I have developed a sore toe joint on right big toe (possible bunion).
Bought a pair of Lange boots about four years ago used them for 2 days
no
problems then returned from holiday. Not skied since and have booked a
holiday at Porte du soliel in March but after reading this message
decided
to get boots out of loft to see how they felt . very sore on right toe
area. Any suggestions bar amputation gratefully received . Regards
Issy.

Get them pushed out as WM says below - Snow+Rock did it for me when I
bought
mine and I haven't had a problem with the toe area since. Even if you
didn't
get yours there they'll probably do it fro a few quid.

Re. my original problem I have just tried adding extra heel wedges and
that
seems to have helped a bit.

I have, in the past, successfully fixed this problem in a DIY fashion,
by
heating up the restricted portion of the shell with an Infra Red lamp,
then
putting on 2 pairs of socks and then the boot, followed by a stroll in
deep
snow to set the expanded area.
Works a treat, but perhaps not to everyone's taste ;o)

Any tips on making boots more comfortable?
I have my own boots; I've got custom footbeds and I've had them
pushed out at an awkward point near the right toe - the only thing
that bugs me now is rubbing on the inside knobbly bit of the
ankles
especially when walking/skating.
