Well, I was recently fitted to full tilt hot doggers, and they've been pretty sore around the toe buckle lately, I've tried fully tightening them and also leaving completely undone but it all eventually hurts a lot, it was so bad I didn't want to do the last run of the day(only a 4 hour day), I've been using them 4/5 days so far, at first I was having pain on top of my foot(just under the toe buckle), I then got some thinner socks and now it's pain on the bottom of my foot, but in the same spot. I've had them heatmoulded and I do have a footbed, Any ideas?

thanks!

invest in some ski socks as well as booster straps. they honestly help. it cured all of my shinban ive ever had and i have crappy boots haha. and also maybe you should go to a bootfitter.

Sounds like the shell is a bit narrow in that spot for you. Did the boot-fitter do a shell fit for width, around the outside of your foot? You can pack the liner out all you want, but if the shell is too close to your foot then you will need to get it stretched in that area.

Did you even read the thread?

Anyways it might take some time to get used to the foot beds, if you don't wear them in your street shoes.

it's a little weird that your pain changed from top to bottom with a pair of socks, so I would give it a bit longer to figure out for yourself what is actually going on (I mean you could just wear them for an hour or so in your house to figure it out if you wanted), depending on where the spot on the top was you could get it punched out. Pretty sure they can't do a hell of a lot more with the bottom of your foot.

yeah the fitter said it'd take up to a week skiing 4 or so hours a day to know whether I'd need a shell stretch, I personally think I'm going to but i'll give it 2 more days max. Yeah I got them shell fitted(I did the windscreen wiper thing)

False. A competent boot-fitter can tell how tight a fit is going to be in 10 seconds by looking at your foot inside the shell. Sounds like he doesn't really know what he is doing...

the impression I got was that he did, and when I came back saying I had pain in the side of my foot(when I was passing) he said give it a few days to see if it settles and if it doesn't come back and we'll look at it and maybe need to stretch the shell he didn't really say the week thing I sorta just misquoted.

You dont need to keep skiing them, he should be able to put your foot in the shell and see if it needs a streach. Who was it? was it hamish?
