Do your boots hurt your feet?

[DC_Steeze]

My boots seem to fit me and ive had them heat fitted. When i put them on they feel great then after 2 days of skiing by the end of the day my inner arches hurt so much i cant bear to dig my edge in the way i should and start to ski sloppy and then finally have to stop. Is this normal for alot of skiing or is there someway to fix this? And when i say two day of skiing im often skiing more than 8 hours a day easy.

my inner arches hurt after skiing as well. this is because i'm very flat footed and there is a bone sticking out slightly on the inside of my foot. this causes it to rub against the boot and usually skin gets broken.

sounds about what i have. Do you think different foot beds would fix this? or help this?

footbeds would probably help. more than likely the more expensive they are the better, but i just got some superfeet ones and my boots feel fantastic now. Never have to undo any buckles, feet aren't old, they fit tight, my feet don't move.

i used to have sore feet like you.... then i wore full tilts

me too, then i wore dalbellos

and so did my brother, but then he wore salomons (not SPK's)

A footbed is the answer. sometimes a slip in can be enough. ie. superfeet.

If not, and you have good range of movement through your foot a good custom footbed can correct your stance alignment.

If your navicular bone is very prominent you may still require a punch or grind to the shell to give it the bone the space it will need.

as always, seek a bootfitter in your area.

if it is not the navicular bone and the pain you feel maybe be the plantar fascia tendon. also footbed is the solution.
