet, as I didn't feel a need, but as my daughter moves into racing and as a stronger skier, I wanted...

During and after this season, I started to develop bunions on both feet, with my (longer) left foot experiencing the most discomfort. At this point, some of my normally comfy shoes hurt, so I need to address the issue medically AND with my boots....which is where you guys come in. Currently, I...

It appears many ‘19 boots are now “Heat Moldable” & even some carry over models now claim to be as well. Would someone educated talk me through this process?

Since this seems to be the bootfitting thread... anybody know of good bootfitters near Cincinnati? Another question- anybody with extremely high arches and a ‘high volume foot’ (tall foot?) have problems with the tops of your feet feeling pinched or your feet falling asleep? I’m assuming that...

I walked into a very reputable shop today, the one I have had my eye on and been talking about, cash in hand, ready to buy Lange ZB 27.5, but they told me they couldn't guarantee the fit for the $800 price.. I feel like no one wants to spend the time and grind/stretch the smaller boot for me...

Now up to their full potential..... Original Equipment: - Superfeet Kork - exact composition no longer available. - Aligned. - Triple stacked custom foam liners fit like they were painted on. Work: - A few punches - Liners finally broken in so that there is room for a light ski sock. Recent...

Am considering new boots. In a recent conversation with a friend, we left a few questions unanswered. 1. Is there a standard for boot pricing? Full retail? Something less? Depends on what type of boot? Ie; Race or consumer boot 2. What about fitting? Should you expect that to be part...

Skiing in the new Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD boots this year and loving them. Only issue is a painful spot on the outside top of one big toe. The heat molding process didn’t fix that spot and both the shop where I purchased the boots, and and a shop in North Conway tried but were unsuccessful in...

I just had my first day on new boots and am gradually getting used to them. They're dalbello drs 110, old boots are lange rx 80 W LV. The forward lean between the two is very different. From what I can tell new boots are 18 degrees old are 12. On groomers it felt fine, but the forward lean was...

New for this coming season is the K2 Recon all-mountain boot featuring an ultralight weight, a new Ultralon liner, and a cool look. Fortunately, the 26.5-mondo test pair is exactly my size, so I have been able to use it over 20 days in conditions varying from firm groomers to knee-deep blower...

I apologize ahead of time for the length. Won't be offended if you don't read the whole thing. The bottom line question is how can you tell how much of a shim to post on the zeppa board toe area to get forward. Trial and error? Is there a math equation (please let there be math)? Some way...

Don’t even know what these are called. But these are full length insert to go to the bottom of the boot. One side thicker than the othe (goes by mm increments). It balanced out my bow-legged stance. Night and day difference! I took them out of my boot and put them in my hiking boots. My...

so after 5 seasons on Lange XT 130’s it was time for a new pair of boots. I decided to go with the new dual core RX’s this time for a bit more performance and the new design. I put my BD liners in these and will ski on the boot untouched to see what I feel needs to be tweaked. So far my...
