    In this third episode we´ll move forward with what we learnt from the foot analyze (ep 1) and knowledge about different types of ski boots (ep 2). The Freeride World Tour Champion of 2012 and former swedish alpine ski team rider Christine Hargin will be action "foot modell" and she will get a new pair of boots that our boot-guru Henrik will pick out for her. In episode four and five easier adapting of these boots will continue with a custom footbed (ep 4) and baking the boots
    and liners in the owen (ep 5). In episode 6 there will be some straight BOOT FITTING with grindning, punching out and the more serious stuff!

    Great video! Very intrigued about the three different toe shapes you showed on a diagram. Greek vs Egyptian… can you explain what type of toe box is standard. I’d love to learn more about this aspect of boot fitting. Thanks!!!

    What about heel to instep perimeter, does that play a role in the size if larger than the foot length (measuring from heel cup corner to heel cup corner) while foot is in the Brannock?

    Hi, hopefully you will see this question; can you explain the formula you used to decide on the shell size? loaded size - relaxed size = shell size? i have a 26 - 26.5 (305mm) nordica speedmachine 130 carbon. also, how tight on the buckle should a proper fit be tightened? Mine felt good today, but i think i had them as buckled as tight as they can go.

    She has some sever bunions. What did you call that? It sounded like you said house vogues

      Its called hallux valgus

      Bunions and hallux valgus are subtly different. The bump you see with HV is always caused by deviation of the big toe - towards the other toes.
      Bunion however is a term that can be used used to describe any bump on the big toe joint - but commonly one that may result in some loss of motion. A bunion might be caused by HV but it might not. In my case I have a bunion caused by bone overgrowth after a football injury to that area - but my big toe is still correctly aligned. I don't have HV but I do have a bunion.
      Hope that made sense!

      Go to a shop and get boots that are fitted to your feet. You could have the same boots for 15+ years if you buy good quality boots. Don't get full tilts just because they sponsor a lot of park skiers.

      They are bunions which are a foot deformity that can be hereditary and also be exasperated by tight ill-fitting shoes
