Replying to Boot Advice (narrow heel & high arch)
Hey guys at the start of the season I had planned to get a new pair of ski boots to replace my full tilts with something a lot more burly. I went to my local bootfitter and he gave me a quick run down on the shape of my foot and why the full tilt's were not the best boots for my foot. He told me I have a narrow heel and a "B" width foot (I.I.R.C), as well as a mid-high arch. After this he stated that I would be best to be in a plug style or race boot. The problem is that the boot I am looking for is a big mountain or freeski specific boot that has a good boot board for bigger landings and hard impacts. It seems really hard to find a boot that is both good for my feet and ideal for the type of riding I like to do. I was also wondering if a high arch would mean a higher volume foot? I was eying up the Patron Pro but apparently it is for a lower volume foot shape. Has anyone else had to deal with this kind of foot shape? I need some recommendations for a boot that fits the bill. PLEASE!! I dont want to deal with another year without new boots
