You might be better off removing their toes before you leave.

re: enormous feet

If you pre booked your boot / ski package, it might be worth getting in touch with the tour operator Question

Hmmm I would certainly talk to your rep as soon as possible would certainly be worth getting to the front of the que on 1st day as well. Maybe do as Snik says and give your tour op a call as well.

Hi, one of my sons has UK size 13 feet, first time he had to squeeze into UK 12 equivalent not great but ok for boarding as boots are softer. Next time brought his own!Sure this will be even more uncomforatble for skier though. To ensure full enjoyment from this trip you may need to invest in a pair of fitted boots

re: enormous feet

You might be able to pick up a cheap pair on ebay. Doesnt matter what they look like and use them as an insurance in case your ski hire provider cant accomodate.

It would be a pain to fork out big money for a brand new pair of brand name boots out there.

Hi,

You need to request as soon as possible with the company you booked with , i know that pamps ski school only have a couple of pairs.If you tell me when you are arriving, your name and what you need i will check with the head of the ski school for you and let you know, also what company you are travelling with.

re: enormous feet

Hi Michelle,
That would be brill if you could do that. We arrive on the 20th dec for 1 week, staying at the Snezhanka, Nicola Hope and the tour operator is Thompson. The sizes we will need are 13 and 14. We have spoken to the travel agent but not much help just says we should be ok...

Many thanks and much appreciated.
