Replying to Boot Idea

mski:
Well, I'm not sure if this has been done but It occurred to me a while ago. For those of us that get shin-bang or just like tighter fitting boots why don't companies just create a boot thats specific for people with these problems. It's basic thinking, Im surprised it hasn't been done. First, have the cuff a size smaller than the boots actual size. so it will fit your lower leg tighter while allowing your foot the ability to actually breathe and have blood running through it. Also have the cuff run as long as the size of the shoe, so its not awkward fitting on your leg, even have it run an inch or so higher just enough so it doesn't interrupt calf movement. Also, the booster strap thats been incorporated into Nordica boots should be incorperated times 2 to the new boots. Like on top of one strap another would be below it on the cuff but only pulling in the liner so there would be holes in the cuff. I know the idea need alot of work, but i believe they would be very helpful to the boot industry. What do you think?
