Hi I purchased some new ski boots last year and tried them out for the first time at Christmas in Bansko, I had the boots moulded so they are a snug fit, but the soles of my feet were on fire after about half an hour, it was sheer agony - I am going back to Snow and Rock to have them looked at, but does anyone have any amazing remedies for this condition so that I dont want to cry on the ski lift going back down with pain, or have to take my boots off every so often to ease the pain, other ...

maybe different socks would help??? someone told me I could wear normal socks not thick ones if the boots fit snug and that ski socks are only for ill fitting boots????
HELP!!!!

Do you have footbeds? The normal sock thing is good advice. Gone are the days where you have great big wooly ski socks. Get some nice good quality ones.re: burning soles - any remedies
what are foot beds? I just have the moulds....
re: burning soles - any remedies
Ah. Suprised they did not recomend them to you. I used to work in a shoe shop many moons ago. I am not an expert but I think you problem may well be lack of arch support. Snow & Rock sell Superfeet footbeds. They provide arch support and help aline you feet. May be worth a go?re: burning soles - any remedies
Are you curling your toes inside the boot when you turn - I know I sometimes do and always get foot burn after that.I know this may sound really mad, but you've not put on or lost weight or had a kid as foot shape can change, especially after having a baby. I know it sounds odd, but it's true.
Definitely get the custom footbeds - where you stand on a machine as it moulds to your feet - helps massively
Good luck

its not as mad as it sounds, no the weight is not the problem the problem I have is my shoe size varies by a size and a half the left is 4 and the right 5and half, plus a very high instep, so my sole takes most of the weight especially on my left foot, the right boot seems ok...
even if I bought odd boots it would not take away the fact my left foot uses the sole for most of its weight, I get the problem with normal shoes too, but not half the pain as with ski boots.... I am desparate to ...

re: burning soles - any remedies
Definatly try the footbeds. See you in Pamps Gill. Waht hotel you at?re: burning soles - any remedies
i got my boots `salomon` ellipse moulded i think? They were heated and I had to stand in the for 20 minutes in the shop. Is that the footbeds that would have been moulded?.Also according to the burd in the shop the whole inside of the boot can come out and can be used to walk around in the snow for up to 30 minutes. I had a look but am feirt to incase it doesnt fit back in
re: burning soles - any remedies
I've also got the salomon elipse - the custom footbed is a separate thing from the main boot.Yes the whole of the inner does come out as it does with all ski boots. They are heated up for you to fit them, but the footbeds are an additional item - they'll cost about £40 but worth every penny. I couldn't ski without them

re: burning soles - any remedies
I had the same problem and footbeds sorted it straight away even though they do work out expesive for what they are.I too got mine from Snow & Rock...
