someone at work has suggested Falke Ski socks - so going to get a pair or two of those unless anyone on here thinks they are a waste of time
re: burning soles - any remedies
Sounds disgusting but bathing your feet in your own urine is meant to toughen your feet and skin. I used to do the 100 mile marches during my army days and never had any foot problems. Happy pissingre: burning soles - any remedies
well i did read that bathing your feet twice a day in cold tap water for 15 minutes helps, but hey anything is worth a try
just off to the loo re: burning soles - any remedies
6yrs in the Royal Marine Commandos and never a foot problem in my life.but shot once
broke my leg in a crash
and have been burnt
feet are fine though
re: burning soles - any remedies
I too suffer this with all shoes, I am worse when there is too much hard skin on my feet so toughing up is no good to me, and again I find it hard to find shoes which are comfitable but my feet same size but my shoes range from a size 4 to 5 but ski boots are a 6 but my feet don't move around insideAre foot beds like an additional insole?

I got my boots from a shop in Uxbridge/Hayes (west London) called Bartletts, fantastic service, he heated boot inners and also the sole inserts, but he also set up the boots correctly for me, have you had this done?
This is where they set the 'set' of the boot, so as you bend your knees the boots remain straight, it involves the bolt things on the sides of the boots.
Also had boot problems at first (I have bony ankles and got a 'cold' left foot due to blood cut off) and Bartletts spent ...

Also had boot problems at first (I have bony ankles and got a 'cold' left foot due to blood cut off) and Bartletts spent about 4 hours with me on several nights trying different remedies, finally sorted it properly with tinkering and reheating the boots with extra padding taped to my feet in the relevant places to allow extra room for blood vessels.
If you have hot soles, it is possible that your feet are constantly moving in the boot slightly (bit like getting sore fingers from sandpapering) so different/better socks may help.
Try asking for the boots to be reheated for you, while you wear the socks that you will use while skiing, and wear them round the house for 1/2 hour or so to check them out.
PS,
It is fine to remove boot inners, I usually do this each night when skiing to make sure any dampness is dried out.

If you have your own skis and bindings you can have a spring plate fitted to the skis that goes all the way along under your skis between the bindings. I had them fitted last year and it makes them much more comfortable as they act as a shock absorber.PP

The footbeds replace the existing inner sole in the boot (you have to pull the original ones out). The footbeds can be used in other ski boots of the same size. Sounds like you definitely need custom footebeds- Did the boot sales- tech spend plenty of time helping you choose the correct size boot shell? If the boot is too big it will cause problems (likewise if it is too small).It can be difficult to find a shell/brand that suits one's feet well .There should be a gap of around half an inch ...

If the boot is too big it will cause problems (likewise if it is too small).It can be difficult to find a shell/brand that suits one's feet well .There should be a gap of around half an inch to three quarters of an inch maximum behind you heel when you are standing in the shell with the liners removed and your big-toe just touching the front of the shell (standing in a skiing position with kees bent). Pressure from other parts of the shell can create problems showing up in another part of your feet. Thin ski socks are best. The boot liners will insulate your feet and keep them warm. Well stocked ski shops will sell thin, no-itch woolen ski socks. These are great. I have skiid for over 20 years and still experience discomfort for the first few runs of the day. Good luck
