SO. I got my classics and have skiied them twice now. Mostly on complete slush or ice, and in my right foot i develop a pain about 15 mins into skiing....its bearable but still hurts like hell. It's right above that ball on your ankle on the outer side of my right foot, it feels like a muscle problem or fatigue, but I'm not sure. The boots have been molded so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated +K for help.

It sounds like it might be more of the way you are skiing or your muscles than the boots

Do you have a footbed in there? When your arches collapse, your ankle rotates inward, which means the outer portion of your ankle moves up and out. This could very well be footbed related...

then you don't have footbeds. definitely go back to your fitter and see if they will help with your alignment. It is most likely related to this.

orthotic = footbed = arch support

anywhere from $20-$250, they are necessary for keeping your foot stable and comfortable in a ski boot. You boot-fitter will assess what is best for you and give you some options
