Some of the main problems:
- Boots too big; your feet will move around inside your boots, stopping you from getting an immediate result from your turns and with this you will get foot fatigue from curling your toes under to stop heel lift and which can cause foot cramps and blistering.
- Boots too small; this is not the most frequent problem as buying too big and not allowing the stretch of a few mm in the boot, and this can cause bruised or even in-growing toenails.
- Cheap foot beds/insoles; All boot manufacturers use cheap insoles in their footwear. It is important to upgrade your insoles, this will help you with better performance and posture. With “Remind Insoles” you also can use in all your footwear.
- Not the right socks; choosing the right socks is just as important and overlooked piece of your snow kit. Sock scientists designed supremely comfortable socks from “Stance Socks” from thick to light weight to give you the most comfort in your boots.
- Foot maintenance: This is something that you can do at home before your trip, it sounds simple but is especially important, cut your toenails and before you go shopping for boots, as this can cause bruised or even in-growing toenails. Please note before coming for your boot fit.
