Ankle/Feet Support

Just wondering how many people are using additional foot support beyond just your boots? I've read a lot of people using the Wintergreen Superfeet - or get custom insoles done.

Anyone use any kind of ankle wrap to provide more support or to help prevent injury?

My problem is that left foot has a bone right below the ankle that sticks out (almost looks like a second ankle). Someone posted pictures a little while ago of the same thing. My right foot feels fine in my boots - but the left puts too much pressure on that bone and it hurts after 20-30 minutes. Anyone have any recommendations on different materials, companies, etc.
 
get wider boots?

or my mom has this stuff that's like thick jelly and it's really comfortable. I used it in my hocket skate when I had stitches in my foot and there was no discomfort.
 
I use Superfeet. I'd definitely like something more. I've got collapsed arches, but my orthotics don't fit in my boot.

Also, I do have a bone below my ankle in both feet that don't stick out, but when I ski they're kinda like a pressure point and it can get kinda unconfortable.

I have yet to try out custom liners though
 
no $$$ yet - I'll probably move to new boots next season, but I'm not sure wider will solve anything, since they're still going to be tight around the ankle. The actual foot width is fine.
 
then you should consider the jelly stuff. one side is sticky and you just peel the plastic off and it sticks onto your skin
 
Or go talk with a competent bootfitter and explain his situation, and what exactly is going on in his boot. Then the real problem could be solved rather than temporarily fixed.
 
NOOOOOO!!!!

adding material inside the boot will do nothing but make the problem worse! go see a boot fitter. you will most likely be put into some form of arch support (why you're not already i don't know) and if that doesn't solve your problems they will punch out the ankle on the boot

 
this is deffinately what you should do, go to a boot fitter. i had to get one of my boots punched out and it made a world of difference..
