Boot Causing Pain

I have recently been experiencing pain in my leg about 5 inches above my ankle on the outside sides of my legs. I have skied about 100 days in my boots since I bought them, but only started experiencing this issue in the last 2 weeks. What could be causing problems? My boots are dalbello KR2 pros if that helps.

First things first, have you been fitted by a respectable boot fitter?

Go back to that person and have them take a look. They'll be able to fix your problems since it's their job to do so. Also seeing the boot/your foot in person will give them more accurate detail instead of typing up your problems on ns.

Sounds like you might need a new liner. or a cant adjustment. Go see the boot fitter for sure!

The Dalbello Liners or the Intuition ones? I have the intuition ones if it makes a difference.

I have no experience with dalbello liners but I know intuition liners pack out quick. Depending on how good of care you took on your liners you might need a new set.

We have this handy dandy thread for questions just like yours:
https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/768122/The-Official---What-is-wrong-with-my-boots---Thread

1. Do you have proper footbeds?
2. How dead does your liner feel? Has it compressed/packed out too much?
3. Is your liner a wrap style or tongue style?
4. Do you have any injuries in that area, pre-existing or recent?
