I recently bought Full Tilt Hot Doggers (after being fitted) and I've had no problems at all, apart from the fact that I'm getting pressure points on my boot where the bottom buckle is, I've tried leaving it completely unbuckled but it still gets quite sore when I'm waiting on the lift and while I'm on it, although when I'm skiing I sort of forget about it. As you can see in the pics(apologies for poor lighting) It leaves marks on it showing where the pressure is. Do you guys have any ideas how i can sort this?

P.S I've skied in them for 4 days(short days as my mountain doesn't open till about 9:30 and the day doesn't last long(9:30-3) and I have had them heat moulded)

Take your boots to your local boot-fitter and have him check to see how much room is between your foot and the shell in that location. It could be that your foot is too close to the shell in this area, and he will have to stretch the plastic.

It could also be the case that the t-nut is not sitting fully flush into the shell recess. He can check that as well.

i had the same problem with my 12 booters. it was on the outside of the heel. the camper bolt was digging into my ankle and causing mad pain. so i went to a shop and them gave me this foam pad thing to put over it. it helped.

Yeah I took them to a bootfitter when I was getting him to adjust my skis and he said to ski them for 3/4 full days skiing, or 7 days of the short days I was doing, The nut doesn't appear to be flush with the shell(on the inside) but if it was I don't see how it would stay in.

Thanks
