Head Edge 9 boots - inner boot hurts top of foot
Hi,
I have a pair of Head Edge 9 boots, size 26.5. When I flex my ankles forward I can feel the tounge of the inner boot pushing into the top of my left foot, ie the end of the tounge pushes down too much. The right foot is fine. I wore these boots for 8 weeks on the trot and it was painful and it felt as if the bones in the top of my foot were bruised. I can actually feel the pressure more if take the inner boot out and wear it and flex forward just as a test. Does anyone know if a ski boot shop would be able to correct somethng like this, I have my doubts as its the actual tounge and not anything to do with the shell. Or does anyonme have a pair of 26.5's boots like mine that they want to get rid of, as Id be willing to buy a pair just to get the inner boot. Regards, Scott |

A good boot fitter can. Some ski shops have them, some don't. Get a recommendation from a ski club or ski school. A good boot fitter can save you years of trial and error. Or does anyonme have a pair of 26.5's boots like mine that they want to get rid of, as Id be willing to buy a pair just to get the inner boot. I expect the left lining needs modification, not replacement. -- Mike Treseler |

Once the foot has a sensitive spot everything hurts that spot; c.f. the inner alone as when the OP tried the inner only, so it may still hurt even after the tongue is corrected until healed completely. If taking a couple of weeks off isn't in the cards (it wouldn't be for me) try temporary padding above and below the spot for a few days even after the tongue is fixed. |
