Default strap-ons

I can't believe I'm the only one that gets sore feet from ski boots. So, I'm
serious. Looking for serious responses.


That's lots of people.

Will Steiger, the guys who did ski circuses to both Poles and lives in
MN made some sort of plastic binding for use with his mukluks, but don't
expect much kick and glide. I tried them once years ago because they
were around, but I preferred my 75 mm set up, and I didn't get blisters or
cold feet.

What kind of "sore"? Are they too tight? Are they poking or pinching

Try talking to a good boot person at a ski shop.
In general, "very comfortable insulated work boots" are probably
too sloppy for good skiing.


I can't imagine a sloppier boot than a Steiger mukluk.
I wore my Sorels into work just because I can into and out of them.
