Boot Problems! Peroneal Tendon Pain

Thought I would reach out here before heading to my local shop. My problem is I’ve been getting major pain in my peroneal tendon. To the point i’ll tap out after 4 hours of skiing. This is happening in both legs. I never really got the pain this bad last season. The boots I am using are Full Tilt First Chair 96. I’ve used these for probably 3 maybe 4 seasons now. Now i’m no boot fitter but when I take out the liner and examine it. It is extremely worn down. Are these boots near the end of there life? I am a pretty aggressive skier. And i’m starting to ponder the idea of getting a new boot set up. Was looking at ideas of how to mitigate the pain from the boot. So far i haven’t done much but try riding with the straps and booster loose. I’ve been rolling out my legs all day and putting heat and ice on/off. The pain is a 6.5/10 so quite excruciating. Anyways hope someone can put there 2 cents in.

You’re pretty much on it, if u want to keep the same boots get a new liner. But at this point I’d say commit to some new ones.

3 or 4 seasons of how many days per season? If you ski a lot it might just be time for new boots. Liners usually last 200 days or so, so if you’ve reached that or near that I’d check out some new boots brotha. If it’s super packed out your foot is most likely being pushed into the hard plastic of the shell.

Thanks man. I think it’s time
to upgrade to a nicer boot. The 96 at the time was bottom of line for Full Tilts first chair line up.
