All,
I ski in a set of Tecnica's Mach1 LV boots that I am generally happy with. I use the original liner and I have a set of orthotics in them. One issue I have is that I seem to contact the front of the tongue with only the top of my shin.
Most of the time its not a problem but I do tend to develop shin bang and get bruises periodically right at the line of contact that I think if the contact area was more spread out might go away. My boot guy tried altering the geometry by putting in a small heel lift. That did give me more of a contact area but also started giving me a pressure point on the forefoot and at the top of the heel where it came up against heel pocket.
Is this something that I could address with an aftermarket liner or some other trick? Any tips welcome.
