Surprise, surprise, right?
On Dr Jeff's recomendation, my wife and I saw the bootfitter in the main base lodge ski shop at Mt. Snow. He's a great guy and really knows his stuff. I was having a problem with my left outter ankle rubbing near the canting adjuster on my Impact 8's. My wife has having a problem with the boot tounge rubbing her instep.
Long story short...we're both in Salomons...and they're both a bit big. I should be in a 27.5 vs a 28.5. My wife's size was fairly accurate, but the shell of her boot was just a bit wide for her foot.
I tried on a pair of Head Raptors in a 27.5. Ahhhh, now that's more like it! With a little adjustment to the toe, that would have been sweet. But at $749.....:-o
Luckily, ignorance is somewhat bliss. Aside from the boots being a bit big, I'm not getting any discomfort or blisters. I guess I'll start saving. Maybe I can find a place that doesn't sell all current year gear. I don't need the latest and greatest...just something that fits better.
