Salomon Classic Boots-No More Foot Pain!

I finally figured out why I could never wear the Salomon classic boots
when they went to the 2 part sole. After trying the original Bumble
Bee (Yellow and Black) Salomon Classic 9 I would get really awful pain
within minutes just back of the ball of the foot. The other night I
bought some new Salomon RC Carbon Classics. After skiing yesterday for
hours I had no pain. A quick look at the bottoms revealed the
differences between the boots. The Classic 9 just like the new
Atomic's which I tried have a section of the 2 part sole ending right
under the ball of the foot and this is covered by the forward plastic
piece. If the boot is flexed by hand it's easy to see how the sole
hinges or breaks right under the ball of the foot. This constant hot
spot is what killed my feet. If you notice this yourself try the
higher end Salomon Classic boots like the Carbons. The overlapping of
sole pieces is close to the heel alowing a smooth arc for the sole to
flex. I hope this helps anyone else experiencing the discomfort I had.

Try a new footbed; something that Target sells called ; The Two Ounce
Miracle is nice; it molds to your foot.
