Cry me a river.
I thought you were some kind of tough guy, or is this just a lame ass way to brag about how much you can spend.

I miss my old Hansen boots. I could wear them all day no pain.

The new boots I rented this year were worse than an Iron Maiden.

I have friends who own ski shops, I don't spend a lot of money on ski gear. It just sucks going from ski boots that have over 200 days of skiing on them to fresh non packed out boots, they'll suck until I get some some more days in them and have them blown out to fit my duck like foot . It's just part of the sport. I may have to take a few days off next week just so I can ski more and get them fitting better quicker.

How long do you wait to have them punched out and new foot beds made?

Now that you mention it I bitch the same way every time I buy a new pair of riding boots.
You just have to excuse my rudeness to you based on the fact that I am jealous of where you live.

Part of the reason I like free heeling it is because the boots are so much more comfortable.

That's where I bought my last pair of boots. Spent the first three days in and out of there.

especially going up or down those grated stairs, try it with knee braces to boot, feels like that 10 foot stilt guy at fairs. Laughing Laughing Laughing

I can't imagine. The knee brace must be a detriment while squirming around on those quads, too.

New hockey skates without a good break in are HORRIBLE!

I used to bake my hockey skates in the oven before wearing them.

You are buckling them up too tight, just loosen them up and you will be fine.

I got their footbeds a couple years ago at the Park City shop.. Wasn't too stoked about spending the coin, but I'm glad I did. I doubt I get close to a 1/4 of the days you do though. If I lived in a ski town, I'd probably consider buying a set of their boots. Loosen your buckles, LMAO, right after I take my ankle weights off....

I skied the boots yesterday for 1.5 hours and the were insanely painful, I skied them for another hour and half this morning with much pain. I took them down to surefoot and they ground down the foot beds, I spent the rest of the day in them, 9 hours, with little pain. One more trip in there and they will have these boots dialed, best bots I've ever skied.

No way would my freak show feet fit into a pair of lange boots, they are just too narrow.

I can't believe that I can spend all day in these without having them punched out.



Not much snow here, but the hill is still skiing well. I've only had one good powder day all year. Fucked up because there has been a lot of snow come through but it's just been missing up, oh well, it's still fun up there.

I replaced my old boots with a pair of Lange and I learned that your shins aren't supposed to hurt. 40 years of skiing and I never knew that was possible.
