I have put my liners in the wrong boot before and tried skiing. Not comfy.
Haha.Absolutely true story.I had this knucklehead stay one season with us in a skihouse back in the late 70's.He actually did put his boots on the wrong feet and skied with them.I see him at the bottom of Cannon and he's complaining about his boots.I look down and see they are on the wrong feet.He says thats probably why the buckles kept hitting each other.Wow!And this guys was a National Ski Patrol member wearing his jacket at the time.

This story seemed impossible to believe, until the last sentence. Then it all made sense. That wouldn't even be close to the dumbest thing I've seen by NSP.

I was skiing with a friends kids and the 10 year old had his boots on the wrong feet. He'd been skiing 1/2 the day with them like that. I offered to help him swap them over and he was just like 'nah I'm good".

I could understand a child doing it but this guy was about 21 yo.

Yeah, wasn't trying to top the story. I was just surprised when I pointed it out the kid didn't really care.

As an adult I don't even know how you can get your feet into the wrong boot in the first place.

The boot had to have been too big. You shouldn't even be able to do that
