I’m becoming quite aware of how the ‘normal’ way we design footwear squishes our toes, leading to many consequences, the least of which is misshaped feet . and every time I put on my ski boots, I know it’s not good . I wonder: is there hope on the horizon that alpine touring boots might start to come out with generous toe boxes? . I mean, it’s a matter of awareness, right? . so I’m curious how much of an outlier I am in my desire for boots that don’t contribute to mangling our feet, or whether this is become more of a common concern
Heel lift is rarely solved by a liner cook in my opinion, an Achilles or ankle lock padding is generally needed on the exterior of the liner.
I wish this was my experience getting new boots.
Putting on an actual ski sock is important, especially one that will be used for touring. 😊
Golden. Thank you.
Thx for sharing, and just wondering how do you choose the right last?

Is this any different with alpine boots?
Whoa, another dude with my same size! Glad I’m not alone. Finding boots sucks…
Haha! I was thinking the same :)
if your toes tough the front when standing up wont that be really painful when climbing ? or can you fix that with heat fitting
